• Identify factors that affect the rates of chemical reactions.
concentration: a quantitative measure of the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent or solution
catalyst
inhibitor
heterogeneous catalyst
homogeneous catalyst
• Explain the role of a catalyst.
Factors such as reactivity, concentration, temperature, surface area, and catalysts affect the rate of a chemical reaction.
SECTION16.2
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
• Some substances react more readily than others. (Alkali metals, halogens)
• The phase of the reactants matters. Some substances react faster in aqueous solutions than if combined as solids.
SECTION16.2
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
The Nature of Reactants
• Chemists change reaction rates by changing concentrations of reactants.
• When concentrations are increased, more molecules are available to collide per unit volume, and therefore collisions occur more frequently.
SECTION16.2
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
Concentration
• Greater surface area allows particles to collide with many more particles per unit of time.
• For the same mass, many small particles have more surface area than one large particle.
• Reaction rate increases with increasing surface area.
• Steel wool v. solid steel example
SECTION16.2
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
Surface Area
• Increasing temperature generally increases reaction rate.
• Increasing temperature increases the kinetic energy of the particles.
• Reacting particles collide more frequently at higher temperatures.
SECTION16.2
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
Temperature
• High-energy collisions are more frequent at a higher temperature.
• As temperature increases, reaction rate increases.

Temperature (cont.)
SECTION16.2
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
Temperature (cont.)
• A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the reaction. Note: a catalyst does not increase the amount of product .
• An inhibitor is a substance that slows or prevents a reaction.(Refrigeration, preservatives)
SECTION16.2
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
Catalysts and Inhibitors
• Catalysts lower the activation energy.
• Low activation energy means that more of the collisions between particles will have sufficient energy to overcome the activation energy barrier and bring about a reaction.
Catalysts and Inhibitors (cont.)

rate law
specific rate constant
reaction order
method of initial rates
• Determine reaction orders using the method of initial rates.
The reaction rate law is an experimentally determined mathematical relationship that relates the speed of a reaction to the concentrations of the reactants.
SECTION16.3
Reaction Rate Laws
• A rate law expresses the relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of the reactants.
SECTION16.3
Reaction Rate Laws
Writing Reaction Rate Laws
• The symbol k is the specific rate constant, a numerical value that relates the reaction rate and the concentrations of reactants at a given temperature.
• The specific rate constant is unique for every reaction.
SECTION16.3
Reaction Rate Laws
Writing Reaction Rate Laws (cont.)
• The reaction order for a reactant defines how the rate is affected by the concentration of that reactant.
• Rate = k[H2O2]
• The reaction is first order, so the rate changes in the same proportion the concentration of H2O2 changes.
SECTION16.3
Reaction Rate Laws
Writing Reaction Rate Laws (cont.)
• 2NO(g) + 2H2(g) → N2(g) + 2H2(g)
–Rate = k[NO]2[H2]
–If H2 is doubled, the rate doubles.
–If NO is doubled, the rate quadruples because 22 = 4.
–First-order H2, second-order NO, third-order overall
SECTION16.3
Reaction Rate Laws
Writing Reaction Rate Laws (cont.)
• The method of initial rates determines reaction order by comparing the initial rates of a reaction carried out with varying reactant concentrations.
• Initial rate measures how fast the reaction proceeds at the moment when reactants are mixed.

• Reaction rates are generally calculated and expressed in moles per liter per second (mol/(L ● s)).
