According to collision theory, a chemical reaction occurs when the reacting particles collide with one another.
Only a fraction of collisions between particles result in a chemical reaction because certain criteria must be met.
Chapter 6: Rates of Reaction
![Page 16: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Effective Collision Criteria 2:Sufficient Activation Energy
TO PREVIOUS SLIDE
The shaded part of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution curve represents the fraction of particles that have enough collision energy for a reaction (ie the energy is ≥ Ea).
Chapter 6: Rates of Reaction
For a chemical reaction, reactant molecules must also collide with sufficient energy.
Activation energy, Ea, is the minimum amount of collision energy required to initiate a chemical reaction.
Collision energy depends on the kinetic energy of the colliding particles.

4. Pressure
• for gaseous reactants, the number of collisions in a certain time interval increases with increased pressure
5. Surface area
• a greater exposed surface area of solid reactant means a greater chance of effective collisions
6. Presence of a catalyst
• a catalyst is a substance that increases a reaction rate without being consumed by the reaction
![Page 26: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
UNIT 3 Section 6.2
A Catalyst Influences the Reaction Rate
TO PREVIOUS SLIDE
A catalyst lowers the Ea of a reaction.
• this increases the fraction of reactants that have enough kinetic energy to overcome the activation energy barrier
• a catalyzed reaction has the same reactants, products, and enthalpy change as the uncatalyzed reaction
A catalyst decreases both Ea(fwd) and Ea(rev).

Initial rate is found by determining the slope of a line tangent to the curve at time zero.
Chapter 6: Rates of Reaction
Initial rate is the rate of a chemical reaction at time zero.
• products of the reaction are not present, so the reverse reaction cannot occur
• it is a more accurate method for studying the relationship between concentration of reactant and reaction rate

UNIT 3 Section 6.3
Graphing Reaction Rate in Terms of Concentration
TO PREVIOUS SLIDE
To study the effects of concentration on reaction rate:
• different starting concentrations of reactant are used
• initial rates are calculated using the slopes of the tangent lines from concentration vs time curves
• initial rates are plotted against starting concentration
Chapter 6: Rates of Reaction
Initial rates are determined (A) and these are plotted against concentration (B).
![Page 33: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
UNIT 3 Section 6.3
First-order Reactions
TO PREVIOUS SLIDE
The initial rate vs starting concentration graph on the previous slide is a straight line.
Chapter 6: Rates of Reaction
• the equation of the line can be expressed as:
rate = k[A]
• This represents a first-order reaction
For reactions with more than one reactant (e.g. A and B):• if experiments for each reactant produce straight lines,
the rate is “first order with respect to reactant A and first order with respect to reactant B.”
![Page 34: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Example1:
The empirically determined rate law equation for the reaction
between nitrogen dioxide and fluorine gas :
2NO2 + F2 → 2NO2F
r = K[NO2]1[F2]1
The order of reaction with respect to NO2, F2 is 1 respectively.
the overall order of reaction is (1 + 1) = 2 ( The reaction is second order overall)
![Page 35: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Example 2:
The discomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide is first order with respect to N2O5. If the initial rate of consumption is 2.1 x 10-4 mol/(L*s)
when the initial concentration of N2O5 is 0.40 mol/L. Predict what the rate would be if another experiment were performed in which the initial concentration of N2O5 were 0.80 mol/L
2N2O5 → 2NO2 +O2
![Page 36: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Solution:
First: write the rate law equation for the system:
r = K[N2O5]1 (first order reaction, so exponent is 1)
r = 0.8 mol/L = x
0.4 mol/L 2.1 x 10-4mol/(L*s)
Since it is first order, any change in [N2O5] will have the same effect
on the rate. The [N2O5] is doubled from 0.4 to 0.8 mol/L, so the rate
of consumption will double from 2x (2.1 x 10-4) to 4.2 x 10-4
mol/(L*s)
![Page 37: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
UNIT 3 Section 6.3
Second-order Reactions
TO PREVIOUS SLIDE
For chlorine dioxide in this reaction:
• the initial rate vs concentration curve is parabolic
• the reaction is proportional to the square of [ClO2]
• it is a second order reaction with respect to this reactant
Chapter 6: Rates of Reaction
rate = k[A]2
![Page 38: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Example 3:
The dimerization reaction of 1,3-butadiene (C4H6) is a second
order with respect to C4H6. If the initial rate of reaction were
32 mmol/(L*min) C4H6 at a given initial concentration of C4H6,.
What would be the initial rate of reaction if the initial
concentration of C4H6 were doubled
2C4H6 → C8H12
![Page 39: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Solution:
The rate equation is r = K[C4H6]2 (let x be the initial concentration)
x = 32
2x2
If the initial concentration is doubled (multiplied by 2), the initial
rate will be multiplied by 22, or 4. The new rate is 4 x 32 mmol
C4H6/(L*min) or 0.13 mol /(L*min) C4H6
![Page 40: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
DETERMINATION OF EXPONENT OF THE RATE LAW
The exponents of the Rate Law must be determined
experimentally. To find the exponent of the rate law, we must
study how changes in concentration affect the rate of reaction.
Example: -
[A]+ B → products
Rate = k[A]m[B]n
![Page 41: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
DETERMINATION OF EXPONENT OF THE RATE LAW
The exponents of the Rate
Law must be determined
experimentally by study
how changes in
Concentration affect the
Rate of reaction.
Example: -
A + B → products
Rate = k[A]m[B]n
Example: Experimental DataInitial Concentration Initial rate of formation
of products
[A] [B]
1. 0.10 0.10 0.20
2. 0.20 0.10 0.40
3. 0.30 0.10 0.60
4. 0.30 0.20 2.40
5. 0.30 0.30 5.40 To determine the value of m, we use the results from Exp.# 1 and 2 or 3, in which only [A] changes: rate 2 = 0.4 mol/L.s =k(0.2 mol/L)m
rate 1 0.2 mol/L.s k(0.1mol/L)m
2.0 = (2.0)m
![Page 42: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Meaning, if [A] is doubled the rate doubles (#1 & 2). Also, if [A] is tripled (#1 &3), the rate is tripled .Therefore, the exponent of A must be 1 ie [A]1
To determine n, we use the results from Exp. #3 and 4 or 5, in which only [B] changes: This time it is the concentration of B that affects the rate
rate 4 = 2.4 mol/L.s = k(0.20 mol/L)n rate 3 0.6 mol/L.s K(0.10 mol/L)n
n
4 = 2
When [B] is doubled the rate increases by factor of 4 which equals 22

![Page 46: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Solution:The general form of the rate law for this reaction:Rate = K[NO]m[H2]n
To determine m, use result where only NO changes: Rate 3 = 5.47x10-3 mol/L*s= 0.20 mol/L Rate 1 1.37 x 10-3mol/L 0.10 mol/L 4 = [2]n, ie [2]2 , Thus m = 2
To determine n, use result where only [H2] changes: Rate 2 = 2.75x10-3 mol/L*s= 0.20 mol/L Rate 1 1.37 x 10-3mol/L 0.10 mol/L 2.0 = [2]n, ie [2]1 , Thus m = 1
Therefore, r = k[NO]2[H2]1
![Page 47: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Using trial # 1, find k0.00137 mol/L.s = k x 0.100 mol/L x (0.100 mol/L)2
k = 0.00137 mol/L.s = 1.37 L2/mol2.s 0.100 mol/L x (0.100 mol/L)2
r = 1.37 L2/(mol2.s)[NO]2[H2]
Note: Monitor the Unit of the rate constant, K, closely as it varies with different order of reactions

UNIT 3 Section 6.3
6.6: Reaction Mechanisms
TO PREVIOUS SLIDE
A reaction mechanism is the series of elementary steps that occur as reactants are converted to products.
Chapter 6: Rates of Reaction
For example, oxygen and nitrogen are not formed directly from the decomposition of nitrogen dioxide:
It occurs in two elementary steps:
![Page 49: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
A balanced equation does not tell us how the reactants become product, it only tells us the reactant, the product, and the stoichiometry, but gives no information about the reaction mechanism.
O is an intermediate, it is neither a reactant nor a product, but formed and consumed during the reaction sequence.
Each of the two reactions is called an elementary step, a reaction whose rate law can be written from its molecules.
A reaction with one molecule is called a unimolecular step, two or three molecules are called bimolecular and termolecular steps respectively
![Page 50: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
A unimolecular step is always first order,bimolecular, second order Termolecular steps are uncommon
Elementary step Molecularity Rate law
A → Product Unimolecular Rate = [A]A + A → Products Bimolecular Rate = [A]2
A + B → Products Bimolecular Rate = [A][B]
a reaction mechanism must satisfy two requirements:
1.The sum of the elementary steps must give the overall balanced equation for the reaction2. The mechanism must agree with the experimentally determined rate law.
![Page 51: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
UNIT 3 Section 6.3
The Rate-determining Stepthe slowest of the elementary steps in a complex
reaction is called the rate-determining step.
TO PREVIOUS SLIDE
This reaction occurs in three elementary steps:
Chapter 6: Rates of Reaction
Step 2 is the rate-determining step:• it is the slowest elementary step• the overall rate of the reaction is dependent on this step• the Ea for this step is higher than Ea for each of the other steps

UNIT 3 Section 6.3
A Proposed Reaction Mechanism
TO PREVIOUS SLIDE
• Experiments show that this reaction is zero order with respect to OH– (i.e. its rate does not depend on [OH–])
• This can be explained by a two-step mechanism
Step 2 is very fast and depends on completion of Step 1, not on the concentration of OH–.

![Page 55: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Example:The balanced equation for a reaction of the gases nitrogen dioxide and fluorine is
2NO2(g) + F2(g) → 2NO2F(g)
Experimentally determined rate law is
Rate = k[NO2][F2]
The suggested mechanism for this reaction is:
NO2 + F2 → NO2F + F slow
F + NO2 → NO2F fast
Is this an acceptable mechanism?
Does it satisfy the requirements for reaction mechanism?
1. The sum of the elementary steps must give the overall balanced equation for the reaction
2. The mechanism must agree with the experimentally determined rate law.
3. The reactant (s) of the slowest reaction gives the rate law equation.
![Page 56: UNIT 3: Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814ab3550346895db7c699/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Solution:
First:The sum of the steps should give the balanced equationNO2 + F2 → NO2F + F
F + NO2 → NO2F ___________________
NO2 + F2 + F + NO2 →NO2F + F + NO2F
Overall reaction : 2NO2 + F2 → 2NO2F
Second: Mechanism must agree with the experimentally determine rate. Since the first step is the slowest (the rate determining step), it must determine the reaction rate
Rate = k[NO2][F2]
