Chemical Kinetics
Presented by Mark Langella, PWISTA.com
Kinetics
Chemical kinetics is the branch of chemistry concerned with the rate of
chemical reactions and the mechanism by which chemical reactions occur.
Presented by Mark Langella, PWISTA.com
Collision Theory
In order for two particles to react chemically, they must collide. Not only must they collide, but it must be an “effective collision.” That is, they must have the correct amount of energy and collide with the proper orientation in space.
Any factor which increases the likelihood that they will collide will increase the rate of the chemical reaction.

Temp vs. Reaction rate
The effect of temperature on the rate of a chemical reaction can best be explained in terms of the kinetic molecular theory. The higher the temperature, the faster molecules move. The faster they more, the faster they collide and therefore, react at a faster rate.

Arrhenius Equation
- Collisions must have enough energy to produce the reaction (must equal or exceed the activation energy).
- Orientation of reactants must allow formation of new bonds.

Arrhenius Equation
If the natural logarithm of each side of the Arrhenius Equation is taken, the following equation results:
ln(k) = -Ea/R (1/T) + ln(A) y = mx + b
m = -Ea/R when ln(k) is plotted versus 1/T.

Presented by Mark Langella, PWISTA.com
Since the second form of the equation follows the form, y = mx + b, then a graph of ln k vs 1/T should give a straight line.
The activation energy of the reaction may be calculated from the slope of the ln k vs 1/T plot.
Slope = - E
Therefore, E = - R (slope)a

Final Notes on Kinetics
• As T increases, so does k.• Ea & E are independent of T.
• A catalyst lowers Ea and increases the rate of both kf & kr.

Light Stick Kinetics
Bend a light stick to break the glass tube inside mixing the hydrogen peroxide with the phenyl oxalate ester. Repeat this several times to eliminate any large sections of glass and expedite mixing. Place the light stick aside for two to three hours. Your instructor may have activated and aged the light sticks for you.
Presented by Mark Langella, PWISTA.com
Prepare the data collection device by slipping the one-hole #00 stopper prepared for this experiment over the temperature probe. It might be helpful to lubricate the hole in the stopper with silicone oil or spray. Cut the top from an aged and activated light stick with a sharp knife or scissors. Divide its contents equally with another lab group into two small test tubes.
Presented by Mark Langella, PWISTA.com
Place the temperature probe into the mixture. Adjust the position of the temperature probe so that it is centered in the solution but just visible when you sight into the light sensor hole. It must not extend too deep as to interfere with the light sensor readings. Clamp the foam block onto the ring stand with a large clamp. Gently force the light sensor into the hole prepared for it on the side of the foam block. It should be deep enough to fit securely but not touch the test tube.
Presented by Mark Langella, PWISTA.com
Place the switch on the light sensor to the 600 lux sensitivity. Plug the light sensor into Channel one (CH1) of a powered Lab Pro and the temperature probe into Channel two (CH2).
Connect the LabPro to your computer by means of the appropriate cable. Double click the Logger Pro icon on your computer. It should auto-ID both sensors. If not, check your connections and try again. If your instructor has a file setup for this experiment, open it now.
Presented by Mark Langella, PWISTA.com
Remove the test tube and temperature probe from the foam block, placing it into a beaker of hot (45 - 50°C) water. Using the temperature probe as a handle, stir the water with the test tube observing the temperature until it remains more or less constant. Remove the test tube from the water, dry the outside, and insert it into the foam block.
When everything is ready, click on the green “COLLECT” icon on the icon toolbar, and observe the data. The experiment will run for fifteen minutes.
Presented by Mark Langella, PWISTA.com
When the measurement is complete, disassemble the apparatus, returning all items to their designated areas. Dispose of the spent light stick solution as indicated by your instructor.
Clean both the temperature probe and the test tube with a brush using soap.

1 a) Click on the label, Lumination (lux) on the vertical axis of your graph. Select the natural log of the light intensity, “ln Illumination,” for the vertical axis. Click on the label, “Time (s),” on the horizontal axis of your graph. Select “Inverse Temperature.” Auto scale your graph. Your graph now displays the ln intensity vs 1/temperature data necessary to find the activation energy.
Presented by Mark Langella, PWISTA.com

Reaction Rate
It is customary to work with positive reaction rates, so a negative sign is used in some cases to make the rate positive.
Rates determined over a period of time are called average rates.
Instantaneous rate equals the negative slope of the tangent line.

Rate Laws(differential)

Presented by Mark Langella, PWISTA.com
Types of Rate Laws
Differential Rate Law: expresses how rate depends on concentration.
Integrated Rate Law: expresses how concentration depends on time.
Presented by Mark Langella, PWISTA.com
Rate Laws Summary• Differential rate law -- rate of a reaction depends on
concentration.• Integrated rate law -- concentration depends on time.• Rate laws normally only involve concentrations of
reactants.• Experimental determination of either rate law is
sufficient.• Experimental convenience dictates which rate law is
determined experimentally.• Rate law for a reaction often indicates reaction
mechanism.

Method of Initial Rates
Initial Rate: the “instantaneous rate” just after the reaction begins.
The initial rate is determined in several experiments using different initial concentrations.

Overall Reaction Order

rate = k[H2SeO3][H+]2[I]3
The overall reaction order is 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.

First-Order Rate Law
Integrated first-order rate law is

Reaction Mechanism Requirements
1. The sum of the elementary steps must give the overall balanced equation for the reaction.
2. The mechanism must agree with the experimentally determined rate law.
Presented by Mark Langella, PWISTA.com
Rate-Determining Step
In a multistep reaction, it is the slowest step. It therefore determines the rate of reaction.
Presented by Mark Langella, PWISTA.com
Fast Equilibrium Reaction When the 1st step is not the slow step, but a
fast equilibrium, the rate can be determined as follows:
2A + B ---> C 2nd order in B, 1st order in A. Step 1 A + B <----> D (Fast equilibrium) Step 2 D + B ----> E Slow Step 3 E + A ----> C + B Fast A + B <---> D D + B ---> E E + A ---> C + B 2 A + B ---> C
1st requirement that elementary stepsequal overall reaction is met.
Presented by Mark Langella, PWISTA.com
Fast Equilibrium Reaction(continued)
kf[A][B] = kr[D] (fast)
[D] = kf/kr([A][B])
Rate = k2[D][B] (slow) Substitute fast equation in terms of [D] into
slow reaction. Rate = k2kf/kr([A][B][B]) Rate = k[A][B]2
2nd requirement is also met, this is, then, a possible mechanism.
