Empirical Studies
Reaction rate (progress with time)
measurements:
The progress of the reactions are expressed as
the change of the concentration / pressure of
reactant(s) / product(s) / intermediate(s)
Measured by monitoring physical quantities
proportional to the concentration or pressure. For
example, absorption of radiation.

Beer-Lambert Law
Consider a thin layer of the sample (Thickness = dL)
When one molecule absorbs one photon at frequency , the
energy of the light beam reduces by
Number of incident photon per unit time: I() A/
Number of photons absorbed per unit time:
A dI/. ( dI < 0 )

Isosbestic Point
If the extinction coefficients of the two components
A and B are the same at a frequency i, that is,
A(i) = B(i) = (i), this frequency i is called the
isosbestic point.
Since for our model reaction we have
[A] + [B] = [A]0 + [B]0 at any time during the reaction,
Isosbestic Point
The existence of isosbestic point is the
evidence of having two species in the reaction
mixture in chemical equilibrium without
intermediate.
Stoichiometrically Normalized
Reaction Rates
Consider the species based on which the
reaction rate is defined, and define a rate
which applies to all the species in a reaction
Examples:
A B : -d[A]/dt = +d[B]/dt
(NH2)2CO(aq) + 2 H2O(l) 2 NH4+(aq) + CO32(aq) :
d[NH4+] / dt = 2 d[CO32] / dt = 2 d[(NH2)2CO] / dt

Continuous-Flow Method
t = t0 + S / v

Continuous-Flow Method
Disadvantages:
Must be liquid-phase reactions
Require a large amount of reactants
To achieve higher time-resolution for faster
reaction, even more reactants are required
Time resolution: t = S / v
(S = spatial resolution)
Fixed spatial resolution, then
higher v
better time resolution

Procedure:

Relaxation Method
Manfred Eigen, Nobel Prize in
Chemistry 1967
If a parameter such as temperature,
pressure, or denaturant concentration
is switched to a new value so rapidly that the
chemical system cannot respond during the
switching process, the subsequent relaxation
towards equilibrium can be monitored.

Sudden change
Quenching Method
Chemical reaction is stopped some time after it
is initiated
Advantage: composition of the reaction mixture
can be studied with slow methods in an
off-line manner
Chemical quench flow: species that can quench
the reaction is added into the flow
Freeze quench: temperature is lowered to an
extend that no more reaction will continue

Meaning of Lifetime
At time t = 0, in one liter of the reaction mixture,
there are [A]0 moles or NA [A]0 molecules inside
At time t, there are NA [A] molecules in the
reaction mixture, where [A] = [A]0 e-kt.
During time t and t + dt, the number of A molecules
which react and disappear is k NA [A] dt. The
time that these molecules remain as A is t.
The average time that each molecule A remain as A,
that is, their lifetime as A, is
