Kinetics
Chemical kinetics is the branch of
chemistry concerned with the rate of
chemical reactions and the mechanism
by which chemical reactions occur.

Collision Theory
In
order for two particles to react
chemically, they must collide. Not only
must they collide, but it must be an
“effective collision.” That is, they must
have the correct amount of energy and
collide with the proper orientation in space.
Any factor which increases the likelihood
that they will collide will increase the rate
of the chemical reaction.

Temp vs. Reaction rate
The
effect of temperature on the rate of a
chemical reaction can best be explained in
terms of the kinetic molecular theory. The
higher the temperature, the faster
molecules move. The faster they more, the
faster they collide and therefore, react at a
faster rate.

Arrhenius Equation
-
Collisions must have enough energy to
produce the reaction (must equal or
exceed the activation energy).
-
Orientation of reactants must allow
formation of new bonds.

Arrhenius Equation
If
the natural logarithm of each side of the
Arrhenius Equation is taken, the following
equation results:
ln(k) = -Ea/R (1/T) + ln(A)
y = mx + b
m = -Ea/R when ln(k) is plotted versus 1/T.

k = A or ln k = ln A - Ea / RT
Presented by Mark Langella,

Since the second form of the equation follows the form, y = mx + b,
then a graph of ln k vs 1/T should give a straight line.
The activation energy of the reaction may be calculated from the slope
of the ln k vs 1/T plot.
Slope = - E a / R
Therefore, E a = - R (slope)

Final Notes on Kinetics

•
As T increases, so does k.
Ea & E are independent of T.
A catalyst lowers Ea and increases
the rate of both kf & kr.

Light Stick Kinetics
Bend
a light stick to break the glass tube
inside mixing the hydrogen peroxide with
the phenyl oxalate ester. Repeat this
several times to eliminate any large
sections of glass and expedite mixing.
Place the light stick aside for two to three
hours. Your instructor may have activated
and aged the light sticks for you.
Presented by Mark Langella,
PWISTA.com
Prepare
the data collection device by
slipping the one-hole #00 stopper
prepared for this experiment over the
temperature probe. It might be helpful to
lubricate the hole in the stopper with
silicone oil or spray. Cut the top from an
aged and activated light stick with a sharp
knife or scissors. Divide its contents
equally with another lab group into two
small test tubes.
Presented by Mark Langella,
PWISTA.com
Place the temperature probe into the mixture.
Adjust the position of the temperature probe so
that it is centered in the solution but just visible
when you sight into the light sensor hole. It must
not extend too deep as to interfere with the light
sensor readings. Clamp the foam block onto the
ring stand with a large clamp. Gently force the
light sensor into the hole prepared for it on the
side of the foam block. It should be deep enough
to fit securely but not touch the test tube.
Presented by Mark Langella,
PWISTA.com
Place the switch on the light sensor to the 600
lux sensitivity. Plug the light sensor into Channel
one (CH1) of a powered Lab Pro and the
temperature probe into Channel two (CH2).
Connect the LabPro to your computer by means
of the appropriate cable. Double click the Logger
Pro icon on your computer. It should auto-ID
both sensors. If not, check your connections and
try again. If your instructor has a file setup for
this experiment, open it now.
Presented by Mark Langella,
PWISTA.com
Remove the test tube and temperature probe
from the foam block, placing it into a beaker of
hot (45 - 50°C) water. Using the temperature
probe as a handle, stir the water with the test
tube observing the temperature until it remains
more or less constant. Remove the test tube
from the water, dry the outside, and insert it into
the foam block.
When everything is ready, click on the green
“COLLECT” icon on the icon toolbar, and
observe the data. The experiment will run for
fifteen minutes.
Presented by Mark Langella,
PWISTA.com
When
the measurement is complete,
disassemble the apparatus, returning all
items to their designated areas. Dispose of
the spent light stick solution as indicated
by your instructor.
Clean both the temperature probe and the
test tube with a brush using soap.

Reaction Rate
It
is customary to work with positive
reaction rates, so a negative sign is used
in some cases to make the rate positive.
Rates determined over a period of time
are called average rates.
Instantaneous rate equals the negative
slope of the tangent line.

•
Differential rate law -- rate of a reaction depends on
concentration.
Integrated rate law -- concentration depends on time.
Rate laws normally only involve concentrations of
reactants.
Experimental determination of either rate law is
sufficient.
Experimental convenience dictates which rate law is
determined experimentally.
Rate law for a reaction often indicates reaction
mechanism.

reaction.

Rate-Determining Step
In
a multistep reaction, it is
the slowest step. It therefore
determines the rate of
reaction.

Fast Equilibrium Reaction
When the 1st step is not the slow step, but a
fast equilibrium, the rate can be determined as
follows:
2A + B ---> C 2nd order in B, 1st order in A.
Step 1 A + B <----> D
(Fast equilibrium)
Step 2 D + B ----> E
Slow
Step 3 E + A ----> C + B Fast
A + B <---> D
D + B ---> E
E + A ---> C + B
2 A + B ---> C
1st requirement that elementary steps
equal overall reaction is met.

Fast Equilibrium Reaction
(continued)
kf[A][B] = kr[D] (fast)
[D] = kf/kr([A][B])
Rate = k2[D][B] (slow)
Substitute fast equation in terms of [D] into
slow reaction.
Rate = k2kf/kr([A][B][B])
Rate = k[A][B]2
2nd requirement is also met, this is, then, a
possible mechanism.
