- study of rates of rx. and the factors which affect the rates. (note: rx = reaction(s)) Expressing Rates rate = quantity of a product formed unit time or rate = quantity of a reactant consumed unit time
in general: rate = amount (a reactant or product) time Note: A time unit is always in the denominator of a rate equation. eg.) Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) r= mass of Zn time volume H2 time r = [ HCl ] time (note: [ ] = molar concentration)
r=
Do ex. 1-5 p.2 S.W. (SW is Hebdens Student Workbook)
Note - some rxs, when written in ionic form show that some ions dont change concentration. eg. Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) H2(g) + MgCl2(aq)
NOTE: To write an equation in IONIC FORM, dissociate all the aqueous (aq) compounds:
ionic form : (use ion chart)
Mg(s) + 2H+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) H2(g) + Mg2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

[Cl -] does not change as rx. proceeds (spectator ion)
Write 4 possible equations which express rate.

Chemistry 12Unit 1-Reaction Kinetics--Notes Calculations Involving Reaction Rates When doing calculations involving rate, amount (grams, moles, Litres etc.) use the general equation:
Rate = amount (g, mol, L) time (s, min) or time = amount Rate
or
amount = Rate x time
WHEN YOU USE ONE OF THESE FORMULAS, MAKE SURE YOUR UNITS CAN CANCEL OUT PROPERLY!
to help solve for what you need. ALWAYS use conversion factors to cancel units you dont want and replace them with ones you do want! Eg.) 0.020 mol = min. ? mol s 1 min = 3.3 x 10-4 mol 60 s s
The 60 in 60 s/1min is an exact number by definition. Therefore, we dont consider it using significant digits. The 0.020 has 2 sig. digs., therefore the answer has 2.
Solution:
0.020 mol x 1 min
You also must use molar mass to go grams moles. Eg.) 0.26 mol Zn min = ? g of Zn s 0.28 g of Zn s
Solution: 0.26 mol Zn x 65.4 g Zn x 1 min = 1 min 1 mol Zn 60 s
You would use 22.4 L for conversions moles L (STP) for gases. 1 mol eg.) 0.030 mol O2 /s = Solution: 0.030 mol O2 x 1s L/s (STP) 22.4 L mol = 0.67 L O2 s
(The 0.030 has 2 sig digs so the answer must have 2 sig. digs.)
NOTE: This conversion is only used for gases at STP!
Page 2 of 40 pages
Chemistry 12Unit 1-Reaction Kinetics--Notes Try this problem: The rate of a reaction is 0.034 g of Mg per second. Calculate the number of moles of Mg used up in 6.0 minutes.
Comparing rates using balanced equations -use coefficient ratios - only proportional to mol /s (not to g/s) eg.) ethane 2C2H6 + 7O2 4CO2 + 6H2O
consumed produced
eg.) if ethane is consumed at a rate of 0.066 mol /s, calculate the rate of consumption of O2 in mol /s Solution: 0.066 mol C2H6 x 7 mol O2 = 0.23 mol O2 s 2 mol C2H6 s if ethane is consumed at a rate of 0.066 mol /s calculate rate of production of CO2 Solution: 0.066 mol C2H6 x 4 mol CO2 s 2 mol C2H6 = 0.13 mol CO2 s
- when other units used you must use moles to (go over the mole bridge) (you may go from L L of one gas to another at STP) eg.) given: 2Al + 3Br2 2AlBr3 if 67.5 g of Al are consumed per second - calculate the rate of consumption of Br2 in g/s. Solution: 67.5 g Al x 1 mol Al x 3 mol Br2 s 27.0 g Al 2 mol Al x 159.8 g Br2 = 599 g Br2 1 mol Br2 s
You may have to use a few conversions and the rate equation to arrive at an answer. As you did in Chem. 11, make a plan first and make sure your units all cancel the correct way! Heres an example on the next page Chemistry 12Unit 1-Reaction KineticsNotes Page 3 of 40 pages
Chemistry 12Unit 1-Reaction Kinetics--Notes An experiment is done to determine the rate of the following reaction: 2Al(s) + 6 HCl (aq) 3 H2(g) + 2 AlCl3 (aq) It is found that the rate of production of H2(g) is 0.060 g/s. Calculate the mass of Aluminum reacted in 3.0 minutes.
Measuring Reaction Rates

- different methods for different reactions. - must look at subscripts & use common sense. eg. CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq)
CO2 gas is escaping HCl(aq)
H2O(l) + CO2(g) + CaCl2 (aq)
ionic form: net ionic form:
CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) H2O(l) + CO2(g) + Ca2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq) H2O(l) + CO2(g) + Ca2+(aq)
in an open system CO2(g) escapes
Page 4 of 40 pages
Chemistry 12Unit 1-Reaction Kinetics--Notes - as CO2 escapes, mass of the rest of the system will _____________________________ - so rate could be expressed as.. . r = mass of container and contents (open system) time Note rate = slope of amount. vs. time graph (disregard sign of slope. Slope will be negative if something is being consumed and positive if something is being produced. Rate is just the amount/time )
Slope = rise (g) run (s)
Mass of Container and Contents (g) rise (g) run (s)
Rate = Slope (made +)
Time (s)
Note - for a changing rate (slope) which is more realistic -rate could be expressed over a certain interval

Average slope between 0 and 30 s is shown by a straight line drawn from time 0 to time 30 s on the graph.

Monitoring Reaction Rates

- properties which can be monitored (measured at specific time intervals) in order to determine rx. rate. Note : Must consider -subscripts (s) (l) (g) (aq) - coefficients of gases - heat (endo or exo?) - Do demo with Cu & HNO3 discuss colour, mass, conc., pressure (volume) change Colour changes - only in reactions where coloured reactant is consumed or new coloured product formed. eg.) Cu(s) + 4HNO3(aq) Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 2NO2(g) + heat copper clear blue clear brown - in this case could measure - intensity of blue - intensity of brown gas Cu(NO3)2(aq) + Zn(s) Cu(s) + Zn(NO3)2(aq) blue grey reddish colourless - as this reaction proceeds the blue colour fades in ionic form: Cu2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) + Zn(s) Cu(s) + Zn2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) net ionic: Cu2+(aq) + Zn(s) Cu(s) + Zn2+(aq) [Cu2+ is blue!] - colour intensity can be measured quantitatively using a spectrophotometer (see p. 4 S.W.) eg. of rate equation rate = colour intensity time

Temp changes
- in exothermic reaction temperature of surroundings will ____________________ - in endothermic reaction temperature of surroundings will ____________________ - measured in insulated container (calorimeter) rate = temp time 3.) Pressure changes (constant volume or sealed container)
- if more moles of gas (coefficient) in products pressure will go up Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) O m.o.g. 1 m.o.g. - If more MOG in reactants - pressure will __________________________ rate = pressure time (constant volume)
- If equal MOG, pressure will not change: NO2(g) + CO(g) 2 m.o.g. 4.) Volume change CO2(g) + NO(g) 2 m.o.g.
(constant pressure eg. balloon or manometer)
eg.) if more gas is produced, volume of balloon will increase rate = volume time 5.) Mass changes - if only one solid is used up - could remove periodically and weigh it: Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) H2(g) + MgCl2(aq)
(periodically remove Mg and weigh what is left)
(constant pressure)
Page 7 of 40 pages
- if one gas is produced and escapes, measure mass of whats left in container (mass of container and contents) eg) heat + CaCO3(s) CaO(s) + CO2(g) rate = mass of container & contents time
Only CO2 gas escapes. So as CO2 escapes, the mass of the container and contents will decrease.
Note: its not practical to measure masses of (aq) substances separately since they are mostly water. eg) Ca(s) + 2HNO3(aq) H2(g) + Ca(NO3)2(aq) mass of HNO3(aq) time 6.) Changes in molar concentration of specific ions eg) Mg(s) + 2HBr(aq) H2(g) + MgBr2(aq) ionic form: Mg(s) + 2H+(aq) + 2Br -(aq) H2(g) + Mg2+(aq) + 2Br -(aq) - could monitor [ H+] - it will ______________crease eg.) rate = [Mg2+] [ Mg2+] - will ______________crease time Note: Does the [Br -] change? _______________ Explain. - the concentration of a specific ion can be measured: - using spectrophotometer - periodic samples taken and titrated to measure conc. 7.) Changes in Acidity - special case of #6 rate = [H+] time pH is a measure of acidity pH 0 7 14 Page 8 of 40 pages [H+] not acceptable
Chemistry 12Unit 1-Reaction Kinetics--Notes <----------------- ------------------> more acidic more basic (less basic) (less acidic) if H+ is a reactant (or any acid HCl, HNO3 etc.) [H+] will decrease so pH will INCREASE! (less acidic) rate = pH time
Measured with a pH meter
(read p. 4-5 SW. Ex. 7-9 page 5)
- Do Hand-In Assignment on Reaction Rates - Do expt 18-B (or A) To look at factors affecting rx rates. - Factors affecting reaction rates - 2 kinds of reactions: Homogeneous reactions - all reactants are in the same phase (don't consider products) eg.) 3H2(g) + N2(g) 2NH3(g) (both gases) Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) AgCl(s) ( both (aq) )
Heterogeneous Reactions - more than one phase in reactants. eg.) Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) (2 diff. phases) eg.) C(s) + O2(g) CO2(g) (2 diff. phases)
Factors that affect both homogeneous & heterogeneous. reactions

1.) Temperature - as temperature increases, rate _________________________ 2.) Concentration of reactants - as cons. of one or more reactants increases, rate __________________________ - also partial pressure of a gas (partial pressure of a gas is the pressure exerted by
that gas in a mixture of gases - its proportional to concentration )
Page 9 of 40 pages
Chemistry 12Unit 1-Reaction Kinetics--Notes 3.) Pressure - affects reactions with gases in reactants. eg.) C(s) + O2(g) ---> CO2(g) - as pressure increases, rate _____________________________ Note: a decrease in the volume of reaction container increases the pressure (therefore rate) 4.) Nature of reactants -rate depends on how strong & how many bonds in reactants need to be broken. in general covalent bonds are strong and slow to break. C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) (slow at room temp)
H H H H H H
H- C-C -C-H
strong covalent bonds between C-C and C-H atoms + 2MnO4- + 16H+ 10CO2 + 8H2O
eg.)
5C2O42-
(slow)
Many bonds have to be broken and many new bonds have to form. So this reaction is slow at room temperature. Eg.) H2(g) + Cl2(g) Cl - Cl slow at room temp. 2HCl(g) ( H2 and Cl2 are diatomic)
H-H +
covalent bonds Consider Phase A(s) + B(s) AB both solids
slow at room temp.
Fast reactions at room temperature: -simple electron transfer (no bonds broken) eg.) Sn2+ + Te4+ Sn4+ + Te2+ (2 electrons have been transferred from _____ to _____ ) fast at room temp . -precipitation reactions: Chemistry 12Unit 1-Reaction KineticsNotes Page 10 of 40 pages
Chemistry 12Unit 1-Reaction Kinetics--Notes eg.) Fe2+(aq) + S2-(aq) FeS(s) fast at room temp. both reactants (aq) - no bonds to break.
-acid base (proton transfers) ProtonTransferAnimation -intermediate in rate eg.) NH4+ + SO32- NH3 + HSO3- Do ex. 10 p.7 SW. Also, do this question:
5.)
Catalysts - a substance which can be added to increase the rate of a rx. without being consumed itself. (reactants are consumed) Demo with H2O2 + MnO2 2H2O2(l) 2H2O(l) + O2(g) MnO2 2H2O2(l) 2H2O(l) + O2(g) uncatalyzed - slow catalyzed - fast
Inhibitors - a substance which can be added to reduce the rate of a reaction. (can combine with a catalyst or a reactant & prevent it from reacting) -eg. poisons (cyanide) - organophosphates (diazinon) -antibiotics -antidepressants (serotonin uptake inhibitors) -sunscreens
Page 11 of 40 pages
Factor which affects only heterogeneous reactions (more than one phase)
6.) Surface area -when 2 different phases react, reaction can only take place on surface. solid
liquid
solid
liquid gas

increase surface area by cutting solid into smaller pieces (liquids in smaller droplets)
These "inside" surfaces are added
Chunk (small surface area)
Sliced (larger surface area)
Powder (huge surface area!)
- do lycopodium powder demo - In general - reactants with solids are slow (except powdered) - gaseous reactants are faster (but watch for diatomic bonds!) - reactants in ionic solution. are fastest if no bonds to break eg. pptn Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) AgCl (s)
(aqueous ions are mobile (unlike in a solid ) and more concentrated than molecules in a gas ) - Read pages 5-9 SW. - do ex. 12-14 SW. (page 8) Some points 1.) Temperature affects rate of all reactions Chemistry 12Unit 1-Reaction KineticsNotes Page 12 of 40 pages
Chemistry 12Unit 1-Reaction Kinetics--Notes 2.) Pressure (or volume) affect reactions with gaseous reactants 3.) Concentration only affects (aq) or (g) reactants 4.) Surface area - affects only heterogeneous reactions. - do ex. 15-17 p. 9-10 SW. Pay close attention to the graphs in question 17!
Everyday situations which require control of reaction rate

- Body chemistry eg.) - metabolism - fever can destroy bacteria - neurotransmitters - awareness, sleep etc. hormones - messengers (adrenaline, sex hormones) catalysts - enzymes (digestive etc) - aging - Fuels - concentration of O2 important - to increase combustion rate - increase [ O2 ] - increase surface area - increase temperature - catalyst (wood stoves etc) - to decrease combustion rate - water on fire -smothers it (decreases O2) - cools it - fire retardant - forest fires - children's clothing - airplane fuels- when spilled -Industrial Processes - produce product quickly eg.) - fiberglass - uses catalyst (hardener) hardens fast but not too fast - epoxy uses catalyst - contact cement fast - concrete - ceramics - paint - oxy- acetylene welding (must be very hot) - oil refining - sewage treatment - use microbes to speed up breakdown - slow down reactions. eg.) nitroglycerine - keep cool - if too warm explodes -Rusting -(oxidation) of cars etc. - paint, sealers, etc. prevents O2 from contact with surface - keep cool & dry - improves taste - kills some bacteria - glue
- Cooking
Page 13 of 40 pages
Chemistry 12Unit 1-Reaction Kinetics--Notes - if too hot causes burning and productions of carcinogens (benzopyrenes) - Food preservation - lower temperature - anti-oxidants (eg. ascorbic acid) - keep from O2 (sealing) - preservatives (nitrates, nitrites) Think of more!
Collision theory

high conc. blue low conc. red higher chance of collision
high conc. both very high chance of collision
(slow reaction)
(faster reaction)
(much faster reaction)
Effect of temperature
- when molecules move faster more collisions per unit time faster rate - also - when they move faster they collide with more kinetic energy. (hit harder) [Read page 12 SW. Do Ex. 20-22 on page 12 of SW.]

Kinetic energy distributions http://www.wwnorton.com/chemistry/tutorials/ch14.htm

Activation Energy
-minimum energy needed in a collision before a reaction take place. - it can also be defined as the minimum energy colliding particles must have in order to have a successful collision (ie. one that results in a reaction.) (SW p.19 called M.E.) A Collision in which the molecules have sufficient energy for a reaction to take place is called a SUCCESSFUL COLLISION. SEE THE GRAPH ON THE NEXT PAGE....

Rule of thumb -if the activation energy (threshold) is near the tail of the curve: - if the temperature is increased by 10oC reaction rate will about double. (ie. about twice the number of molecules have sufficient KE for a successful collision.)

The number of molecules with sufficient energy DOUBLES approximately
On the graph above, temperature T2 is about 10C higher that T1. Notice that the area under the T2 curve to the right of the Activation Energy is about twice the area under the T1 curve. This means that the number of molecules with sufficient KE at T2 is about double the number of molecules with sufficient KE at T1. Note - if Activation Energy or ME is near the middle of the curve (or left side) - reaction is already fast, so an increase in temperature has a less drastic effect on the reaction rate.

When the Ea is low, there is not a great difference between the areas under each curve with energies greater than Ea. So when Ea is low, an increase in temperature has less effect.

Progress of Reaction Looking at the diagram above, you can see that at a higher temperature, a greater fraction of the molecules have sufficient energy to make it over the barrier. Therefore the reaction is faster. So if you study the graphs on the previous pages, you will see that: Increasing the temperature increases the fraction of molecules which have sufficient energy to form the Activated Complex (ie. sufficient energy to make it over the activation energy barrier.) This is one reason that increasing the temperature will INCREASE the rate of reaction. Also, NOTICE that a change in temperature does NOT change the Potential Energy diagram at all. Temperature does NOT affect the Activation energy or the !! Review the difference between Activated Complex and Activation Energy on the top of page 21 of SW.

Reaction Mechanisms
every long journey begins with a ______________________________ -Car building analogy lada In a chemical rx. eg.) 5C2O42- + 2MnO4- + 16H+ involves 23 reacting particles -chances of this taking place in one step are almost 0 even a 3 particle collision 2H2(g) + O2(g) probably doesnt take place in a single step. (1,000 times less probable than a 2 particle collision) Chemistry 12Unit 1-Reaction KineticsNotes Page 31 of 40 pages
Chemistry 12Unit 1-Reaction Kinetics--Notes Most reactions (other than simple 2 particle collisions eg. Ag+ + Cl- AgCl(s) ) take place in a series of simple steps. each step depends on the others before it Reaction Mechanism - the series (sequence) of steps by which a reaction takes place. cannot be determined by just looking at overall reaction. deduced through much study and research (up to years) you will not be asked to come up with mechanism from scratch. some mechanisms are known, many are yet to be discovered. Example (known mechanism) for the overall reaction: 4HBr + O2 2H2O + 2Br2
5 reactant particles. Doesnt take place in a single step! Mechanism (determined from lots of research) Diagrams step 1: step 2: step 3: HBr + O2 HOOBr (found to be slow) see p. 26 for AC & products (fast) see page 27 SW (very fast)
HBr + HOOBr HOBr + HBr
2HOBr
H2O + Br2
- Each step is called an Elementary Process Rate determining step - the slowest step in the mechanism. the overall reaction can never be faster than the RDS the only way to speed up an overall reaction is to speed up the RDS (eg. by increasing. the concentration of a reactant in the RDS) eg.) in this case, increasing [HBr] or [O2] would speed up Step 1 (the RDS) and hence the overall rate. - speeding up a fast step (not RDS) will have no effect on the overall rate. (eg. adding HOOBr or HOBr has no effect)

Determining overall reaction given steps (mechanism) - cancel stuff which is identical on both sides - add up whats left. eg.) 1.) 2.) 3.) overall rx: eg.) 1.) 2.) 3.) HBr O2 HOOBr HBr + HOOBr 2HOBr 2HBr + 2HOBr 2H2O + 2Br2 +

this is the overall reaction
Another Example: Consider the following reaction for the formation of HCl in the presence of light. Cl2 + CHCl3 HCl + CCl4 The following is the proposed reaction mechanism: Step 1: Cl2 Cl + Cl Step 2: Step 3: Cl + CCl3 CCl4 Chemistry 12Unit 1-Reaction KineticsNotes Page 33 of 40 pages

Reaction intermediate
-a species (atom, molecule or ion) which is produced in one step and used up in a later step. (appears on right & also lower on left) eg.) 1) 2) 3) For the mechanism: HBr + O2 HOOBr HBr + HOOBr 2HOBr 2HBr + 2HOBr 2H2O + 2Br2 intermediates are Notes: an intermediate doesnt accumulate (like a product) because as soon as it is formed, it gets used up again (like money) intermediates are not necessarily unstable. (in other circumstances, they may last a while) an activated complex is very unstable and short-lived. It doesnt usually obey bonding rules.

Notes energy required (Ea) is less with the catalyst, so at the same temperature, more molecules can make it over the barrier so reaction rate speeds up (eg. lower standards for a pass, eg. 30% will let more students pass!) catalyzed reactions usually involve more steps but its highest Ea (highest bump) is never as high as the uncatalyzed reaction a catalyst NEVER changes the PE of reactants of products - only the route between them. (no change in ! ) uncatalyzed reaction still continues at its own slow rate when a catalyst is added. (usually insignificant compared to catalyzed rate) if catalyst speeds up forward reaction, it also speeds up (reduces Ea for) the reverse reaction.
