• Kinetics => study of how fast chemical reactions occur.• Four important factors which affect rates of reactions:

– reactant concentration,

– temperature,

– action of catalysts, and

– surface area.

• Goal: to understand chemical reactions at the molecular level (Mechanisms)

Factors that Affect Reaction RatesFactors that Affect Reaction RatesFactors that Affect Reaction RatesFactors that Affect Reaction Rates

• Speed of a reaction is measured by the change in concentration with time.

• For the reaction A B there are two ways of measuring rate:– the speed at which the products appear (i.e. change in moles of B

per unit time), or

– the speed at which the reactants disappear (i.e. the change in moles of A per unit time).

Change of Rate with Time• Most useful units for rates are to look at molarity. Since

volume is constant, molarity and moles are directly proportional.

• Consider:

C4H9Cl(aq) + H2O(l) C4H9OH(aq) + HCl(aq)

Reaction RatesReaction RatesReaction RatesReaction Rates

Change of Rate with Time

C4H9Cl(aq) + H2O(l) C4H9OH(aq) + HCl(aq)

– calculate average rate in terms of the disappearance of C4H9Cl.

– Units for average rate: mol/L·s or mol L-1 s-1 or M/s or M s-1 .– The average rate decreases with time.

– Plot [C4H9Cl] versus time.

– The rate at any instant in time (instantaneous rate) is the slope of the tangent to the curve.

– Instantaneous rate is different from average rate.– We usually call the instantaneous rate the rate.

Exponents in the Rate Law• For a general reaction with rate law

we say the reaction is mth order in reactant 1 and nth order in reactant 2.

• The overall order of reaction is m + n + ….• A reaction can be zeroth order if m, n, … are zero.• Note the values of the exponents (orders) have to be determined

experimentally. They are not simply related to stoichiometry.

concentrations as a function of time.• For a first-order reaction, the rate doubles as the

concentration of a reactant doubles.– Plot [C4H9Cl] versus time.

Half-Life• Half-life is the time taken for the concentration of a

reactant to drop to half its original value.

• For a first-order process, half life, t½ is the time taken for [A]0 to reach ½[A]0.

The Collision Model

• As temperature increases, the rate increases.

The Collision Model• The collision model: in order for molecules to react they must

collide.• The greater the number of collisions the faster the rate.• The more molecules present, the greater the probability of

collision and the faster the rate.• The higher the temperature, the more energy available to the

molecules and the faster the rate.• Complications: not all collisions lead to products. In fact, only

a small fraction of collisions lead to product.

The Orientation Factor

Temperature and RateTemperature and RateTemperature and RateTemperature and Rate

Activation Energy• Arrhenius: molecules must posses a minimum amount of

energy to react. Why?– In order to form products, bonds must be broken in the

reactants.

– Bond breakage requires energy.

• Activation energy, Ea, is the minimum energy required to initiate a chemical reaction.

The Arrhenius Equation• Arrhenius discovered most reaction-rate data obeyed the

Arrhenius equation:

– k is the rate constant, Ea is the activation energy, R is the gas constant (8.314 J/K-mol) and T is the temperature in K.

– A is called the frequency factor.

– A is a measure of the probability of a favorable collision.

– Both A and Ea are specific to a given reaction.

Determining the Activation Energy

• If we have a lot of data, we can determine Ea and A graphically by rearranging the Arrhenius equation:

• From the above equation, a plot of ln k versus 1/T will have slope of –Ea/R and intercept of ln A.

• The balanced chemical equation provides information about the beginning and end of reaction.

• The reaction mechanism gives the path of the reaction.• Mechanisms provide a very detailed picture of which bonds

are broken and formed during the course of a reaction.

Nuclear Equations• Nucleons: particles in the nucleus:

– p+: proton

– n0: neutron.

• Mass number: the number of p+ + n0.• Atomic number: the number of p+.• Isotopes: have the same number of p+ and different numbers of n0.• In nuclear equations, number of nucleons is conserved:

Neutron-to-Proton Ratio• The heavier the nucleus,

the more neutrons are required for stability.

• The belt of stability deviates from a 1:1 neutron to proton ratio for high atomic mass.

Radioactive SeriesFor 238U, the first decay is to 234Th (-decay). The 234Th undergoes -emission to 234Pa and 234U. 234U undergoes -decay (several times) to 230Th, 226Ra, 222Rn, 218Po, and 214Pb. 214Pb undergoes -emission (twice) via 214Bi to 214Po which undergoes -decay to 210Pb. The 210Pb undergoes -emission to 210Bi and 210Po which decays () to the stable 206Pb.

• Half-lives can range from fractions of a second to millions of years.

• Naturally occurring radioisotopes can be used to determine how old a sample is.

• This process is radioactive dating.

because half-lives are constant.• We assume the ratio of 12C to 14C has been constant over time.• For us to detect 14C the object must be less than 50,000 years
