• 14-2 Rates & Concentrations• 14-3 The Dependence of
Concentrations on Time• 14-4 Reaction Mechanisms• 14-5 Reaction Mechanism and

OFB Chapter 14 311/30/2004
Chapter 14: Chemical Kinetics
• Thus far, we have been using and talking about chemical reactions– Reactants, products, and how much is involved– Chemical equilibrium is “dynamic”
• Chemical Kinetics* concerns how fast a reaction proceeds– Kinetics = Rates of Chemical Reactions– And how to deduce reaction mechanisms from
observed rates of reactions– Activation Energy (Role of Catalysts)
How to analyze, quantify, and predict observed reaction rates?
*Kinetics, Kinematics, Cinematics, Kino
OFB Chapter 14 411/30/2004
Reaction Mechanisms
• Most reactions, as written, actually proceed through a series of steps
• Each Step is called an elementary reaction
• Classes of elementary reactions:1. Unimolecular (a single reactant)
A → B + C (a decomposition)2. Bimolecular (very common)
A + B → products3. Termolecular (less likely event)
A + B + C → products

14-5 Reaction Mechanism & Rate Laws
Typically with a reaction one of several elementary step reaction is the slowest step. This is called the Rate Determining Step (RDS)
Case #1: When the RDS occurs first, the first step is slow and determines the rate of the overall reaction.

• Catalyst– provides a lower energy path, but
it does not alter the energy of the starting material and product
– rather it changes the energy of the transition (s), in the reaction
– A catalyst has no effect on the thermodynamics of the overall reaction
• Inhibitor– is a negative catalyst. It slows the
rate of a reaction frequently by barring access to path of low Eaand thereby forcing the reaction to process by a path of higher Ea.
OFB Chapter 14 5511/30/2004
OFB Chapter 14 5611/30/2004
Kinetics of Catalysis• A catalyst has no effect on the
thermodynamics of the overall reaction
• It only provides a lower energy path• Examples
– Pt and Pd are typical catalysts for hydrogenation reactions (e.g., ethylene to ethane conversion)
– Enzymes act as catalysts• Phases
– Homogenous catalysis – the reactants and catalyst are in the same catalyst (gas or liquid phase)
– Heterogeneous catalysis – reaction occurs at the boundary of two different phases (a gas or liquid at the surface of a solid)
