A → B

  • Rate of disappearance of A = -d[A] /dt
  • Rate of formation of B = +d[B] /dt
  • d[A] = change in concentration of A over time period dt
  • Because [A] decreases with time, d[A] is negative.
  • d[B] = change in concentration of B over time period dt

Effect of concentration

When concentration of reactant increases rate of reaction increases

Rate Law

Rate of a reaction is directly proportional to concentration of reactants raised to some power

Which may or may not be same as stoichiometric coefficient of reactants in a balanced chemical equation.

Rate = k[A]x[B]y

For a reaction:

k is called rate constant

•A reaction is zero order in a reactant if the change in concentration of that reactant produces no effect.

• A reaction is 1st order if doubling the concentration causes the rate to double.

• A reaction is 2nd order if doubling the concentration causes a quadruple increase in rate.

The conversion of molecules X to Y follows second order kinetics. If concentration of X is increased to three times how will it affect the rate

of formation of Y?

X→ Y follows second order kinetics

r =k [X] 2

Molecularity of a reaction is simply the number of reacting species (atoms, ions or molecules) involved in an elementary reaction which must collide simultaneously.

Molecularity

33 of 73

  • Bimolecular reactions involve simultaneous collision between two species,

e.g. dissociation of hydrogen iodide.

2HI → H2 + I2

  • Trimolecular or termolecular reactions involve simultaneous collision between three reacting species

e.g. 2NO + O2 → 2NO2

Molecularity….

34

Why the reactions having molecularity greater than three rare ?

Since the chances of collision and reaction of more than three molecules at a time are very less, the molecularity greater than three is rare.

Definition:

Multistep reactions where products are obtained after completion of a sequence of elementary reactions

*

35

Complex reactions

  • Molecularity of a complex reaction has no meaning.
  • The slowest step or slowest reaction determines the rate of the reaction

  • molecularity of the slowest elementary reaction of a complex reaction similar to the overall order of the complex reaction.

The first step being slow, is the rate determining

step ,therefore order is two

Integrated Rate Equations

Equation obtained by integrating the differential rate equation to give a relation between directly measured experimental data, i.e., concentrations at different times and rate constant is called integrated rate equation.

Integrating both sides

[R] = – k t + I

where, I is the constant of integration.

At t = 0, the concentration of the reactant [R]=[R]o

where [R]o is initial concentration of the reactant.

Substituting in equation )

[R] = –k × 0 + I ]

[R]o=1

Substituting the value of I in the equation )

[R] = -kt + [R]0

The temperature dependence on the rate of a

chemical reaction can be accurately explained by Arrhenius equation

Temperature dependence of the rate of reaction:

For a chemical reaction with rise in temperature by 10°

the rate constant is nearly doubled.

T –temperature

R-universal gas constant

The time taken for half of the original amount of material to decompose is 12 min at 500C, 5 h at 250C and 10 days at 00C

Transition State Theory

According to Arrhenius, reaction takes place through formation of unstable Intermediate called activated complex which exist for short time and then breaks up to form product.

The energy needed to form activated complex is called energy of activation. It is very low for some reactions and very high for others.

  • Ea is always positive.

  • The larger the value of Ea, the slower the rate of a reaction at a given temperature.

Activation energy (Ea)

61 of 73

*

61

Increasing the temperature of the substance increases the fraction of molecules, which collide with energies greater than Ea.

62 of 73

*

62

It is clear from the diagram that in the curve at (t + 10), the area showing the fraction of molecules having energy equal to or greater than activation energy gets doubled leading to doubling the rate of a reaction.

63 of 73

63

For a chemical reaction with rise in temperature by 10°, the rate constant is nearly doubled

The ratio is called the temperature

coefficient and its value is 2 or 3

Arrhenius Equation

k = A e-Ea /RT

e-Ea /RT = Fraction of molecule having K.E. > Ea

Natural logarithm of Arrhenius equation gives

Plot of ln k vs 1/T is straight line shows that increasing the temperature or decreasing the activation energy will

result in an increase in the rate of the reaction and an exponential

increase in the rate constant.

Collision theory

Rate = ZABe-Ea/RT

The reactant molecules are assumed to be hard spheres

Reaction occurs when molecules collide with each other.

Z AB the number of collisions per second per unit volume of the reaction mixture.

e-Ea /RT the fraction of molecules with energies equal to or greater than Ea.

The proper orientation of reactant molecules lead to bond formation

Improper orientation makes them simply bounce back

and no products are formed.

Collision theory…

Rate = PZAB e-Ea/RT

In collision theory activation energy and proper orientation of the molecules together determine the criteria for an effective collision and hence the rate of a chemical reaction.

By considering orientation factor

P=steric factor or probability factor
