Rates of Reactions
Empirical StudiesReaction rate (progress with time) measurements:
The progress of the reactions are expressed as the change of the concentration / pressure of reactant(s) / product(s) / intermediate(s)
Measured by monitoring physical quantities proportional to the concentration or pressure. For example, absorption of radiation.

Absorption Spectroscopy
The light beam is characterized by the intensity (energy per unit area per unit time) at the frequency of interest:
Beam cross-section = A
Molecule concentration: [D]

The absorbance of the reaction mixture is measured at two different frequencies:
α

α2
(↵(!1) = "A1 [A]L+ "B1 [B]L
↵(!2) = "A2 [A]L+ "B2 [B]L

����
Isosbestic PointIf the extinction coefficients of the two components A and B are the same at a frequency ωi, that is, εA(ωi) = εB(ωi) = ε(ωi), this frequency ωi is called the isosbestic point. Since for our model reaction we have [A] + [B] = [A]0 + [B]0 at any time during the reaction,
↵(!i) = "(!i) [A]L+ " (!i) [B]L
= " (!i) ([A] + [B])L
= constant
Isosbestic PointThe existence of isosbestic point is the evidence of having two species in the reaction mixture in chemical equilibrium without intermediate.
Definition of Reaction RateReaction rate: rate of change of the amount (partial pressure, concentration, ... not activity) of certain reactant or product species.
Rate is always taken as positive
Production rate(s) of product(s), consumption rate(s) of reactant(s) ...
Rate of finite process:
Rate of infinitesimal process: (Differential or instantaneous rate)
v = |� [J ] /�t|
v = |d [J ] /dt|
Stoichiometrically Normalized Reaction Rates
Consider the species based on which the reaction rate is defined, and define a rate which applies to all the species in a reaction Examples:
A → B : -d[A]/dt = +d[B]/dt (NH2)2CO(aq) + 2 H2O(l) → 2 NH4+(aq) + CO32–(aq) :d[NH4+] / dt = 2 d[CO32–] / dt = –2 d[(NH2)2CO] / dt

Measuring Fast ReactionsReal-time measurements with specialized instrumentations
Flow methods (continuous flow, stopped flow, …)
Time-resolved spectroscopic methods
Relaxation methods(ways to apply the above methods)
Batch measurements
Quenching methods(When real-time methods do not have proper dynamic range)
Flow Method
Steady flow with velocity v
S
Distance ↔ time ( t = S / v )
Continuous-Flow Method
t = t0 + S / v
t: time since initiation
t0: mixing dead time
S
Continuous-Flow MethodDisadvantages:
Must be liquid-phase reactions
Require a large amount of reactants
To achieve higher time-resolution for faster reaction, even more reactants are required
Time resolution: ∆t = ∆S / v (∆S = spatial resolution) Fixed spatial resolution, then higher v ⇒ better time resolution
Stopped-Flow Method
Stopped-Flow MethodProcedure:
Mixing with the flow stopped
Start the flow
Stop the flow
Measurement with time-resolved spectroscopic methods (CD, FTIR, …)
Dead time: td = t0 + S/v
Time-resolution: depends on the spectroscopic method
Relaxation MethodManfred Eigen, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1967
If a parameter such as temperature, pressure, or denaturant concentration is switched to a new value so rapidly that the chemical system cannot respond during the switching process, the subsequent relaxation towards equilibrium can be monitored.
Protein Folding KineticsProtein unfolding can be induced by denaturant, temperature change, or pH change, etc. Protein unfolding/refolding kinetics can be measured by relaxing the unfolding agent
Protein + high [D] + solvent
Protein + low [D] + solvent

Quenching MethodChemical reaction is stopped some time after it is initiated
Advantage: composition of the reaction mixture can be studied with slow methods in an off-line manner
Chemical quench flow: species that can quench the reaction is added into the flow
Freeze quench: temperature is lowered to an extend that no more reaction will continue
Freeze quench example: cryo-em

Empirical Studies of Reaction Kinetics
Rate Laws / Rate ConstantsThe differential rate generally depends on the instantaneous configuration. Under given physical condition and configuration, the rate is usually a constant.
A + B → P, typically:(power law) εA, εB are not necessarily integers
Example of more complicated rate law:
Michaelis-Menten law: ← Not a power law
v / [A]"A [B]"B
v =vmax
[S]
Km + [S]
Rate Laws / Rate ConstantsIf the rate law is a power law, for example, the order of the reaction is εA + εB.
The constant k is the rate constant. There is no definite relation between the stoichiometry coefficients { νA, νB } and the exponents { εA, εB }.
The dimension / unit of the rate constant depends on the rate law
Example: first-order reaction A → B, dimension of k: time–1
v = k [A]"A [B]"B
Determination of Rate LawsRate law = fundamental physical model of the reaction.
Rate law = expressing the instantaneous rate as a function of time, physical conditions, and system composition.
Empirical studies: determine function form of the rate law directly from experimental data.
Isolation method
Initial rate method
Isolation MethodExample: A + B + C + … → P
Generally
Goal: Find k, εA, εB, and so on.
To find εA, prepare B, C, … in large excess ⇒
[B], [C], … can be approximated as constants [B]0, [C]0, …. ⇒(pseudo-εA-order)
v = k [A]"A [B]"B [C]"C . . .
v = k ([B]"B [C]"C . . .) [A]"A
Isolation MethodMeasure rate and [A] as functions of time simultaneously.
Plot the logarithm of rate as function of logarithm of [A]:
: effective rate constantln v = ln k0A + "A ln [A]
k0A
ln v
ln [A]slope =
εA
Initial Rate MethodIsolation method is often combined with the initial rate method.
Different terms in a composite rate law are determined one by one (divide-and-conquer method).
In the isolation method, the “isolation” approximation is worse and worse when more and more A is consumed.
Initial Rate MethodIf, for different initial concentration of A, [A]0, the progress of the reaction is monitored for a short time, even [A] can be treated as a constant. → Initial rate v0 Measure v0 for different [A]0, then, like in the isolation method, we have ln v0 = ln k’A + εA ln [A]0
ln v0
ln [A]0
slope = εA
Initial Rate MethodFor power law reaction rate law, linear regression (linear least-square) method can be used to analyze the experimental data.
Example: Binding of glucose (G) to the enzyme hexokinase (H). Assume that the rate law is Determine k, εH, and εG according to the experimental data.
