Chemical Kinetics: A Preview
• Chemical kinetics is the study of:
– the rates of chemical reactions
– factors that affect these rates
– the mechanisms by which reactions occur
• Reaction rates vary greatly – some are very fast
(burning, precipitation) and some are very slow
(rusting, disintegration of a plastic bottle in
sunlight).

Variables in Reaction Rates
• Concentrations of reactants: Reaction rates
generally increase as the concentrations of
the reactants are increased.
• Temperature: Reaction rates generally
increase rapidly as the temperature is
increased.
• Surface area: For reactions that occur on a
surface rather than in solution, the rate
increases as the surface area is increased.

The Meaning of Rate
• The rate of a reaction is the change in
concentration of a product per unit of time
(rate of formation of product).
• Rate is also viewed as the negative of the
change in concentration of a reactant per
unit of time (rate of disappearance of
rate of disappearance of reactant
reactant).

Rate Laws: A Summary
• Because we typically consider reactions only
under conditions where the reverse reaction is
unimportant, our rate laws will involve only
concentrations of reactants.
• Because the differential and integrated rate
laws for a given reaction are related in a well–
defined way, the experimental determination of
either of the rate laws is sufficient.

• Knowing the rate law for a reaction is important

Method of Initial Rates
• The value of the initial rate is determined for
each experiment at the same value of t as close
to t = 0 as possible.
• Several experiments are carried out using
different initial concentrations of each of the
reactants, and the initial rate is determined for
each run.
• The results are then compared to see how the
initial rate depends on the initial concentrations
of each of the reactants.

The Rate Law of a Chemical Reaction
• The rate law for a chemical reaction relates
the rate of reaction to the concentrations of
aAreactants.

rate = k[A]n[B]m[C]p …
• The exponents (m, n, p…) are determined by experiment.
• Exponents are not derived from the coefficients in the
balanced chemical equation, though in some instances the
exponents and the coefficients may be the same.
• The value of an exponent in a rate law is the order of the
reaction with respect to the reactant in question.
• The proportionality constant, k, is the rate constant.

More About the Rate Constant k
• The rate of a reaction is the change in
concentration with time, whereas the rate
constant is the proportionality constant
relating reaction rate to the concentrations
of reactants.
• The rate constant remains constant
throughout a reaction, regardless of the
initial concentrations of the reactants.
• The rate and the rate constant have the
same numerical values and units only in

Method of Initial Rates
• The method of initial rates is a method of
establishing the rate law for a reaction—
finding the values of the exponents in the rate
law, and the value of k.
• A series of experiments is performed in which
the initial concentration of one reactant is
varied. Concentrations of the other reactants
are held constant.
• When we double the concentration of a
reactant A, if:

Reaction Mechanisms
Reaction Mechanism
• Most chemical reactions occur by a series
of elementary steps.
• An intermediate is formed in one step and
used up in a subsequent step and thus is
never seen as a product in the overall
balanced reaction.

sequence: slice banana; three scoops ice

• A chemical reaction occurs according to a
reaction mechanism—a series of
collisions or dissociations—that lead from
initial reactants to the final products.

Theories of Chemical Kinetics:
Collision Theory
• Before atoms, molecules, or ions can react,
they must first collide.
• An effective collision between two
molecules puts enough energy into key
bonds to break them.
• The activation energy (Ea) is the minimum
energy that must be supplied by collisions
for a reaction to occur.

Effect of Temperature on
the Rates of Reactions
• In 1889, Svante Arrhenius proposed the
following expression for the effect of
temperature on the rate constant, k:
• k = Ae–Ea/RT
• The constant A, called the frequency factor,
is an expression of collision frequency and
orientation; it represents the number of
collisions per unit time that are capable of
leading to reaction.

Exercise
•
Chemists commonly use a rule of thumb that
an increase of 10 K in temperature doubles the
rate of a reaction. What must the activation
energy be for this statement to be true for a
temperature increase from 25°C to 35°C?
•
Ea = 53 kJ

Catalysis
Catalyst
• A substance that speeds up a reaction
without being consumed itself.
• Provides a new pathway for the reaction
with a lower activation energy.

Catalysis
Heterogeneous Catalyst
• Most often involves gaseous reactants
being adsorbed on the surface of a solid
catalyst.
• Adsorption – collection of one substance
on the surface of another substance.
