Rate Law

Rate=k[NO2]n

The concentration of the products do not appear in the rate law.

The value of the exponent n must be determined by experiment; it cannot be written from the balanced equation.

Types of Rate Laws Integrated Rate Law: how the concentration

of species in the reaction depend on time Differential Rate Law: how the rate of a

reaction depends on concentrations Determine the differential rate law for a given

reaction, the form of integrated rate law can be automatically known, and vice versa

Initial-Rate method

To determine the instantaneous rate before the initial concentration of reactants have changed significantly.

Several experiments are carried out using different initial concentrations.

The initial rate is determined for each run.

Half-Life of a First Order Reaction

The time required for a reaction to reach half of its original concentration is called half-life of a reaction and id designated by t1/2.

Arrhenius Postulations Collisions and Rate

- the rate of reaction is much smaller than

calculated collision frequency. A threshold energy (activation energy)

- This kinetic energy is changed into potential energy as the molecules are distorted during a collision, breaking bonds and rearranging the atoms into product molecules.

Collisions Frequency and Molecular orientations Experiments show that the observed reaction

rate is considerably smaller than the rate of collisions with enough energy to surmount the barrier.

The collision must involve enough energy to produce the reaction.

The relative orientation of the reactants must allow formation of any new bonds necessary to products.

Temperature Dependence of Rate Constants

The order of each reactant depends on the detailed reaction mechanism.

Chemical reaction speed up when the temperature is increased.

- molecules must collide to react - an increase in temperature increases the frequency of intermolecular collisions.

Reaction Mechanism

Most chemical reactions occur by a series of steps called the reaction mechanism.

The sum of the elementary steps must give the overall balanced equation for the reaction.

The mechanism must agree with the experimentally determined rate law.

Activated Complex Theory

The arrangement of atoms found at the top of potential energy hill or barrier is called the activated complex or transition state.

△E has no effect on the rate of reaction. The rate depends on the size of the activation

energy Ea

Catalysis

A substance can speed up a reaction without being consumed itself.

The catalyst is to provide a new pathway for the reaction and to decrease activation energy.

Effect of a catalyst

Heterogeneous Catalysis

Adsorption and activation of the reactants Migration of the adsorbed reactants on the

surface Reaction among the adsorbed substances Escape, or desorption, of the products.

Hydrogenation of ethylene

Exhaust gases
