CHAPTER 13

CHEMICAL KINETICS

Page 3: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

- Chemical reactions occur when reactant species strike each other and interact to form products

Reaction kinetics is studied to

- improve production of materials- increase quality and quantity of products

- increase energy efficiency- minimize pollution

etc

RATES OF REACTIONS

Units: M/s

Square brackets represent molar concentrations [reactant] = reactant concentration[product] = product concentration

Page 6: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

Rate of appearance of product = rate of disappearance of reactant

- Reactant concentration decreases during reaction∆[reactant] is negative

- Product concentration increases during reaction∆[product] is positive

- Rate is always positive

- Rate can be measured by following the concentrations of reactants or products

RATES OF REACTIONS

Page 7: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

- Rate of reaction is generally not constant

- Rate of reaction changes over the course of reaction

- Concentration of reactants or products are measured at regulartime intervals

- A graph of concentration vs time may be plotted

- Instantaneous rate at a given time is the slope of the tangent to the curve at that time

- Average rate is measured rate over a time interval

Factors Affecting Rate of Chemical Reaction

- Concentration of reactants

- Reaction temperature

- Physical nature of reactants

- Catalysts

RATES OF REACTIONS

Page 12: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

Concentration of Reactants

- An increase in the concentration of reactants causes an increase in the rate of reaction

- Collisions are more frequent in a given time for higher concentrations

RATES OF REACTIONS

Page 13: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

Reaction Temperature

- An increase in temperature of a system increases the average kinetic energy of the reacting molecules

- An increase in kinetic energy results in an increase in collisions in a given time

- The rate of a chemical reaction normally doubles for every 10 oC raise in temperature

RATES OF REACTIONS

Page 15: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

Physical State of Reactants: solid, liquid, or gas

- Most frequent collisions occur in the gaseous state (the most freedom of movement of particles)

Solid-State Particle Size- Smaller particles have larger surface area and

higher reaction rates

- Extremely small particles may result in very fast reaction rates and may lead to explosion

RATES OF REACTIONS

Page 16: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

Catalysts

-Catalysts increase the rate of a reaction without being used up

RATES OF REACTIONS

Page 17: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

- Rate of reaction is strongly influenced by concentrationsof reacting species

- Rate is proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants each raised to some power

aA + bB → cC + dD

Rate = k[A]x[B]y

x and y are usually positive integersk = rate constant

RATE LAW

Page 18: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

aA + bB → cC + dD

Rate = k[A]x[B]y

- x and y are not necessarily coefficients of A and B- x and y are the orders of the reaction

- Described as xth order in A and yth order in B

If x = 1 and y = 2The reaction is first order in A and second order in B

Overall order = 1 + 2 = 3

RATE LAW

Page 19: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

Example

For the reaction

2NO2(g) + F2(g) → 2NO2F(g)

Rate = k[NO2][F2]

The reaction is first order in NO2 and first order in F2

RATE AND TEMPERATURE

- Almost all reactions go faster at higher temperatures

- The rate of most reactions increase at increasing temperature

- The order of the reaction usually does not change with temperature

Page 50: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

Page 51: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

COLLISION THEORY

- Explains the rate of reactions in terms of molecular-scale collisions

- The basic assumption is that molecules must collide to react

- The collision frequency (Z) is the number of collisions per second

- Z depends on the concentrations of the reacting species

Page 52: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

COLLISION THEORY

- The collision frequency (Z) between two molecules is proportional to the product of their concentrations

- For two reacting molecules XY and AB

Z α [XY][AB]

Z = Z0[XY][AB]

Z0 = is the proportionality constant

Z0 depends on sizes and speed of reacting species

Page 53: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

COLLISION THEORY

- Collision frequency increases with increasing temperature as molecules move faster

- However, the increase in collision frequency cannot accountfor the temperature dependence of reaction rate

- Not every collision results in a chemical reaction

Page 54: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

ACTIVATION ENERGY (Ea)

- Not all collisions result in the formation of products (by Svante Arrhenius)

- Molecules must collide with enough energy to rearrange the bonds

- Molecules bounce off if the total energy of colliding species is not enough

- Activation energy (Ea) is the minimum collision energy required for a reaction to occur

Page 55: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

THE ACTIVATED COMPLEX

- Is a transition state

- The least stable or highest energy transition state

- Very unstable and concentration is extremely small

- The energy needed to from the activated complex from the reactants is the activation energy

- Reactions with high activation energies are generally slower than reactions with low activation energies

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE

- The effect of temperature on reaction rate is influenced by the magnitude of the activation energy

- The number of molecules with high enough kinetic energies to initiate a reaction is directly related to temperature

- The fraction of collisions (fr) with energy in excess of Ea

/RTEr

R is the gas constant = 8.314 J/mol·KT is the temperature in Kelvin

Page 58: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE

- fr is between 0 and 1

- fr gets closer to 1 as T increases

- Ea does not change with T

- Number of collisions exceeding Ea increases exponentially with T

STERIC FACTOR

- The expression predicts faster rates than experimentally observed

- Not all collisions with energies greater than Ea result in a reaction

- The correct orientation of reactants is an important factor

- The steric factor (p) expresses the need for the correct orientation

Rate = (steric factor) x (collision frequency) x (fraction exceeding Ea)

THE ARRHENIUS EQUATION

The activation energy for the decomposition of HI(g) to H2(g) and I2(g) is 186 kJ/mol. The rate constant at 555 K is

3.52 x 10-7 L/mol·s. What is the rate constant at 645 K?

A first order reaction has rate constant of 4.6 x 10-2 s-1 and 8.1 x 10-2 s-1 at 0 oC and 20 oC, respectively. What is the value of the activation energy?

Ea = 19 kJ/mol

Page 67: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

THE ARRHENIUS EQUATION

A certain reaction has an activation energy of 54.0 kJ/mol.As the temperature is increased from 22 oC to a higher temperature,

the rate constant increases by a factor of 7.00. Calculate the higher temperature.

T2 = 324 K or 51 oC

Page 68: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

CATALYSIS

Rate of reaction can be increased in two ways

1) Increase the temperature

2) Reduce the activation energy or increase the steric factor(addition of catalyst)

- A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of reaction but is not consumed in the reaction

- A catalyzed reaction generally has lower activation energy

Page 69: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

- Catalysts increase the rate of a reaction without being used up

- Provide alternative reaction pathways with lower activation energies

Uncatalyzed reaction: X + Y → XY

Catalyzed reaction: Step 1 X + C → XCStep 2 XC + Y → XY + C

HOMOGENEOUS CATALYSIS

- Present in the same phase as the reactants

ExampleN2(g) + O2(g) → 2NO(g)

The formation of ozone

Page 72: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS

- Present in a different phase from the reactants

ExamplesUse of solid metal catalysts such as platinum, nickel, palladium, titanium

Use of platinum catalyst for the production of methanol from hydrogen and carbon monoxide

2H2(g) + CO(g) → CH3OH(g)

- Catalysts can determine the nature of products formedPlatinum catalyst produces methanol

Nickel catalyst produces methane and water

Page 73: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

ENZYME CATALYSIS

- Enzymes are large molecules that catalyze specific biochemical reactions

- An enzyme is specifically tailored to facilitate a given reaction

- Enzymes increase the rate of reaction by increasing the steric factor rather than decreasing the activation energy

- Enzymes are generally named after the reactions they catalyze(that is their functions)

ExamplesCarboxypeptidase-A, Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)

Page 74: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

COLLISIONS BETWEEN MOLECULES

- The sequence of steps leading from reactants to products is known as the reaction mechanism

- Some reactions require only one step (a single collision)

- Other reactions require more than one collisions leading to the formation of intermediates

Page 75: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

INTERMEDIATES

- Compounds that are produced in one step and consumed in another

- Not observed among the products of the reaction

- Differ from activated complex

- An intermediate is in a shallow minimum in the energy level diagram

- An activated complex occurs at the maximum in the energy level diagram

ELEMENTARY STEP

- Chemical equation that describes an actual molecular-level event

- The overall reaction is the sum of the elementary reactions

ExampleNO2 + NO2 → NO3 + NO step 1NO3 + CO → NO2 + CO2 step 2

NO2 + CO → NO + CO2 overall

NO3 is an intermediate

Page 78: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

RATE LAW FOR ELEMENTARY STEP

- Rate law of an elementary step can be written directly from the stoichiometry of that step

Consider an elementary stepiA + jB → products

Rate = k[A]i[B]j

- The rate law for an overall reaction cannot be determined from the stoichiometry

Page 79: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

Molecularity- The number of species involved in a single elementary step

Unimolecular Step- Involves the spontaneous decomposition of a single molecule

- First-order rate law describes the kineticsHCl → H + Cl

Bimolecular Step- Involves the collision of two species

- Second-order rate law describes the kineticsNO2 + NO2 → N2O4

RATE LAW FOR ELEMENTARY STEP

Page 80: PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY  II  CHEM 1212 CHAPTER  13

Termolecular Step- Involves the collision of three species

- Third-order rate law describes the kinetics- Uncommon

NO2 + NO + O2 → NO3 + NO2

- Collisions involving four or more species are very rare

RATE-LIMITING STEP

- The slowest elementary step in a given reaction

- The rate of a chemical reaction is limited by the rate of the slowest step

- The rate law of the slowest step is consistent with the experimental rate law of the overall reaction

Example2NO ↔ N2O2 fast, reversible

N2O2 + Cl2 → 2NOCl slow step (rate limiting)

COMPLEX REACTION MECHANISMS

- Reactions in which the rate limiting step is not the first step

- Reaction rate may depend on intermediates

- Intermediates are unstable and their concentrations are difficult to measure

- Rate laws are not written in terms of intermediates

- Other complex reactions contain rapid and reversible steps before the rate-limiting step

ENZYME METABOLISM

- Many enzyme catalyzed reactions follow the Michaelis-Menten mechanism

E + S ↔ ES → E + P

- Rate of reaction is zero order in substrate (S)

Substrate- The compound on which the enzyme acts

- Product (P) does not bind to enzyme (E)- First step is fast and reversible

- Second step is irreversible
