Chapter Learning Objectives

By the end of the chapter, you will be able to a. Write a reaction equation with the initial

materials (reactants) on the left, followed by a reaction arrow pointing from left to right, and the final materials (products) on the right.

b. Write a complete description of a reaction (a balanced equation) with the same number and kinds of atoms on both sides of the equation.


Chapter Learning Objectives (cont)

c. Predict the relationship between the amounts of reactants and products (the stoichiometry) from a balanced reaction equation.

d. Calculate the number of moles of a material, given the mass.

e. Calculate the number of moles produced in a chemical reaction given a reactant’s mass.

f. Chemical reactions involve energy.



g. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is conserved during chemical reactions, but it may be transformed from one type to another.

h. Reactions can be exothermic (releasing heat) or endothermic (absorbing heat).

i. Chemical reactions are spontaneous if the products are energetically downhill with respect to the reactants.



j. The second law of thermodynamics states that increasing molecular disorder (entropy) is favored.

k. The size of the energy barrier between reactants and products (the activation energy) dictates the rate of a chemical reaction (the kinetics).

l. A catalyst lowers the activation energy, thereby speeding up the rate of a chemical reaction.

1. The size of the energy barrier on the pathway from reactants to products determines how fast a reaction proceeds.

2. Slow reactions have relatively large energy barriers, while fast reactions have relatively small energy barriers.


Activation Energy

• The activation energy is the minimum energy needed for a reaction to take place.

• When a collision provides energy equal to or greater than the activation energy, product can form.

1. Two chemical species must come together in the right orientation with sufficient energy to undergo reaction.


Collision Theory•Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide for a reaction to occur.•The collision between the atoms, molecules, or ions must be sufficiently energetic for reaction to occur.•In some reactions, collision are productive only if the reactants are properly oriented relative to each other upon collision.•Bonds are made or broken in most chemical reactions. Some reactions may involve only electron transfer, however.•Energy is absorbed during bond breakage and released during bond formation.


Collision Theory of Reactions

A chemical reaction occurs when

• collisions between molecules have sufficient energy to break the bonds in the reactants.

• bonds between atoms of the reactants (N2 and O2) are broken and new bonds (NO) can form.
