5.1 Rate of reaction
1. Chemical kinetics is the area of chemistry concerned with thespeeds, or rates, at which a chemical reaction occurs.
Kinetics, in this case is referring to the rate of a reaction,
which is the change in the concentration of a reactant or a
product with time. Generally, rate of reaction is inverselyproportional with time, therefore, longer the time taken for a
reaction to occur, lower the rate of reaction
2. Generally in chemical reactionReactants Products

5.1.1 Theory of Reaction Rates
Collision Theory use to explain the effects ofconcentration and temperature on rate ofreaction.
Base on 3 main ideas
Molecules must collide to react
Molecules must collide at the minimum amount ofenergy called activation energy.

Theory use to explain the effects of concentration and
temperature on rate of reaction.
Molecule must collide to react
In order for a reaction to occur, there must be physical interactionsthat take place, where the molecules are able to collide with each
other and form a chemical reaction. Rate of collision is directly
influenced by the following factors :
Molecule must collide to react
Concentration : As the concentration of particles increased,frequency of collision occur more rapidly. This will increase the
chances of effective collision and hence increase the rate of
reaction. From the diagram below, we can see that, as the number
of particles increase with concentration hence increase thefrequency of collision between particles. the frequency of collision
increase significantly from (a) < (b) < (c) as the number of particles
increase

Temperature : When temperature
increase, particles absorbed theenergy supplied and stored in theform of kinetic energy. Particleswith higher kinetic energy canmove faster, and hence has ahigher frequency of collisionbetween particles. Furthermore
higher kinetic energy allows moreparticles to have energy higherthan the activation energy, henceincrease the rate of reaction.

Molecule must collide in the right orientation inorder to form the right product.
Consider the following reaction occurs.2 AB A2 + 2 B.
For the reaction to take place, when the molecules
collide, it must collide under the correct way, inorder for that particular reaction to happen
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
12/85
If the molecules collide at a wrong orientationor position is not correct, the reaction will not
occur, as illustrated in the 2 diagrams below
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
13/85
Molecule must possessed certain amount ofkinetic energy called activation energy
Even if the 2 conditions above is fulfilled themolecules collide as in (a) ; it is collided in theright orientation as in (b), does it mean, thereaction will occur?
Note the diagram belowDiagram of collision with the
correct orientation. Note that,
even though it collides with theright orientation, the reaction
does not occur. This is due to
the collision is too gently, and
does not have the enoughenergy to react. So, this
minimum required for the
reaction to happened is calledactivation energy
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
14/85
Activation energy is defined as ...
So, in order for a reaction to take place, there mustbe a certain amount of energy absorbed in order forthe molecules which collide at the right orientationto happen.
As discussed durin Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution
minimum amount ofenergy required to initiate a chemical reaction
graph, when temperature increase, more particleshas energy higher than activation energy, and thiswill increase the rate of reaction.
Activation is always endothermic, as heat isrequired in order for molecule to collide effectivelyand form a new compound.
The energy profile bellow shows the reaction
of both endothermic and exothermic reaction

Theory of transition state
Theory of transition state explained the process that takeplace during a chemical reaction.
Supposedly the reaction of BC + A C + AB is a one
step reaction where it can be described as
A + B C [A---B---C] AB + C
The height of the "barrier" in the
beginning of the graph is called the
activation energy, and theconfiguration of atoms at the
maximum in the potential energy
profile is called the transition state,
or the activated complex. In anotherwords, A--B--C formed is an activated
complex where it usually exist as an
intermediate of a chemical reaction, a
substance that appear during areaction but will not form as products

5.2 Rate law, Order of reactions and rate constants
1. From what we had learn so far, we know that concentration isdirectly proportional to rate of reaction where
rate [concentration] ; rate = k [concentration]
The equation bolded is also known as rate equation, (also known
as rate law) a way to expresses the relationship of the rate of areaction to the rate constant and the concentrations of thereactants raised to some powers. Rate constant, k, in the otherhand, is the proportionality constant of a given chemical reaction.
2. Supposedly if a chemical reaction take placed as shown in theequation below
a A (aq) + b B (aq) c C (aq) + d D (g)
The rate equation for the reaction is expressed by
k = rate constant[A] and [B] = concentration of A and B
x and y = order of reaction withrespect to concentration of A and B
rate = k [A]x[B]y
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
20/85
a) Only the concentration of reactants is taken into consideration
of rate of reaction, as the speed of the reaction largely depend
on the amount and concentration of reactants used in theprocess. Generally, greater the amount (concentration) of
reactant used, greater the rate of reaction
rate = k [A]x[B]y
b) Rate constant, k, is the proportionality constant of thereaction, in which the value remain constant under constant
temperature, regardless of the changes in concentration of
the reactants take place. However, rate constant changes
with temperature of the reaction
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
21/85
c) order of reaction, x and y, is the power to which the
concentration of the reactants (in this case, [A] and [B]
respectively) is raised to in the rate equation.
i. Note that the order of reaction has no relationship with the
stoichiometry coefficient of the chemical equation. Therefore,
rate = k [A]x[B]y
.
ii. Order of reaction can only be determined from series ofexperiments carried out under different concentration.
iii. The overall order of reaction can be calculated by summing
up the order of reaction for each reactant involved. In thiscase.
Overall order = x + y
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
22/85
d) Once the overall order of reaction is known, the rate constantcan be calculated accordingly by substituting the concentration
and order of reaction towards the rate of each experiment. Unit
of rate constant depend largely on the overall order of reaction.
Overall reaction
orderExample Unit of rate constant, k
= 0(mol dm-3 s-1) = k (mol dm-3)0
k = mol dm-3 s-1
First order rate = k [A](mol dm-3 s-1) = k (mol dm-3)1
k = s-1
Second order rate = k [A][B](mol dm-3 s-1) = k (mol dm-3)2
k = mol-1 dm3 s-1
Third order Rate = k [A][B]2(mol dm-3 s-1) = k (mol dm-3)3
k = mol-2 dm6 s-1
Fifth order Rate = k [A][B]2[C]2(mol dm-3 s-1) = k (mol dm-3)5
k = mol-4 dm12 s-1

chemical reaction, where

c is a constant which can be determined when time, t = 0 (initial
time), c = ln [A]. Usually, it is indicated as ln [A]0, since it is the initial
concentration of the reaction. As a result, the equation that can be

5.2.2 Second order of reaction
1. A second-order reaction is a reaction whose rate depends on theconcentration of one reactant raised to the second power or on the
concentrations of two different reactants, each raised to the first power.
A + B products
Rate equation for a second order reaction can be either :rate = k [A]2 or rate = k [B]2 or rate = k [A][B]

3. For a zero order of reaction, since the graph of concentrationagainst time is linear, therefore, it is impractical to determine
the half-life of zero order using practical methods. In fact, the
linear shape of the graph itself has proven that the reaction is
zero order with respect to the reactant involved.a) Though, the half-life of zero order reaction can be calculated

The rate equation, expressed in general form, is

Note that the order of reaction cannot be determined directly
from the stoichiometry of the reaction. To find out the orders
of reactant with respect to each O2 and NO, we run series of
experiments, starting each one with a different set of reactant
concentrations and obtaining an initial rate in each case.

a) From the reaction, the rate equation can be written as
rate = k [CH3CH2Br]x [KOH]y
Therefore, to determine the order of reaction with respect to
CH3CH2Br, the half-life method is applied, since the graph of
concentration of CH3CH2Br against time are plottedaccordingly, while the order of reaction with respect to KOH
can be obtained usin initial rate methods where the initial
rate for both [CH3CH2Br] under different concentration of KOHcan be found hence calculated.
b) By the mean of half-life method, the first t1/2, second t1/2 and
third t1/2 of the concentration of CH3CH2Br under the
concentration of KOH 0.15 mol dm-3 occurred at 80 s, 160 sand 240 s. Since the 1st t1/2 = 2
nd t1/2 = 3rd t1/2 = 80 s, therefore
the order of reaction with respect to CH3CH2Br is first order of
reaction.

1. Chemical reactions may occur in one way reaction or a
reversible reaction. Example of a one way reaction, is the
formation of nitrogen dioxide via the reaction of nitrogenmonoxide and oxygen gas
2 NO (g) + O2 (g) 2 NO2 (g)
(symbolised one way reaction)
While the example of a reversible reaction as in production of
ammonia from nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas, which is
largely used in industrial process via Haber process.

involve in steps that required higher activation energies. For
example, in the reaction stated above where

a) In the process of the formation of nitrogen dioxide, N2O2 is formedtemporary, but it will not exist as a product in the end of reaction.
Therefore, N2O2 is also known as intermediate, a substance that
appear in the mechanism of the reaction but not in the overall
balanced equation.b) For each step of reaction, the rate equation can be described
accordingly
From the rate equation proposed for each step in the series of
mechanism proposed the order of reaction can be determinedstraight forward by the stoichiometry coefficient. From the
mechanism equation in step 1, order of reaction is second order
with respect to NO, while in step 2, order of reaction is first order
with respect to each N2O2 and O2 respectively.

the word "slow" and "fast", which can be interpreted as a slow
step of reaction, and a fast step of reaction. In determining the
order with respect of each reactant involved, we can make use

5.3 The effect of temperature on reaction kinetics
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
57/85
1. Temperature often has a major effect on reaction rate. Ingeneral, increasing the temperature of a reaction increases
the average speed of particles and therefore their frequency
of collisions.
a) Arrhenius proposed that every reaction has an energy
threshold that the colliding molecules must exceed in order to
.
(EA), the energy required to activate the molecules into a statefrom which reactant bonds can change into product bonds.
b) Many of the chemical reactions near room temperature
approximately double their rates with a 10
0
C rise intemperature.
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
58/85
2. The effect of temperature towards the rate of reaction can befurther explained using Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution graph.
From the graph obtained, particles at 800 K have move collision
energy compared to particles at 300 K. This is due to, as thekinetic energy increased, particles moved faster and moreparticles collides more frequently hence increased the collisionenergy. Therefore, more particles have energy greater than
activation energy, and results higher rate of reaction.
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
59/85
3. Generally, the rate of reaction increased with temperature as it
affect the rate by increased the rate constant of the reaction. The
dependence of the rate constant of a reaction on temperature can
be expressed by using Arrhenius equation.
k = rate constantA = Arrhenius constant
T = tem eratureEA
Arrhenius equation shows that the rate constant is directly
proportional to A and, therefore, to the collision frequency. Inaddition, because of the minus sign associated with the exponent
EA/RT, the rate constant decreases with increasing activation
energy and increases with increasing temperature
EA = activation energyR = gas constant (8.31 J mol-1 K-1)e=

5.4 The role of catalysts in reactions
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
65/85
1. A catalyst is a substance which alter the rate of reactionwithout changing its chemical composition. Therefore the
chemical formula will remain the same after the reaction
occur. In most of the chemical reactions, a catalyst is usually
added to speed up the reaction (increase the rate of
reaction), however, the quantity of catalyst used was only in
,
significantly increase the rate of reaction.2. A catalyst works by providing an alternative pathway for a
chemical reaction to take place, which required a lower
activation energy. However, it will not affect the enthalpy
change (H) of a chemical reaction.

reaction between manganate (VII) ions, MnO4- and ethanedioate
ions, C2O42- in the presence of sulphuric acid, H2SO4 :
2 MnO4- + 5 C2O42- + 16 H+ 2 Mn2+ + 10 CO2 + 8 H2O

etween a gaseous or iqui reactants. e s a stu y speci ic
examples of heterogeneous catalyst, which are Haber Process, OstwaldProcess, Contact Process and Catalytic converter use in automobileexhaust.
5.8.1.1 Haber Process
Ammonia is an extremely valuable inorganic substance used in the fertilizeri d t th f t f l i d th li ti
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
71/85
industry, the manufacture of explosives, and many other applications
The main ingredients use to synthesis ammonia are nitrogen (which can be obtainedthrough fractional distillation of liquefied air) and hydrogen (which can be obtainedeither from syn gas [C + H2O] or petroleum refining process)
In heterogeneous catalysis, the surface of the solid catalyst is usually the site of thereaction. The initial step in the Haber process involves the dissociation of N2 and H2on the metal surface.
Although the dissociated species are not truly free atoms because they are bonded to
the metal surface, they are highly reactive. The highly reactive N and H atoms combine rapidly at high temperatures to
produce NH3 molecules

5.8.1.2 Ostwald Process
Nitric acid is one of the most important inorganic acids. It is used in the productionof fertili ers d es drugs and e plosi es The major industrial method of producing

73/85
of fertilizers, dyes, drugs, and explosives. The major industrial method of producingnitric acid is the Ostwald process. The starting materials, ammonia and molecularoxygen, are heated in the presence of a platinum-rhodium catalyst to 8500C
Step 1
This step is the crucial step as it will determine the yield of nitric acid formed. Therest of the steps do not require catalysis and will occur at high temperature
Step 2 :The nitric oxide readily oxidizes (without catalysis) to nitrogen dioxide:
2 NO(g) + O2
(g) 2 NO2
(g)
Step 3 :When dissolved in water, NO2 forms both nitrous acid and nitric acid:
2 NO2 (g) + H2O (l) HNO2 (aq) + HNO3 (aq)
On heating, nitrous acid (HNO2) is converted to nitric acid as follows:
3 HNO2 (aq) HNO3 (aq) + H2O (l) + 2 NO (g)
The NO generated can be recycled to produce NO2 in the second step
5.8.1.3 Contact Process
Sulphuric acid is one of the most widely use inorganic acids. Contact processis still preferable even today to synthesise high concentration of sulphuric
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf

is still preferable, even today, to synthesise high concentration of sulphuricacid. The following are steps in manufacturing sulphuric acid, starting fromheating sulphur with oxygen.
Step 1 : S (g) + O2 (g) SO2 (g)
After sulphur dioxide is formed and filtered, it was further oxidised to formsulphur trioxide, using vanadium (V) oxide, V2O5, as catalyst. This step iscrucial as it will influence the amount of H2SO4 formed.
Step 2
V2O5 catalyst serve as the active site and provide an alternative solution forthe formation of SO3.

5.8.1.4 Catalytic converter
At high temperatures inside a running cars engine, nitrogen and oxygen
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
76/85
gases react to form nitric oxide N2 (g) + O2 (g) 2 NO (g)
*Note that this reaction occur only when the engine is very hot. This is
due to nitrogen gas, NN has a short and strong triple bond, with a highbond energy. So, high amount of heat is required to break the bond.
Another phenomenon which caused the same reaction are when air is
surrounded by lightning.
When released into the atmosphere, NO rapidly combines with O2 to formNO2. Nitrogen dioxide and other gases emitted by an automobile, such ascarbon monoxide (CO) and various unburned hydrocarbons (CxHy), make
automobile exhaust a major source of air pollution To overcome these problem, most of cars nowadays are equipped with
catalytic converter, which contain platinum-rhodium catalyst and copper(II) oxide + chromium (III) oxide as co-catalyst
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
77/85
An efficient catalytic converter serves two purposes: It oxidizes CO and
2 2 , 2 2
and O2.Oxidation : CO (g) + 1/2 O2 (g) CO2 (g)
Oxidation : CxHy + (x + y/4) O2 (g) x CO2 (g) + y/2 H2O (g)
Reduction : NOx (g) 1/2 N2 (g) + x/2 O2 (g) The suitable catalyst use is platinum / rhodium (use to oxidise CO and
CxHy) based catalyst doped with copper (II) oxide or chromium (III) oxide(use to reduce NOx). Because the catalyst serve these 3 purposes, sometimeit is also referred as three-way catalyst

5.8.2 Homogeneous catalyst.
In homogeneous catalysis the reactants and catalyst are dispersed in a singlephase.
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf

p
Acid and base catalyses are the most important types of homogeneous catalysisin liquid solutions
For example, in the hydrolysis of ester
The rate equation of the reaction above is written as
However, this reaction can be catalysed by the addition of hydrogen ion (H+)from an acidic substance for example, hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid,
where now, the rate equation can be written asrate = k [CH3COOCH2CH3] [H
+]
By this, the rate of hydrolysis of ester can be increased by the addition of
acidic substance, which may caused faster reaction, without increasing theconcentration of ester.
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
80/85
Homogeneous catalysis can also take place in the gas phase. This can beexemplified by the reaction from SO2 to SO3, which is one of the majorpollutant in air. SO in the air are mainly released by the fumes of volcanic

y yactivities. However, recent papers had reported that SO2 emission could alsobe mainly contributed by the combustion of diesel oil, mining activities(sulphide based ores), and through various chemical industries processes such
as Contact Process. SO2 can be oxidised in air under the presence of nitrogen dioxide according to
the e uation below

5.9 Enzymes as Biological Catalysts
Chemical reactions that occur in our bodies are speeded up by enzymes, which
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
82/85
act as biological cataysts.
Enzymes are the largest and most highly specialised class of proteins and areproduced by living cells from amino acids. Its molecular weight varies from
12,000 to over 1 million. Enzymes work under mild conditions and often give 100% yields and may
s eed a reaction b 106 or 1012 times.
Some enzymes require the presence of metal ions as cofactors, and these arecalled metalloenzymes. Many but not all metalloenzymes contain a transitionelement

Compared to inorganic catalysts, enzymes are specific'in their actions.Each enzyme catalyses only one type of reaction whereas platinum
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
84/85
catalyses several reactions. In the lock-and-key theory, the active site of the enzyme conforms
exactly to the substance molecule. This specificity results from the fact
that enzymes are formed from L-amino acids and therefore the activesites are asymmetrical.
Factors affecting enzyme activity: Temperature - Most enzymes have their highest activity at temperatures from
35C to 45C. Above this range, the enzymes start to denature and the reaction
7/27/2019 CHEMISTRY PRE-U CHEMISTRY SEM 1 CHAP 5.pdf
85/85
rate decreases. Above 80C, enzymes are permanently denatured. pH -The structure and geometry of an enzyme's active site changes when the pH
of the surrounding medium changes. For example, trypsin (which is active in thesmall intestine) has its maximum activity at pH 8 whereas pepsin (which is active
in the stomach) has an optimum pH of 1.5. Solvents and salt concentrations can also change the structure of a
rotein and the activit levels of enz mes.
The activity of enzymes can be inhibited by heavy metals as mercury,lead and silver. These metals are toxic because they bind irreversiblywith free sulphydryl (-SH) functional groups on enzymes, which arethen not available to bind with the necessary cofactor.
Compounds in nerve gases combine with the hydroxyl (-OH)functional group on enzymes and cause the enzymes to lose theirability to catalyse a reaction. This is why animals poisoned by nerve gasbecome paralysed.
