and reaction order from experimental data
• Use integrated rate laws• Discuss collision theory and the role of

• We can use thermodynamics to tell if a reaction is product- or reactant-favored.
• But this gives us no info on HOW FAST reaction goes from reactants to products.
• KINETICS — the study of REACTION RATES and their relation to the way the reaction proceeds, i.e., its MECHANISM.

Reaction Mechanisms• A reaction mechanism is a
sequence of events at the molecular level that control the speed and outcome of a reaction.
• The reaction mechanism is our goal!

• Reaction rate = change in concentration of a reactant or product with time.
• Three “types” of rates –initial rate–average rate–instantaneous rate
Reaction Rates Section 12.1

Factors Affecting Reaction Rates• Physical State of the Reactants
– Gas, liquid or solid – how molecules are able to interact with each other
– Solids react faster when surface area is greater so fine powders react faster than big chunks
• Concentration of Reactants– As the concentration of reactants increases, so does the
likelihood that reactant molecules will collide.
• Temperature– At higher temperatures, reactant molecules have more kinetic
energy, move faster, and collide more often and with greater energy.
• Catalysts– Speed up reaction by changing mechanism.– Catalysts don’t get used up themselves

Reaction Rates
The average rate of the reaction over each interval is the change in concentration divided by the change in time:

Average Rate, M/s

Reaction Rates
• Note that the average rate decreases as the reaction proceeds.
• This is because as the reaction goes forward, there are fewer collisions between reactant molecules.

Reaction Rates
• A plot of concentration vs. time for this reaction yields a curve like this.
• The slope of a line tangent to the curve at any point is the instantaneous rate at that time.

Reaction Rates and Stoichiometry
• In this reaction, the ratio of C4H9Cl to C4H9OH is 1:1.
• Thus, the rate of disappearance of C4H9Cl is the same as the rate of appearance of C4H9OH.

Reaction Rates and Stoichiometry• What if the ratio is not 1:1?
2NO2(g) 2NO(g) + O2(g)
• 2NO can be made from 2NO2 consumed, but only 1 O2 is produced.
Read as: the rate of consumption of NO2 is the same as the rate of production of NO. This is because their coefficients are the same.
20

Reaction RatesBut since the coefficient for oxygen is ½ of the other two, it’s rate is of production rate is half as fast. Or 2 x rate O2 = rate of NO

Concentrations & Rates
Rate of reaction is proportional to [NO2]
We express this as a RATE LAW
Rate of reaction = k [NO2]n
where k = rate constant
k is independent of conc. but increases with T
n is the order of the reactant
2NO2(g) 2NO(g) + O2(g)

Concentrations, Rates, & Rate Laws
In general, for
a A + b B x X with a catalyst C
Rate = k [A]m[B]n[C]p
The exponents m, n, and p:
• sum of m, n and p are the reaction order
• can be 0, 1, 2 or fractions like 3/2
• must be determined by experiment! They are not simply related to stoichiometry!

Ch. 12.3 - Interpreting Rate Laws Determining Rate by inspection (quick method):
Rate = k [A]m[B]n[C]p
• If m = 1, rxn. is 1st order in A
Rate = k [A]1
If [A] doubles, then rate goes up by factor of _2_ • If m = 2, rxn. is 2nd order in A.
Rate = k [A]2
Doubling [A] increases rate by ___4_____• If m = 0, rxn. is zero order.
Rate = k [A]0
If [A] doubles, rate _Stays the same_
26

The method of Initial Rates
• This method requires that a reaction be run several times.
• The initial concentrations of the reactants are varied.
• The reaction rate is measured just after the reactants are mixed.
• Eliminates the effect of the reverse reaction.

Deriving Rate Laws
Determination of Rate by inspection:
Here the rate goes up by __4___ when initial conc. doubles. Therefore, we say this reaction is ________2nd_________ order.
So, the Rate of rxn = k [CH3CHO]2
Now determine the value of k. Use expt. #3 data—
0.182 mol/L•s = k (0.30 mol/L)2
k = 2.0 (L / mol•s)Using k you can calc. rate at other values of [CH3CHO] at same T.

Solution
[A] / [A]0 = fraction remaining
when t = t1/2 then fraction remaining = _______
Therefore, ln (1/2) = - k · t1/2
- 0.693 = - k · t1/2
t1/2 = 0.693 / kSo, for sugar,

Reaction Mechanisms
• The molecularity of a process tells how many molecules are involved in the process.
• The rate law for an elementary step is written directly from that step.
59
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
Reaction Mechanisms• If a reaction is an elementary step,
then we know its rate law.• All of the molecules involved in an
elementary step are defined in the rate law.
• The full molecularity has to be included.
• The sum of the elementary steps in a mechanism must give the overall balanced equation for the reaction.
60

Molecularity Example• Given the reactions and their rate
laws below, which is the only one that can be an elementary step?
A) 2A P Rate = k[A]B) A + B P Rate = k[A][B]C) A + 2B P Rate = k[A]2
D) A + B + C P Rate = k[A][C]

Proposed Mechanism
Step 1 — slow HOOH + I- HOI + OH-
Step 2 — fast HOI + I- I2 + OH-

Rate of the reaction controlled by slow step —
RATE DETERMINING STEP, rds.
Rate can be no faster than rds!
Most rxns. involve a sequence of elementary steps. 2 I- + H2O2 + 2 H+ I2 + 2 H2O

Two possible mechanisms
Two steps: step 1
Two steps: step 2
65
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
Slow Initial Step
• The rate law for this reaction is found experimentally to be
Rate = k [NO2]2
• CO is necessary for this reaction to occur, but the rate of the reaction does not depend on its concentration.
• This suggests the reaction occurs in two steps.
NO2 (g) + CO (g) NO (g) + CO2 (g)
66
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
Slow Initial Step• A proposed mechanism for this reaction is
Step 1: NO2 + NO2 NO3 + NO (slow)
Step 2: NO3 + CO NO2 + CO2 (fast)
• The NO3 intermediate is consumed in the second step.
• As CO is not involved in the slow, rate-determining step, it
does not appear in the rate law.
67
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
Fast Initial Step
• The rate law for this reaction is found (experimentally) to be
• Because termolecular (aka trimolecular) processes are rare, this rate law suggests a two-step mechanism.
67
68
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
Fast Initial Step• A proposed mechanism is
Step 1 is an equilibrium- it includes the forward and reverse reactions.
69
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
Fast Initial Step
• The rate of the overall reaction depends upon the rate of the slow step.
• The rate law for that step would be
• But how can we find [NOBr2]?
70
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
Intermediates• [NOBr2] is an intermediate, an unstable
molecule of low, unknown concentration
• Intermediates can’t appear in the rate law.
• Remember: only reactants (and products, rarely) can appear in a rate law.
• Slow step determines the rate and the rate law.
71
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
Intermediates• Use the reactions that form them• If the reactions are fast and
irreversible the concentration of the intermediate is based on stoichiometry.
• If it is formed by a reversible reaction set the rates equal to each other.
72
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
Fast Initial Step
• NOBr2 can react two ways:– With NO to form NOBr– By decomposition to reform NO and Br2
• The reactants and products of the first step are in equilibrium with each other.
• Therefore,
Ratef = Rater
73
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
Fast Initial Step
• Because Ratef = Rater ,
k1 [NO] [Br2] = k−1 [NOBr2]
Solving for [NOBr2] gives us
k1/k-1 [NO] [Br2] = [NOBr2]
74

Fast Initial Step
Substituting this expression for [NOBr2] in the rate law for the rate-determining step gives

Activation Energy and Temperature
Reactions are faster at higher T because a larger
fraction of reactant molecules have enough energy to
convert to product molecules.
In general, differences in activation energy cause reactions to vary from fast to slow.

Mechanisms
1. Why is trans-butene cis-butene reaction observed to be 1st order?
As [trans] doubles, number of molecules with enough E also doubles.
2. Why is the trans cis reaction faster at higher temperature?
Fraction of molecules with sufficient activation energy increases with T.

Arrhenius Equation Example
2nd Step find the slope (If not using graphing calculator or excel)
Slope = (-5.757 – (-9.855))/(0.001907 – 0.002118) = 4.098/(-0.000211) = -19422 K3rd Step Multiply the slope by -8.314 J/mol K
to get Ea
= -19422 s-1 * -8.314 J/mol K = 161472 J = 161 kJ
