CHAPTER: 4 CHEMICAL KINETICS (10+2)


The branch of chemistry which deals with the study of rate of reaction and the factors which influences the rate of reaction is called CHEMICAL KINETICS. Reactions involving ionic species are called IONIC REACTIONS. These are fast reactions and occur generally in 10-12 to 10-16 seconds. These reactions involve only ions and no bond are broken. Example- The precipitation of silver chloride occurs very quickly on mixing silver nitrate and sodium chloride. Rate of a reaction may be defined as the change in concentration of any one of the reactant or product per unit time. Here A + B C Now rate is given as = = = The rate of disappearance is called change in concentration of reactants. The rate of appearance is called change in concentration of products. UNITS :Units of concentration : MOL L-1 Units of Rate : MOL L-1 S-1 In case of reactants the minus sign is used. This shows that concentration of reactants is decreasing with time. To get unique value of reaction rate, we divide the rate of reaction defined with any of the reactant or product by stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant or product involved in the reaction. AVERAGE RATE = =
  

It is the change in concentration of any one of the reactant or product per unit time. It is applicable only for simple reactions produced almost at same rate. INSTANTANEOUS RATE = =
     

It is the change in concentration of any one of the reactant or product at a given time. It is applicable to simple as well as complex reactions.

The rate of reaction does not remain constant because the concentration of reactants go on decreasing with time. In aqueous solutions the rate of reaction is not expressed in terms of change of concentration of water. Because the change is very small.
