2. Chapter 14: Chemical Kinetics

3. Relative Rates 𝑎𝐴+𝑏𝐵→𝑐𝐶+𝑑𝐷

Example of instantaneous rate
In terms of reactants
In terms of products

4. Which of the following will not usually increase the rate of a chemical reaction?
Crushing a solid reactant
Decreasing the concentration of a reactant
Increasing the temperature
Liquefying a reactant B

5. Why should one expect an increase in temperature to increase the initial rate of reaction? Why should one expect a gaseous state reaction to happen faster than a solid state one? Is the activation energy of the gaseous reaction higher or lower than the solid state?
Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules. As the tempreature increases, the average energy of the particles is great enough to overcome the activation energy barrier.
Gaseous molecules move freely with higher energy than molecules in solids. Statistically speaking, a higher proportion of gaseous molecules will collide with the right kinetic energy in the right orientation to react. The activation energy barrier is much lower in gases than solids.

6. What affects reaction rate?
Temperature
Increased temperature  Increased rate
Surface Area
Increased surface area  Increased rate
Catalysts
Accelerate reaction by lowering the activation energy barrier, but are not consumed
Concentration
As demonstrated by rate law

7. Rate Law Expression Order Rate Constant Units 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒=𝑘 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒=𝑘 [𝐴] 𝑚
𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒=𝑘 [𝐴] 𝑚 [𝐵] 𝑛
Rate law (reaction orders) must be experimentally determined. Then a value of k can be calculated for a given reaction (catalyst affects k) at a given temperature. Neither time nor changing the concentration will change k.
𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒=𝑘 [𝐴] 𝑚 [𝐵] 𝑛 [𝐶] 𝑝
k is a proportionality (rate) constant for a given reaction at a certain temperature

The molecules must collide in an orientation that can lead to rearrangement of the atoms and the formation of products.

19. The Arrhenius Equation
The exponential term gives the fraction of molecules having sufficient energy for reaction and is a function of T. A is the frequency factor. It is related to the number of collisions and to the fraction of collisions that have the correct geometry. It is concentration dependent (it becomes smaller as the concentration of reactants become larger). It is reaction specific and temperature dependent.

20. Although an increase in temperature results in an increase in kinetic energy, this increase in kinetic energy is not sufficient to explain the relationship between temperature and reaction rates. How does the activation energy relate to the chemical kinetics of a reaction? Why does an increase in temperature increase the reaction rate despite the fact that the average kinetic energy is still less than the activation energy?
Increase in temperature increases the number of collisions, thereby increasing the probability of a successful collision
