14.1 Reaction Rates
• Kinetics: the study of how fast reactions take place
• Some reactions are fast (photosynthesis)
• Some reactions are slow (conversion of diamond to graphite)
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Importance of Studying Reaction Rates
• Speed up desirable reactions
• Minimize damage by undesirable reactions
• Useful in drug design, pollution control, and food processing
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Rate of Reaction
• Expressed as either: – Rate of disappearance of reactants
(decrease or negative)OR
– Rate of appearance of products (increase or positive)

Average Rate
• Average rate depends on time interval
• Plot of [Br2] vs time = curve
• Plot of Rate vs [Br2] = straight line
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Instantaneous Rate
• Instantaneous: rate at a specific instance in time (slope of a tangent to the curve)
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Rate Constant
• Using data from Table 14.1 - what can you conclude?

Rate Constant Answer:
• When the [Br2] is halved; the rate is halved
• Rate is directly proportional to [Br2]
• rate = k [Br2]
• k = proportionality constant and is constant as long as temp remains constant
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Rate Constant • Calculate the value of the rate constant for
any set of data and get basically the same answer!
• k = rate / [Br2]

14.2 Dependence of Reaction Rate on Reactant
Concentration• Rate law expression For the general equation: aA + bB cC + dD rate law = k[A]x[B]y
k = proportionality constant x and y = the order of the reaction with respect to each reactant
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Order • Exponents represent order• Only determined via experimental data
– 1st order - rate directly proportional to concentration
– 2nd order - exponential relationship– 0 order - no relationship
• Sum of exponents (order) indicates overall reaction order
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Experimental Determination of Rate Law
• Method of initial rates - examine instantaneous rate data at beginning of reaction

What is Different?
• In experiment 1 and 2; [B] is constant; [A] doubles and rate doubles - the reaction is 1st order with respect to [A]
• In experiment 1 and 3; [A] is constant; [B] doubles but the rate quadruples! This means that the reaction is 2nd order with respect to [B]

Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009

• Example: A product
rate = k[A]0 = k
• Thus, a plot of [A] vs time yields a straight line.

14.4 Dependence of Reaction Rate on Temperature
• Most reactions occur faster at a higher temperature.
• How does temperature alter rate?
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Collision Theory• Particles must collide in order to react
• The greater frequency of collisions, the higher the reaction rate
• Only two particles may react at one time
• Many factors must be met:– Orientation– Energy needed to break bonds (activation
energy)
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Collision Theory
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Collision Theory
• Though it seems simple, not all collisions are effective collisions
• Effective collisions: a collision that does result in a reaction
• An activated complex (transition state) forms in an effective collision
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Activation Energy
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
The Arrhenius Equation
• The dependence of the rate constant of a reaction on temperature can be expressed
Ea = activation energy R = universal gas constant A = frequency factor T = Kelvin temp

Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Arrhenius Equation
• A plot of ln k vs 1/T will give a straight line
• The slope of line will equal Ea/R
• The activation energy may be found by multiplying the slope by “R”
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Graphing with Arrhenius
• Rate constants for the reaction

Steps:
• Make a column of ln k data
• Make a column of inverse temp (1/T)
• Plot ln k vs 1/T
• Calculate the slope
• Multiply slope by R

Arrhenius Another Way!
• Another useful arrangement of the Arrhenius equation enables calculation of: 1) Ea (with k at two different temps)
2) the rate constant at a different temperature (with Ea, k and temps)

14.5 Reaction Mechanisms• Most reactions occur in a series of steps
• The balanced equation does not tell us how the reaction occurs!
• There are often a series of steps which add together to give the overall reaction
• The series of steps is the reaction mechanism
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Reaction Mechanisms
• Most chemical reactions occur in a series of steps
• Energy of activation must be overcome to form intermediates
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Reaction Mechanism
Consider:
2NO(g) + O2(g) 2NO2(g)
The reaction cannot occur in a single step.
One proposed mechanism:
Step 1: NO + NO N2O2
Step 2: N2O2 + O2 2NO2
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Reaction Mechanism
N2O2 is an intermediate in the reaction mechanism
Intermediate: a substance that is produced in an early step and consumed in a later step
Elementary reaction: one that occurs in a single collision of the reactant molecules
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Reaction Mechanism
• Molecularity: the number of reactant molecules involved in the collision
• Unimolecular: one reactant molecule
• Bimolecular: two reactant molecules
• Termolecular: three reactant molecules (fairly rare)
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Rate Determining Step
• If the elementary reactions are known, the order can be written from the stoichiometric coefficients of the rate-determining step
• Rate-determining step: the slowest step in the mechanism
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Rate-Determining Step
• Steps of a mechanism must satisfy two requirements– Sum of elementary steps must equal the
overall balanced equation – The rate law must have same rate law as
determined from experimental data
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
• The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (2H2O2 2H2O + O2 )
may occur in the following two steps Step 1: H2O2 + I H2O + IO
Step 2: H2O2 + IO H2O + O2 + I
If step 1 is the rate-determining step, then the rate law is
rate = k1[H2O2] [I]
k1¾ ¾k2¾ ¾
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
• I does not appear in the overall balanced equation
• I serves as a catalyst in the reaction - it is present at the start of the reaction and is present at the end
• IO is an intermediate
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Potential Energy Diagram
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Reaction Mechanism • Given overall equation:
H2(g) + I2(g) 2HI(g)
Step 1: I2 2I (fast)
Step 2: H2 + 2I 2HI (slow)
rate = k2[H2] [I]2
This rate expression does not meet the requirement..I is an intermediate and should not appear in the rate expression

• Consider the first equilibrium step: the forward rate is equal to the reverse rate
k1[I2] = k-1 [I]2 k1/k-1 [I2] = [I]2
If we substitute for [I]2 , the rate law becomes
rate = k[H2] [I2] This now matches the overall balanced
equation!
(When step 2 is rate-determining this substitution is always possible)
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
14.6 Catalysis
• Catalyst - a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being used up itself
• Provides a set of elementary steps with more favorable kinetics than those that exist in its absence
• Many times a catalyst lowers the activation energy
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Reaction Pathway with Catalyst
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Types of Catalysts
• Heterogeneous catalysts - reactants and catalyst are in different phases
• Homogeneous catalysts - reactants and catalysts are dispersed in single phase
• Enzyme catalysts - biological catalysts
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Heterogeneous Catalysts
• Most important in industrial chemistry
• Used in catalytic converters in automobiles – Efficient catalytic converter serves two
purposes; oxidizes CO and unburned hydrocarbons into CO2 and H2O; converts NO and NO2 into N2 and O2
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Catalytic Converter
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Homogeneous Catalysts• Usually dispersed in liquid phase
• Acid and base catalyses are the most important types of homogeneous catalysis in liquid solution
• Advantages of homogeneous catalysts– Reactions performed at room conditions – Less expensive – Can be designed to function selectively
Copyright McGraw-Hill 2009
Biological Catalysts
• Enzymes: large protein molecule that contains one or more active sites where interactions with substrates occur
• Enzymes are highly specific (lock and key)
