Kinetics: Rates and Mechanisms of Reactions
Chemical Kinetics tells us: …how fast a reaction will occur …how molecules react (MECHANISM)
a mechanism is a sequence of steps that lead to the product
2
Factors Affecting the rate:
1. concentration:
2. temperature:
generally a 10oC increase will double the rate
3. nature of the reactant: i.e. surface area
4. catalyst: (two types: homogenous and heterogeneous)
5. mechanism: (orientation, shape, & order)
COLLISION THEORY = CAPPING A MARKER
3
Rate of RXN =
The increase in concentration of a product per unit time.or
The decrease in concentration of a reactant per unit time.
4
Conc. is usually measured in M (Molarity= mol/L) for solutions.
Rate = M time
= mol L • s
or mol•L-1•s-1 or M•s -1
Since many reactions involve gases, P is often used for concentration.
Square brackets [ ] are often used to express molarity (i.e. [HCl] means Molarity of HCl)
... of units has Vn and RT
Vn P nRT, PV from

IF we can now somehow get a linear plot in the form of:
y = mx + b.
The slope would be a constant independent
of concentration!
13
We could call the slope the rate constant and assign it the letter
k!
rate constant = k instantaneous rate or rate
“call in the mathematicians”
14
rate constant: k is conc. independent
Is still temperature dependent and mechanism dependent!

Key Equations:
**Since the units of rate are Since the units of rate are concentration/time, the units of k (the rate concentration/time, the units of k (the rate constant) must dimensionally agree. So for constant) must dimensionally agree. So for each order, k will have different units and each order, k will have different units and those units can tell one which equation to those units can tell one which equation to use. [ ] means the concentration of the use. [ ] means the concentration of the enclosed species in Molarity (M).enclosed species in Molarity (M).

Prepare THREE graphs to determine if the RXN is ZERO, 1st, or 2nd order. Then determine the value and units of the rate constant k.

rate = k[A]2
1/[A]t = kt + 1/[A]0

46
Zero Order:rate = k[A]0 = k
rate = k integrated gives: [A]t = -kt + [A]0

Reaction Mechanisms: Reaction is broken into steps with intermediates being formed.
“some RXNS occur in one step, but most occur in in multiple steps.”
Each Step is called an elementary step, and the number of molecules involved in each step defines the molecularity of the step.
uni-molecular: = 1 i.e. O3* O2 + O
bi-molecular: = 2 (these are the most common) i.e. HI + HI activated complex H2 + I2
ter-molecular: = 3 (rare, due to probability of orientation and energy both being correct.) i.e. O(g) + O2(g) + N2(g) O3(g) + “energetic” N2(g)

Overall RXN: 2NH3(g) + NaOCl(aq) N2H4(aq) + NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Proposed Mechanism: (Only from experiment)

+‡ + Cl-(aq)Step 3: N2H5

“Cancel intermediates and “add steps” to give overall RXN.”2NH3(g) + OCl-(aq) N2H4(aq) + Cl-(aq) + H2O(l)
The overall rate law, mechanism, and the total order can’t be predicted from the stoichiometry, only by experiment.
68
The following is only true for individual steps:
The rate law of an elementary step is given by the product of a rate constant and the conc. of the reactants in the step.
Step Molecularity rate law
A Product(s) uni rate = k[A]
A + B Product(s) bi rate = k[A][B]
A + A Product(s) bi rate = k[A]2
2A + B Product(s) ter rate = k[A]2[B]
The overall mechanism must match the observed rate law.
Usually one STEP is assumed to be the rate determining step.
69
Example:
Overall RXN: 2NO2(g) + F2(g) 2NO2F(g)
Observed Experimental rate law: rate = k[NO2][F2]
Question: Why does this rule out a single step RXN?
Answer:rate law for single step process would be: rate = k[NO2]2[F2]
“Let’s try to work out a Mechanism that matches the observed rate law.”
70
Example:
Overall RXN: 2NO2(g) + F2(g) 2NO2F(g)
Observed Experimental rate law: rate = k[NO2][F2]
slow: NO2(g) + F2(g) NO2F(g) + F(g) ‡k1
fast: NO2(g) + F(g) ‡ NO2F(g)k2
The rate law is dependent upon the slow step.
rate = k[NO2][F2]
2NO2(g) + F2(g) 2NO2F(g)
71
Let’s try making the 2nd RXN slow and the first fast
Overall RXN: 2NO2(g) + F2(g) 2NO2F(g)
Observed Experimental rate law: rate = k[NO2][F2]
fast: NO2(g) + F2(g) NO2F(g) + F(g) ‡k1
slow: NO2(g) + F(g) ‡ NO2F(g)k2
The rate law is dependent upon the slow step.
2NO2(g) + F2(g) 2NO2F(g)
rate = k[NO2][F ‡]

For the following mechanism:
2NO N2O2 (fast)
N2O2 + H2 H2O + N20 (slow)
N2O + H2 N2 + H2O (fast)
a. Determine the overall reaction
b. Does the mechanism agree with the rate law:
rate = k[NO]2[H2]
