1114-3 Effect of Concentration on Reaction
Rates The Rate Law
- Rate law (rate equation)
- An expression for a reaction relates the
reaction rate to the concentrations of the
reactants. - For a hypothetical reaction
- aA bB ? gG hH
- Rate law for this reaction can be expressed as
- Rate of reaction kAmBn
- A and B The molarities of the reactants.
- m and n Reaction order of A and B,
respectively. - m n Overall order of reaction
- k Rate constant
- Exponents m and n are determined by experiment,
irrelevant to the stoichiometric coefficients a
and b.

13- Distinction between rate and rate constant
- Rate of a reaction The change in concentration
with time. Except for zero-order reaction, the
rate of a reaction varies as concentration vary. - Rate constant Remains constant throughout a
reaction, regardless of the initial
concentrations of the reactants - Value of the rate constant (k) depends on
- The specific reaction
- The temperature
- The presence or absence of a catalyst.
14- Method of initial rates
- A method of establishing the rate law for a
reaction, i.e., finding the values of the
exponents in the rate law, and the value of k. - (It is performed by a series of experiments in
which the initial concentration of one reactant
is varied, other reactants are held constant.)
Double the concentration of a reactant A, if
reaction is zero-order in A no effect on rate.
(20) first-order in A the rate doubles
(21). second-order in A the rate quadruples
(22). third-order in A the rate eightfold (23)

- Collision Theory The rate of a reaction is
proportional to the number of effective collision
per unit of volume per unit of time.

must be supplied for an effective collisions,
i.e., for a reaction to occur. - Temperature effect increasing temperature

the reactants and products. - Activated complex An intermediate in a chemical
reaction formed through collisions. - Reaction profile A graphical representation of a

number of collisions per unit volume per unit
time that are capable of leading to reaction. - e-Ea/RT fraction of collisions with sufficiently
energetic to produce a reaction. - Ea activation energy (kJ/mol)

41 4214-10 Reaction Mechanisms
- Reaction mechanism A set of elementary processes
by which a reaction is proposed to occur. - A proposed mechanism must
- consistent with the experimentally determined
rate law. - consistent with the stoichiometry of the overall
reaction. - Steps in the study of a reaction mechanism
- 1. Measuring the reaction rate
- 2. Formulating the rate law

43(Continuous)
- Elementary process A single step at the
molecular level in the progress of the overall
reaction. - Molecularity The number of free atoms, ions, or
molecules that collide or dissociate in an
elementary reaction.

44- Rate-determining step The elementary process in
establishing the rate of the overall reaction. It
is usually the slowest step. - Intermediate A substance that is produced in one
elementary process in a reaction mechanism and
consumed in another elementary process. - The intermediate does not appear in the overall
reaction. - Catalyst A substance that increase the rate of a
reaction without itself being consumed in the
overall reaction. - A catalyst changes a reaction mechanism with a
lower activation energy. - The catalyst does not appear in the overall
reaction.

- 2CO(g) unburned hydrocarbons 2NO(g)
- 2CO2(g) 2N2(g)
- CO(g) unburned hydrocarbons O2(g)
- CO2(g) H2O(g)
5014-11 Catalysis
- The role of catalyst
- Catalyst increases the reaction rate without
itself being used up in a chemical reaction. - A catalyst works by changing the mechanism of a
chemical reaction. - The catalyst is consumed in one step of the
mechanism, but is regenerated in another step. - The pathway of a catalyzed reaction has a lower
activation energy than that of an uncatalyzed
reaction, i.e., more molecules at a fixed
temperature have the necessary activation energy.
51- Homogeneous Catalysis (reactants and catalyst are
in single phase) - Example for homogeneous catalysis
- The reactants and products of this reaction are
all present throughout the solution, or
homogeneous mixture.
52- Heterogeneous Catalysis (reactants and catalyst
are in different phases) - Solid surface-catalyzed reaction for example, its
catalytic processes involves - (1) adsorption of reactants
- diffusion of reactants along the surface
- reaction at an active site to form adsorbed
product - desorption of the product.
53- Example for heterogeneous catalysis
(1)
(2)
(3) and (4)
54- Concentration of catalyst on reaction rate
- Neither catalyst (I) nor intermediate (OI)
appear in the overall equation. - Decomposition of H2O2(aq) is affected by the
initial concentration of I. - I is constant throughout a given reaction.
55- Enzymes as Catalysts
- Enzymes High-molecular-mass proteins, usually
catalyze one specific reaction or a set of
quite similar reactions but no others. - The reactant called the substrate (S), attaches
itself to an area on the enzyme (E) called the
active site, to form an enzyme-substrate complex
(ES). - The rates of enzyme-catalyzed reactions are
influenced by factors such as - concentration of the substrate
- concentration of the enzyme
- acidity of the medium
- temperature.
