Mobility and Chemical Potential
• Molecular motion and transport disucssed in TSWP Ch. 6. We can address this using chemical potentials.
• Consider electrophoresis:– We apply an electric field to a charged molecule in water.– The molecule experiences a force (F = qE)– It moves with a constant velocity (drift velocity = u)
• It obtains a speed such that the drag exactly opposes the electrophoretic force. No acceleration = steady motion.
– u = qE·1/f where f is a frictional coefficient with units of kg s-1.• qE is a force with units of kg m s-2 giving u with the expected ms-1 velocity units.
– Think of (1/f) as a mobility coefficient, sometimes written as µ.– u = mobility · force– We can determine the mobility by applying known force (qE) and measuring
the drift velocity, u.
• Gradient of the chemical potential is a force.• Think about gradient of electrical potential energy:
• Extending this to the total chemical potential:
– where f is a frictional coefficient– (1/f) as a mobility coefficient

What if c is not constant?
Can the entropy term give rise to an effective force that drives motion?
This is diffusion, and we can derive Fick’s Law (TSWP p. 269) from chemical potentials in this way.

μ1 x( ) =μ10 +kTln c1 x( )( ) • Chemical potential of component 1 in mixture.
• Net drift velocity (u) related to gradient of chemical potential by mobility (1/f) where f is frictional coefficient.
• Flux (J1x) is simply concentration times net drift.
• Einstein relation for the diffusion coefficient.
• Entropy is the driving force behind diffusion.

A pore (100 nm2) opens in a cell membrane that separates the cell interior (containing micromolar protein concentrations) from the protein free exterior. How fast do the proteins leak out? (Assume D ~ 10-6 cm2/s)
Diffusion Question
Thought problem:
Axons of a nerve cell are long processes that can extend more than 1 meter for nerve cells that connect to muscles or glands. If an action potential starting in the cell body of the neuron proceeds by diffusion of Na+ and K+ to the synapse, how long does it take the signal to travel 1m?
D25°C(Na+) = 1.5*10-5 cm2/secD25°C(K+) = 1.9*10-5 cm2/sec

Molecular Collisions
• Speeds of molecules in gas phase can be very large.– ~ 500 m/s for O2 at 20 °C– Molecules do not travel far before colliding (at atm pressures)
• z = number of collisions per second that one molecule experinces in a gas– N = molecules; V = total volume– = diameter of spherical molecule (approx. size)

Compare to Brownian motion:
Note that l ≠ d, in general.
The vertices observed in Brownian trajectories may involve many collisions.
The apparent “steps” result from the way we collect data.
Mean free paths will generally be much shorter in condensed systems.
Molecular Collisions and Reaction Kinetics
• Chemical reactions that create a bond generally require molecular collisions.
– Kinetic rate of these reactions should depend on the rate and energy of molecular collisions.
– Collisions bring the reactants together
– Kinetic energy from molecular motion enables reaction to cross over activation barrier.
• This is not just translational motion, but also includes molecular vibrations, which are more important in large molecules like proteins.
Kinetics vs Equilibrium
• Equilibrium configuration depends only on G.– Free energy is a state function, path independent– In general, no rate information– Except for mixing, not reacting systems, where we found:
• v is the drift velocity and f is the drag coefficient
• We can solve this problem because we know the exact path• And we know the energy at each point along this path

Kinetics vs Equilibrium
• For general chemical reactions we don’t know the exact path or mechanism.
• Nor do we know the precise energy function.

Transition statesreaction mechanisms
If we know all the details, physics will tell us the rate.
Details generally not known for chemical reactions.
Kinetics is a quantitative, but largely empirical, study of rates of reactions.
It is useful because kinetic behavior reveals information about reaction mechanism.(e.g. signatures of life beyond Earth)
Rate Law & Definitions
• Reaction velocity: v = dc/dt• Rate Law: Substances that influence the rate of a reaction
grouped into two catagories– Concentration changes with time
• Reactants (decrease)• Products (increase)• Intermediates (increase then decrease)
– Concentration does not change• Catalysts (inhibitor or promoter)• Intermediates in a steady-state process• Components buffered by equilibrium with large reservoir• Solvent

Order of a Reaction
• Kinetic order of a reaction describes the way rate depends on concentration: A + B --> C
• {m,n,q} are usually integers but not always• Order with respect to A is m etc.• Overall order of reaction is sum: m + n + q
– Kinetic order depends on reaction mechanism, it is not determined by stoichiometry.
– H2 + I2 -> 2HI Second order overall
– H2 + Br2 -> 2HBr Complex
