Rates of Reactions?
aA + bB cC + dD
Rate = k [NH4+]m[NO2-]n
where k is the rate constant
and m and n represent the reaction orders
Assigning Reaction Orders
Reaction Orders
Rate = k [NO]2[O2]
Second order in NO
First order in O2
Third order overall
PV = nRT
P = (n/V)RT
Concentration is moles per liter (n/V)
This shows that P and n/v are directly
proportional for a gas.
[Concentration] vs. Time
t(½) = 0.693
k
Example Problem
kt = _1_ - _1_
[A]t [A]o
t(½) = _1_
k[A]o
Example Problem
2 I (g) I2 (g)
This is a second order reaction in I (g). The
rate constant at 23 oC is 7.0 x 109 M-1s-1.
• Arrhenius equation
ln k = ln A – Ea
RT
ln k = – Ea + ln A
RT
Relationship Between k and T
ln k1 = Ea ( 1 - 1 )
k2 R T2 T1
Example problem
• Assertions
1. Collisions between
molecules must occur.
2. Some collisions occur at
speeds that are too low; no
reaction occurs Emin
3. Some collisions are at
speeds high enough to
smash particles
Factors Affecting the Rate of Reaction
Dependency on Energy
(Fraction of collisions
with sufficient energy)
Boltzmann distribution
e-Emin/RT
Factors Affecting the Rate of Reaction
1. Energy dependence
2. Frequency of collision dependence
Rate of Rxn = (frequency of collision) x (fraction with Esuff)
DE?
Potential Energy Surface
H2 + Brl HBr + Hl
Reaction Mechanisms
• The existence of Ea indicates that for a chemical
reaction to occur it is not as simple as:
Reactants Products
unimolecular
bimolecular
termolecular – not a likely reaction step.
This would require three molecules
colliding with one another simultaneously
What if Slow Step is 2nd? And
reversible?
1) NO (g) + O2 (g) NO3 (g)
2) NO3 (g) + NO (g) 2 NO2 (g)
