Aim: What factors affect rate of reactions?DO NOW:1. What does the word “rate” mean?2. What would affect the rate of reaction? What

would speed up a reaction?

Terminology•Rate of reaction- how fast, how many moles are produced or

consumed in a unit of time•Collision Theory- rate of reaction depends on how often

collisions occur and how many of them are effective•Activation Energy- smallest amount of energy needed to start

a reaction•Activated Complex- an intermediate or transitional structure

formed during the course of reaction

Collision Theory

For a reaction to happen, the particles must have effective collision; particles must have enough energy and collide at the correct angles. The collision theory explains the factors that affect the rate of reactions.

Activation Energy

•Particles need enough energy to overcome the activation energy, the smallest amount of energy needed to start a reaction.•ALL REACTIONS need to absorb energy to overcome

the activation energy. However, exothermic reactions release more energy than initially absorbed.•When the particles have absorbed enough energy

they form an activated complex.

Factors that Affect Rate of Reaction1. Concentration

More concentration more collisionsFor gases increase in pressure increases concentration increases rate of reaction

2. Temperature increase in temperature more K. E. (particles move faster) more collisions3. Surface Area increases surface area more exposed particles more collisions

Factors that Affect Rate of Reaction

4. Nature of ReactantsIonic substances react faster than molecules; involve less

rearrangement during a reaction.5. Catalysts

Lowers activation energy; particles need less energy to react

*Catalyst does not affect ΔH; there is no difference in ΔH.*

Catalyst

1. Consider the following reaction.Mg(s) + 2H2O (l) --> Mg(OH)2 + H2(g)For the reaction to occur at the fastest rate, 1g of Mg (s) should be added in the form of

1) large chunks 3) a ribbon2) small chunks 4) a powder

2. Raising the temperature speeds up the rate of chemical reaction by increasing

1) the effectiveness of the collisions only2) the frequency of the collisions only3) both the effectiveness and frequency of the collisions4) neither the effectiveness nor frequency of the collisions

3. Consider the following equation.Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) --> Cu(s) + FeSO4(aq)The Fe reacts more rapidly when it is powdered because the increased surface due to powdering permits

1) increased reactant contact2) decreased reactant contact3) pressure to affect reaction rate4) warmer solution to be used

4. If the pressure on gaseous reactants is increased the rate of the reaction is increased because there is an increase in the

Heat of Reaction

*Reminder: Heat of reaction is the amount of heat given off or absorbed in a chemical reaction*

ΔH = H (products) - H(reactants)Heat of Heat content Heat content of reaction of products reactants

Heat of Reaction for Exothermic Process

• If the products have less potential energy or heat content than the reactants, heat is given off and its is an exothermic reaction. ΔH = negative

Potential Energy Diagram (Exothermic)

Heat of Reaction for Endothermic Process

If the products have more potential energy or heat content than the reactants, heat is absorbed and its is an endothermic reaction. ΔH = positive
