Multistep Mechanisms Reaction Rates
• A sequence of intermediate (elementary) reactions leading from overall-reactants
to overall-products
• L steps, i = 1, 2,… L
• N species, j = 1, 2,… N; some are intermediate (not in overall products for reactants)
• Example (forward and reverse reactions)
• R1: 𝐻2 + 𝑂2
• R2: 𝐻 + 𝑂2

• 𝐾𝑃 𝑇 = 𝐾𝐶 𝑇
• Note: If 𝑁𝑅 = 𝑎 + 𝑏 = 𝑐 + 𝑑 = 𝑁𝑃 , then 𝐾𝑃 𝑇 = 𝐾𝐶 𝑇
• So if we know 𝑘𝑓 then we can find 𝑘𝑟 !
𝑐+𝑑−(𝑎+𝑏)
Example 4.2 (page 120, turn in next time)
• In their survey of experimental determinations of rate coefficients for
the N-H-O system, Nanson and Salimian [reference 10 in book]
recommend the following rate coefficient for the reaction
• 𝑁𝑂 + 𝑂 → 𝑁 + 𝑂2 .
• 𝑘𝑓 = 3.80 ∗

𝑔𝑚𝑜𝑙∗𝑠
• These coefficients generally use [cgs] (centimeter, gram, seconds)] units, not [mks]
• Determine the rate coefficient at 2300 K for the reverse reaction, i.e.
• 𝑁 + 𝑂2 → 𝑁𝑂 + 𝑂
Reaction Mechanisms (and approximations)
• Describes concepts used to find global (apparent) rate
• Steady State Approximation
• Slow creation and rapid consumption of radicals cause them to reach steady-state quickly
• Example: Zelovich two-step system
𝑘1
• 𝑂 + 𝑁2 → 𝑁𝑂 + 𝑁
• This is a relatively “slow” reaction, but N is highly reactive and is consumed “as soon as” it is created
𝑘2
• 𝑁 + 𝑂2 → 𝑁𝑂 + 𝑂 (this is the reverse of reaction in last example)
• Very fast consumption of N
• Production – Consumption of N
•
𝑑𝑁

• Since 𝑁 consumption is very fast, 𝑁 reaches steady-state almost right away

• Find

𝑑𝑡
𝑘𝑎𝑝𝑝
= 𝑘𝑎𝑝𝑝 𝐴
• Measurements show that, for uni-molecular reactions
• At high pressures reaction rate is not a function of pressure
• At low pressure, reaction rate increases with pressure
• This can be explained using a “three-step” mechanism
𝑘𝑒
• 𝐴 + 𝑀 → 𝐴∗ + 𝑀 (𝐴∗ is an energized state of 𝐴 and highly reactive)

Hypothetical Chain reactions (example)
• Globally: 𝐴2 + 𝐵2 → 2𝐴𝐵 (𝐴 and 𝐵 are general atoms)
•
𝑑 𝐴𝐵
𝑑𝑡
= 2𝑘𝑎𝑝𝑝 𝐴2 𝐵2
• Proposed intermediate steps
• Slow creation of free radicals 𝐴 (and 𝐵)
𝑘1
• 𝐴2 + 𝑀 → 𝐴 + 𝐴 + 𝑀
• Fast consumption of 𝐴 and 𝐵 (neglect reverse because 𝐴 and 𝐵 are small)
𝑘2
• 𝐴 + 𝐵2 → 𝐴𝐵 + 𝐵
𝑘3
• 𝐵 + 𝐴2 → 𝐴𝐵 + 𝐴
• De-energization ter-molecular reaction is slow
𝑘4
• 𝐴 + 𝐵 + 𝑀 → 𝐴𝐵 + 𝑀
• Assume 𝑘2 and 𝑘3 are much greater than 𝑘1 and 𝑘4
