    Techniques to Study Kinetics (come up with mechanisms)

    ultimately - conc as f(time)

    1. pressure changes

    - at least one component must be gas

    2. spectroscopy- use Beer's law A ac

    - only one species must absorb at particular l

    3. Electrochemical methods- can monitor change in pH or conductivity of solution

    4. Other more sophisticated methods

    which components of rxn are kinetically active, i.e. a

    change in its concentration will alter the rate of rxn. or

    included in rate lawRate law often looks like following:

    u= k[A]a[B]b k = rate constant = f(T) c

    Br2+ I2 = 2BrI

    Br2+ H2 = 2HBr

    must be determined experimentally, cannot be deduced

    from stoichiometry of rxn.Example: rate law

  • 8/10/2019 Physical Chemistry- Kinetics

    6/66

    In general: [A]a[B]b[D]d

    a = order with respect to species A

    b = order with respect to species B

    d = order with respect to species D

    (a+b+d) = overall order of rxn

    a can be fraction, negative

    For 1st rxn: order w.r.t. Br2and I2is 1, overall order =2

    rate law happens to reflect rxn stoichiometry

    For 2nd rxn: concept of order does not apply

    rate law is complicated and rxn occurs by multistep process

    If concentration of any kinetically active species is

    nearly constant it can be incorporated into k and we get

    pseudo nth order rxn. C = catalyst for instance:

    to find rate of reaction at any time, measure change of

    concentration with time at constant T

    rate at any time = slope of curve at that time

    Determining the Rate Law

    1. Take c vs. t , guess n, plot as discussed

    1st order ln c vs. t straight line n=12nd order 1/c vs. t straight line n = 2

    - perform experiment at const. T where [B] and [D] are in excess

    2. Isolation method:

    aAkdt

    Ad ' where k' includes [B] and [D]

    - can determine k' and a

    - do for other components as well

    21/66

    2 . Method of Initial Rates

    - measure rates at initial concentrations

    - run experiment at series of initial concentration

    rates plot log ovs. log [A]o slope = a

    3. Half-life Method

    nth order: =k[A]n for n > 2

    Determining rate law: need 2 different [A]o at const. T (k is same)

    solve for n knowing [A]o(1), t (1), [A]o(2), t(2) from experiments

    rate law must be of form = k[A]n

    Reversible Reactions

    - usually study reactions far from equilibrium where

    reverse reaction is not important

    For forward rxn:

    [A] = [A]o- 1/V + 2/V and

    [B] = [B]o+ 1/V - 2/V = [B]o+[A]o-[A] assume [B]o= 0

    Ea= activation energy f(T) - energy needed for rct to proceed to products

    A = preexponential factor or frequency factor

    Effect of Temperature on Reaction Rate

    - most common relationship is exponential one

    - reaction rate increases by a factor of 2 or 3 for each 10orise in T

    expt'ly we see: plot of ln k vs. 1/T is linear

    A has units of k

    1st order k = s-1

    2nd order k = M-1s-1

    The higher Ea, the stronger the T dependence of k

    Ea= 0 means rate independent of T

    Ea< 0 means rate as T

    Elementary Reactions

    - rxns that occur in a single step - only involve 1 or 2

    molecules- most rxns do not take place in a single collision but have

    mechanisms that involve several elementary reactions

    molecularity of rxn - # of particles involved in simple collisionalprocess for elementary rxn

    - theoretical concept, whereas order is empirical

    unimolecular - one that takes place w/o collision

    - spontaneous disruption or transformation

    - radioactive disintegration

    - absorption of radiation to give energy

    bimolecular - 2 molecules collide

    3 main rxn types:

    1. initiation - unimolecular or bimolecular (can be

    photoinitiated)

    2. chain propagation - often bimolecular - one

    intermediate and one substrate - intermediate is

    product

    3. termination - converts chain propagating

    intermediates to stable molecules4. inhibition - rxn where product is destroyed, i.e. is rct

    (intermediate is destroyed & no new one produced)

    Chain Reactions

    -rxn where intermediates are produced which generate

    more intermediates thus propagating the rxn.

    Unimolecular Reaction

    (Lindemann-Hinshelwood Mechanism)

    - unimolecular rxns seen as complicated rxn involving

    multistep mechanism- collisions are bimolecular, how can a rxn be first order

    - from exptl data, it has been seen that rate laws are often

    1storder at high concentrations, but 2ndorder at low

    concentrationslook at Lindemann-HinshelwoodMechanism tp help explain this

    2. Kinetic molecular theory

    - calculate # of molecular collisions per unit volume per time and fraction of

    those collisions whose energy exceeds some threshold energy

    - atoms treated as rigid spheres - if collision betw. 2 spheres has enough

    energy will react to form products

    - does not deal with how large threshold energy must be or effectiveness of a

    collision as a function of relative molecular orientation

    Theoretcial models for describing how chem rxns occur

    1. Activated Complex Theory or Transition State Theory

    - whether or not rxn occurs determined by movement of atomicnuclei on a multidimensional potential energy surface

    - valleys or holes = energy minima = stable molecular species

    - heights or saddle points or cols = energy barrier to rxn

    - rate = concentration of activated species x frequency with which

    they pass over addle point

    - need statistical mechanics to determine [activated species]
