CHEMICAL KINETICS # 1

CHEMICAL KINETICS

Rate/Velocity of chemical reaction :

The rate of change of concentration with time of different chemical species taking part in a chemical reaction isknown as rate of reaction of that species.

Rate = tc

=

sec.lit/mol = mol lit�1 time�1 = mol dm�3 time�1

Rate is always defined in such a manner so that it is always a positive quantity.

Order of reaction :Let there be a reaction m

2B products.

Now, if on the basis of experiment, we find thatR [A]P [B]q Where p may or may not be equal to m

1 and similarly q may or may not be equal to m

2.

p is order of reaction with respect to reactant A and q is order of reaction with respect to reactant B and(p + q) is overall order of the reaction.

Integrated rate laws :Zero order reactions :For a zero order reactionGeneral rate law is, Rate = k [conc.]º = constant

If C0 is the initial concentration of a reactant and C

t is the

concentration at time �t� then

Rate = k = 't'

CC t0 or kt = C0 � C

Methods to determine order of a reaction :By comparison of different initial rates of a reaction by varying the concentrationof one of the reactants while others are kept constant

r = k [A]a [B]b [C]c if [B] = constant[C] = constant

then for two different initial concentrations of A we have

Formula is not applicable when n = 1, the value of n can be fractional also.Do not remember the formula but derive it for each question.

By titration method :By measuring the volume of titrating agent we can monitor amount of reactant remaining or amount of productformed at any time. It is the titre value . Here the milliequivalent or millimoles are calculated using valencefactors.

V0 = vol. of titrant used at t = 0 [this is exclusively for HCl.]

Effect of temperature on rate of reaction :In early days the effect of temperature on reaction rate was expressed in terms of temperature coefficientwhich was defined as the ratio of rate of reaction at two different temperature differing by 10ºC (usually these

temperatures were taken as 25ºC and 35ºC)

T.C. = t

Enthalpy (H)

Progress of reaction (or reaction coordinate)

A catalyst drives the reaction through a low energy path andhence E

a is less. That is, the function of the catalyst is to

lower down the activation energy.E

a = Energy of activation in absence of catalyst.

E�a = Energy of activation in presence of catalyst.

Ea � E�

a = lowering of activation energy by catalyst.

Molecularity and Order :

The number of molecules that react in an elementary step is the molecularity of the elementary reaction.Molecularity is defined only for the elementary reactions and not for complex reactions. No elementary reactionsinvolving more than three molecules are known, because of very low probability of near-simultaneous collision ofmore than three molecules.The rate law for the elementary reaction

aA + bB products rate = k[A]a[B]b, where a + b = 1, 2 or 3.

For an elementary reaction, the orders in the rate law equal the coefficients of the reactants.

Mechanism of a reaction :Reactions can be divided intoElementary / simple / single stepComplex / multi-step

ELEMENTARY REACTION :

These reaction take place in single step without formation of any intermediate

P.E.

Reaction coordinates

For elementary reaction we can define molecularity of the reaction which is equal to no of molecules whichmake transition state or activated complex because of collisions in proper orientation and with sufficient energy

For complex reaction each step of mechanism will be having its own molecularity but molecularity of netcomplex reaction will not be defined.
