A Radioactivity Example
14C 14N + e- 6 7
Carbon-14 is unstable. It decays very slowly by a process called beta-decay.
A beta particle is an electron. It is ejectedfrom the nucleus. In the process a neutronbecomes a proton.
The rate that Carbon-14 decaysis an inherent property of the nucleus.Thus the rate of decay is proportional to the number of 14C atoms present.
It is a perfect example of a first orderreaction.

The rate does not depend on anyreactant!
For this to be true something elsemust be determining the rate.
A catalyst for example
2N2O (g) 2N2 (g) + O2 (g)Pt
The rate depends only on the surface areaof the Pt not on the concentration of N2O
Second order reaction

First order reaction
ln[A]t = -k t + ln[A]0
[A]t = - k t + [A]0
Zero order reaction
Consider the famous reaction.
A + B C + D
Assume the reaction in both directions is first order in each reactant
Rateforward = kf [A][B]
Ratereverse = kr [C][D]
The two reactions will compete.
A + B C + DRateforward = kf [A][B]
Ratereverse = kr [C][D]
High [A] or [B] favor fast forward reaction
High [C] or [D] favor fast reverse reaction
At some set of concentrations therates will be equal.
When the forward and reversereactions occur at the same ratethere will be no change in concentrations.
kr [A][B]
A + B C + D
Rateforward = kf [A][B] = Ratereverse = kr [C][D]
This is equilibrium.
The forward and reverse ratesare the same at equilibrium.
kf [A][B] = kr [C][D]
kf [C][D]= = Kequil
kr [A][B]
A + B C + D
kf [A][B] = kr [C][D]
kf [C][D]= = Kequil
The equilibrium constant is determinedby the relative forward and reverse rates.
The rate law does not necessarilyreflect the stoichiometry of the reaction.
NO2(g) + CO(g) NO(g) + CO2(g)
Rate = k[NO2]2
What mechansim can explain this?
NO2(g) + NO2(g) NO3(g) + NO(g)
NO3(g) + CO(g) NO2(g) + CO2(g)
NO2(g) + CO(g) NO(g) + CO2(g)
NO2(g) + NO2(g) NO3(g) + NO(g)
NO3(g) + CO(g) NO2(g) + CO2(g)

Arrhenius Equation
-Ea/RTk = Ae
ln(k) = -Ea/RT + ln(A)
Arrhenius Equation
2N2O5(g) 4NO2(g) + O2(g)
ln(k) = -Ea/RT + ln(A)
2N2O5(g) 4NO2(g) + O2(g)
Slope = -Ea/R
Ea = -R (-1.2 x 104)K
Ea = 100 kJ/mol
Ea = - 8.31J/K (-1.2 x 104)K
ln(k1) = -Ea/RT1 + ln(A)
ln(k2) = -Ea/RT2 + ln(A)
ln(k2/ k1) = Ea/R(1/T1 - 1/T2)
This equation allows youto compare rates at different T
ln(k2/ k1) = Ea/R(1/T1 - 1/T2)Assume Ea = 100 kJ/mol and T = 300 K
What temperature wouldbe required to double the rate?
T2 = ? K
ln(k2/ k1) = Ea/R (1/T1 - 1/T2)Assume Ea = 100 kJ/mol and T = 300 K
ln(2) = 105 / R (1/300 - 1/T2)
5.8 x 10-5 = 1/300 - 1/T2
T2 = 305
Catalysis
A catalyst changes the mechansimof a reaction to one with a lower energy of activation.
H = -127kJ/mol
CH3CH=CH2 H2+
CH3CH2CH3
? Ea too high thusno reaction
Try to find a new mechanismwith a lower Ea
How do you dothat? Use acatalyst.
