Chemical Kinetics is the study of the rates and mechanisms of reactions.
Reaction Rates are determined through the changes in concentration of the reactants and the products over time
5
Factors that Influence the Reaction Rate:
1. Concentration: The higher the
concentration of the reactants, the more
collisions that occur.
2. Physical State: The reactants have to be
able to mix in order for them to collide.
6
Consider the following phases and discuss how
each may influence the collisions of reactants:
Aqueous Gaseous Liquid Solid
Consider the various physical states of sugar
Granular Powdered Rock candy
Which of these states has the greatest surface area
and how might this affect the collisions of
reactants?
Example: Top photo is a hot nail in oxygen gas.
Bottom photo is hot steel wool in oxygen gas.
Why does the steel wool burn so much more
rapidly than the nail?
8
3. Temperature: Reactant molecules must
collide AND collide with enough energy to
react.
The higher the temperature, the higher the kinetic
energy.
The higher the kinetic energy, the more collisions.
The higher the kinetic energy, the more collisions
with sufficient energy to react.

Mathematical Expressions of Reaction Rates
Consider the reaction: 2 N2O5(g) � 4 NO2(g) + O2(g)
Average Rate of Decomposition: Rate = - ∆ [N2O5]
∆ t
Where ∆t = tf – ti and
∆[N2O5] = [N2O5] f - [N2O5] i
Average Rate of O2 Formation: Rate = ∆ [O2]
∆ t
11
Note: - ∆ [N2O5] does not equal ∆ [O2]
∆ t ∆ t
WHY?
So…. - ∆ [N2O5] equals ∆ [O2]
2 ∆ t ∆ t
and
- ∆ [N2O5] equals ∆ [NO2]
2 ∆ t 4 ∆ t
12
General Equation:
a A + b B � c C + d D
R = -∆[A] = -∆[B] = ∆[C] = ∆[D]
a ∆t b ∆t c ∆t d ∆t
Rates of reactions are expressed in the following units: M/s or mol/L-s
13
Example: Express the rate of the reaction below in terms of the changes in concentrations with respect to (wrt) time.
4NH3(g) + 7O2(g) � 4NO2(g) + 6H2O(g)
14
Reaction Rates Do Not Remain
Constant Over Time
Why?
[ ]’s change, thus the number of
collisions change
18
Note the slope of the previous graph is the rate of the reaction wrt the disappearance of O3: rise/run or -∆[O3]/∆t
Example Problem: Calculate the average rate for the reaction below wrt [N2O5]
2 N2O5 � 4 NO2 + O2
Time [N2O5]
600 s 1.24 X 10-2 M
1200 s 0.93 X 10-2 M

Rate Law Expressions
General Equation: a A + b B � c C + d D
Rate = k [A]m [B]n
Where k is the rate constant and is temp dependent
m and n are the reaction orders wrt each
reactant.
Note: Rate constants and reaction orders are
experimentally determined
21
Example: Consider the reaction below and determine the orders of the reaction from the data.
A + B + C � D
The rate doubles when [A] is doubled while holding [B] and [C] constant.
The rate quadruples when [B] doubles while holding [A] and [C] constant.
The rate does not change when [C] triples while holding [A] and [B] constant.
22
Important: The reaction coefficients do not always agree with the order of the reaction wrt the particular reactant.
Here’s another one: Write the rate law expression for the reaction below. The rate doubles when [NO2] doubles while [F2] remains constant. The rate also doubles when [F2] is doubled when [NO2] is held constant.
2 NO2 + F2 � 2 NO2F
23
Consider the data above for the reaction below:
O2 + 2 NO � 2 NO2
Write the rate law expression and determine the value of k for run # 1.
Another Example: Determine the Rate Law Expression.

Integrated Rate Laws
Changes in concentration of reactant(s) over time.
We will consider three types of reaction rates:
First, Second, and Zero Order wrt ONE reactant.
27
Can you write equations for each of the examples in the previous slide?
These equations simplified, I’ll let you do the math:
First Order: ln [A]o/[A]t = kt
Second Order: 1/[A]t – 1/[A]0 = kt
Zero Order: [A]t – [A]0 = -kt
The decomposition of N2O5. What order of reaction is
this decomposition?
See next slide for assistance.

Lab Manual: Problem Solving with Rates of Reactions Part B
First Order Reaction. Cyclopropane is used as an anesthetic. Its isomerization to propene is a first order reaction. It has a rate constant of 9.2 /s at 1,000oC. If 6.00 M cyclopropane is used initially, what would be its concentration after just 1.0 second?
First Order: ln ([6.00 M]0/[A]t) = (9.2/s)(1.0s)
[A] = 6.1 X 10-4 M
31
Half-Life Reactions
Half-Life: The amount of time it takes for the reactant concentration to reach one half of its initial value.

First Order Half Life
Recall: ln ([A]0/[A]t) = kt
ln ([A]0/1/2[A]0) = kt1/2
ln 2 = kt1/2
Lab Manual Problem II. Half life using First Order Rxn.
The following reaction is a first order reaction wrt
nitrite ion and its rate constant is 0.0030 /s. In a
solution that is 10.0 M NO2- , what is the half-life of the
reaction?
NH4+ + NO2
- � N2 + 2 H2O
38
Oftentimes we need to know how much of a substance is remaining after a certain period of time.
Given the half-life we can calculate the rate constant for the reaction. Then, using the rate constant in the original equation, we can solve for the amount of substance remaining after specific period of time.
39
Problem
A first order reaction has a half-life of 35.0 seconds. What is the concentration of a reactant remaining after 2.0 minutes if the original concentration is 6.5 M?
40
Second Order Half-Life Reactions
Recall: 1/[A]t – 1/[A]0 = kt
1/(1/2[A]0) – 1/[A]0 = kt1/2
2/[A]0 - 1/[A]0 = kt1/2
1/[A]0 = kt1/2
43
What is this “Rate Constant?”
The rate constant (k) is the product of…
collision frequency (Z),
the fraction of collisions with the minimum
amount of energy (f), and
the fraction of collisions with the proper
orientation (p).
k = Zfp or
since A = Zp, then k = Af
where both Z and f are temperature dependent.
44
The Arrhenius Equation: Relationship between the reaction rate constant, temperature, and activation energy.
k = Ae-Ea/RT
where R = 8.314 J/mol-K
Let’s look at a reaction at two different temperatures.
45
Effect of Temperature on Reaction
Rates
General Rule of Thumb: For every 10oC increase in temperature the reaction rate will double.
Activation Energy (Ea) is the minimum amount of energy the reactants must have to form the products.
The Arrhenius Equation can be mathematically manipulated in the following format:
ln k = -Ea/R(1/T) + ln A
y = m (x) + b
50
Using mathematical manipulation, the equation
can be used in the following format:
ln (k2/k1) = -(Ea/R)(1/T2 – 1/T1)
Problem:
The rate constant for the rxn of hydrogen
reacting with iodine to form hydrogen iodide is
2.7 X 10-4 L/mol-s at 600 K and 3.5 X 10-3
L/mol-s at 650 K. (a) Determine the activation
energy for this reaction. (b) Determine the
rate constant at 700. K.
51
Two Theories
I. Collision Theory – Assumes in order for a reaction to occur:
(a) molecules must collide with a
minimum amount of energy (Ea).
(b) molecules must have the proper
orientation.
Second Theory
II. Transition State Theory: A high energy
species forms when an effective collision
takes place.

Reaction Mechanisms
A reaction mechanism is a sequence of single
step reactions that when added together give
the overall or net reaction.
Example:
A + Bk1
k-1C
C + B D + Ek2
Ek3 F + G
A + 2B D + F + G

unimolecular
67
Write rate law expressions for each of the reaction steps of the previous reaction.
R1 = k1[A][B] also, R1 = k-1 [C]
R2 = k2 [C][B]
R3 = k3 [E]
Note: One of these steps is slower than the others. This is called the rate determining step (rds) and represents the Rate Law expression.
In addition, species C & E are reaction intermediates and not actual substances. How do you know this?
68
If the rds for the reaction above is step 2, write a rate law expression for this reaction.
R2 = k2[C][B]
However, C is not an actual substance, its an intermediate.
We need a rate law expression in terms of actual substances.
So… through mathematical substitutions we can derive one.
69
k1[A][B] = k-1[C]
Therefore, k1[A][B] = [C]
k-1
Substitute
R2 = k2k1 [A][B]2
k-1
R2 = k[A][B]2 where k = k2k1/k-1
Another example: What is the overall rxn and rate law expression if the second step is the rds?
NO + O2 NO3
NO3 + NO 2 NO2
Another Example: What is the overall rxn
and rate law expression if the first step is the rds.
2 NO N2O2 fast
N2O2 + H2 N2O + H2O slow
N2O + H2 N2 + H2O fast

Catalysts
Catalysts are used to speed up a reaction by lowering the activation energy.
Note: The catalyst is not used up in a reaction.
