Rates of Reaction : 

Rates of Reaction Chapter 26

Measuring Rates of Reaction : 

Measuring Rates of Reaction No too interested in accurate timing More interested in comparisons

Rates as rx proceeds? : 

Rates as rx proceeds? Many reactions tend to slow down Occurs as reactants get used up

Factors Affecting Rx Rates : 

Factors Affecting Rx Rates Collision Theory

Demolition Derby Illustration : 

Demolition Derby Illustration Rate of wipeouts depends on: How crowded the field is How fast the cars travel Size of the cars Strength of the cars Geometry of collisions (head-on or side-on etc)

Demolition Derby Illustration : 

Demolition Derby Illustration Application to reactions: How crowded concentration Speed temperature Size surface area Strength stability of reactants Geometry accounts for randomness

Explanations : 

Explanations Concentration – particles are closer and more likely to collide  faster rx Temperature – faster – more collision impact  faster rx Surface area – more chance of contact  faster rx Strength & Geometry – can’t do much to change this – depends on the substances

Activation Energy : 

Activation Energy Most rxs not spontaneous Usually require something to start Petrol – tiny spark Coal – roaring fire Provides an energy barrier for the rx Higher temp  more particles have energy to overcome the energy barrier

Distribution of particle energy : 

Distribution of particle energy Energy of particles (average speed) Number of particles (frequency) A B Normal distribution at 25oC

Distribution of particle energy : 

Distribution of particle energy Energy of particles (average speed) Number of particles (frequency) A B Normal distribution at 55oC

Activation Energy –Exothermic Rx : 

Activation Energy –Exothermic Rx Energy Reactants Products Before rx After rx Activation Energy H

Activation Energy –Endothermic Rx : 

Activation Energy –Endothermic Rx Energy Reactants Products Before rx After rx ActivationEnergy H

Activation complex : 

Activation complex Intermediate step – more energy Activation complex Eg. H2 + ½ O2  H2O First H2 and ½ O2 split into individual atoms

Reaction Mechanisms : 

Reaction Mechanisms Single step rx – only 1 activation complex Many rxs involve multiple steps Substances formed after each step – intermediates Each step also has an activation complex with its own activation energy

Multiple Step Rx : 

Multiple Step Rx Energy ActivationEnergy H Intermediates Activated complexes

Rate determining step : 

Rate determining step Multi-step rx – step with highest activation energy slowest Rate determining step

Catalysts : 

Catalysts Speeds up a rx by providing an alternate pathway with a lower activation energy Does not get used up in the rx – can be used again and again Small amount of catalyst can make a big difference Can speed up a rx by 108 to 1011 times Catalysts may be damaged physically

Hurdles analogy : 

Hurdles analogy Uncatalysed pathway – few particles have enough energy to go over Catalysed pathway – most particles have enough energy to go over

Catalysts : 

Catalysts Catalysts may be altered physicallyeg may melt, break into bits etc Catalysts may be poisoned – if a chemical attaches to it and prevents the catalysis

Catalysis and the Haber process : 

Catalysis and the Haber process ½ N2 + 1½ H2  NH3 Very slow reaction Catalyst of iron and a mixture of other substances works best Requires a large surface area Depend on adsorbtion – sticking to surface Catalyst can last for 8 years Can be poisoned by H2S
