Reaction Rates and EquilibriumRates of Reaction

Think about it…

• What are some ways the rate of a reaction can be increased?

• What is a Rate??• A rate tells you how much something changes in a

specified amount of time. • Chemical Kinetics is the study of how fast a

chemical reaction occurs• Examples could be your speed or growth

Reaction Rates

• Some reactions occur very quickly, almost instantaneously• i.e. striking a match

• Others can occur very, very slowly• i.e. coal forming from dead organic matter

• Rates of reaction vary greatly and depend on several characteristics.

Collision Theory

• Rates of chemical reactions are related to the properties of atoms, ions, and molecules

• The collision theory states that when these particles react they must come into contact and collide with enough kinetic energy.

• If they do not have enough K.E., they bounce off and no rxn occurs (unsuccessful collision)

Collision Theory

• Its not enough that they collide, they must have enough force (kinetic energy) to “stick” and react

How Much Kinetic Energy??

• The amount of force or Kinetic Energy required is known as the Activation Energy, denoted (Ea).

• This is the minimum amount of energy to have in order for a reaction to take place.• Without it, the particles bounce off and nothing

happens.

• This is essentially just a barrier the particles must cross in order to form products.

Activation Energy, (Ea)

• As stated, this is the minimum amount of energy needed during a collision for a rxn to occur.

Activation Energy, (Ea)

(∆G)

Factors Affecting Reaction Rates

• You can modify the rate of almost any reaction by changing the conditions• Such conditions can be Temperature, Concentration,

and Particle Size. • You could also add a catalyst… what is a catalyst??

• Think about Collision Theory.• The question you should ask is: What can I do

to INCREASE THE NUMBER OF COLLISIONS??

Temperature

• Usually, raising the temperature will speed up a reaction.

• At higher temperatures, the motion of the particles is __________________.

• With this increase in motion also comes an increase of average _______________, thereby giving the particles enough energy to overcome the Activation Energy (Ea)

Concentration

• The number of reacting particles in a given volume also plays a huge role in the speed.

• By sticking in more particles you increase the concentration, which then increases the number of collisions, which thennnn increases the reaction rate (speed)

Particle Size

• The smaller the sample, the more surface area there is for contact

• The more surface area, the more collisions

• One way to increase the surface area is to dissolve them in solution or crush them up• Crushing or grinding reactants up will greatly

increase the speed of reaction.

Catalysts

• What is a catalyst??

• The catalyst itself is NOT used up or altered in any way in a chemical reaction

Catalyzed Reaction

2H2(g) + O2(g) 2H2O(l)Pt

Because catalysts are not consumed or changed in a reaction, they are not written as reactants OR products.

Biological Catalysts

• Catalysts in our bodies are VERY important.

• Many necessary reactions do not occur at body temperature (37⁰C) and we cannot simply jack up the temp… Why not??

• In order to help speed up these needed reactions, we add biological catalysts, or enzymes.

Enzymes• Without enzymes, digestion of proteins would take

years!!!

• We need to obviously speed this reaction up!

• An inhibitor is a substance that interferes with a catalysts’ job.

• Reactions will slow or even stop when an inhibitor is introduced. They stop the catalyst from doing its job (which is to speed it all up!)

Questions:• What is chemical kinetics? What is collision theory? • What is activation energy and how does it relate to the

number of collisions that take place in a chemical reaction?• What is a catalyst?• If an inhibitor is added to a chemical reaction, what

happens to the rate? • Does every collision between reacting particles lead to

products? Explain. • When the gas to a stove is turned on, the gas does not

burn unless lit by a flame. Once lit, however, the gas burns until turned off. Explain these observations in terms of the effect of temperature on reaction rate.
