we’re going to look at the factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions: temperature,
concentration and particle size. Before we can understand how these factors affect the
rate of reaction we need to cover the theory behind reactions, known as collision theory.
Reminder of what is atom- (From the word atomos which means uncuttable/indestructible)
For a chemical change to take place or for 2 molecules to combine a simple collision is not
enough.
Max Trautz and William Lewis in 1916 proposed the collision theory
Energy- definition
(theres what we call activation energy the minimum energy or speed needed of particles to
combine together
Reactants: Imagine you have some ingredients before you start cooking. These are your
reactants.
Activation Energy: To start cooking, you need to turn on the stove. This is like the energy
needed to get the reaction going.
Products: After cooking, you have a finished meal. These are your products.
Example
The collision itself isn’t all that’s needed for a reaction to occur.
(What are the other conditions needed according to Collision Theory)
The particles also need to have enough energy and speed
sufficient energy which we call the activation energy and if they collide with less energy
than this then nothing will happen
Even if the particles collide with sufficient speed, if they aren’t at the correct angle, a
reaction won’t happen.
In this example of Nitrogen monoxide and ozone,
the reaction didn’t occur because the oxygen of each molecule touched during the collision.
In this collision of the same two molecules,
the nitrogen touches an oxygen and the reaction occurs, making oxygen and nitrogen
dioxide. The orientation was correct, so the reaction
could occur.
Temperature
Think of boiling water. When you heat it, the water molecules move faster and turn into
steam more quickly.
Particle Size
If you crush a sugar cube into powder, it dissolves faster in water than the whole cube
because the powder has more surface area.
2. **Energy Diagram**:
- The energy diagram below compares the reaction with and without a catalyst.
- The **blue curve** represents the energy profile of the reaction without a catalyst,
showing a higher activation energy.
- The **red curve** represents the energy profile of the reaction with a catalyst, showing
a lower activation energy.
3. **Key Points**:
- **Lower Activation Energy**: The catalyst provides an alternative pathway with lower
activation energy, making it easier for the reaction to occur.
- **Increased Reaction Rate**: With lower activation energy, more molecules have the
required energy to react, leading to more successful collisions and a faster reaction rate.
- **Catalyst Reusability**: The catalyst is not used up in the reaction and can be reused
multiple times.
Stoichiometry Explanation
Stoichiometry is the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions.
The quantitative relationships of reactants and product in chemical reaction.
So what does that mean and how we will understand mathematically how everything in
the equation relates to each other?
For Example:
H2 = N2 += NH3
Hydrogen + Nitrogen = Ammonia
Ang process na ito ay tinatawag na haber process which is usually used for fertilizers
More than half ng nitrogen sa katawan natin is from the food we eat na ginamitan ng
fertilizers that why this reaction is important
Pero guys in real word hindi lng tag tatlo or isa isa nga particles ang ginagamit naton
So ang coefficient simply tell us the ratios of what is going on in the chemical reaction.
We use very very large amount of molecules at the everyday BUT the ratios remain
constant. So no matter how many you have, it's always going to be with Haber reaction in a
three to one to two ratio.
Now letss talk about a laaarge amount of nitrogen
Ang hangin na gina breath natin every minute daw ay nag cocontain ng approxiamtely 600
billion trillion nitrogen of molecules which is equal to 6 x 10^23
Now Guys take a look sa last na linya
Ang Coefficient ay nagsilbing molar ratios
Ngauan may 3 moles ng hydrogen and 1 mole ng nitrogen results to 2 moles of ammonia
So the coefficients being ratios can represent any amount including molar amoutns
Coefficients are the Molar Ratios
So now na alam na natin kung ano jan ang molar amount
Itatry natin kung pano ito gagamitin sa ating calculations
This is always going to be the central calculation for any stoichiometry problem,
palagingtandaan na ang mole A na sa umpisa dapat nasa ilalim para macancel out then
ung B ung nasa taas para makuha natin ang value nga gusto naton mahanap
But there is problem with this daw, because we cant really know directly the amount of
moles we cannot count the amount of particles
But we can weigh the substances which we can convert into moles
So iexpand natin ang ating formula
And this will be our guide in a mass to mass stoichiometry problems that involves multiple
unit convesion
Moving on to the mass-mass stoichiometry
Lets have the example
Sa ating problem ang elecrtolysis is the decomposition where the water break down to its
elements: Hydrogen and Oxygen
Ang unang ste daw is to balance the reaction
Look closely balance ba ang reaction?
No. Because 1 lng ang oxygen sa left while 2 ang oxygen sa right
So to balance it maglalagay tau ng 2 sa harap ng H20 and dahil apat na ang hydrogen sa
right were going to add 2 sa harap ng hydrogen para tig apat sila
Pagkatapos mabalance, were going to calculate the molar masses of water
How? Were going to multiply the mols of each element to their respective masses of grams
from the periodic table (see the ppt)
In other words 1 mole of water is 18.02g
Kung nanotice nyo ang big 2 sa tabi ng h2o ay wala because coefficients in the balanced
reaction do not affect the molar masses
Dahil sa molar mass only 1 mole lng ng substance ang kinacalculate
In simple terms, percent yield tells us how much of a product we actually got from a
chemical reaction compared to how much we expected to get (theoretical yield). It’s like
checking how close we came to hitting a target.
Now alamin natin ano ba yang mga theoritical at actual yield na makikita sa formula ng
percent yield
3 ways to quantify chemical reactions:
When we say quantify: It’s about putting a number or value to something that can be
counted or measured.
Theoritical
Actual
Percent
Pero paano namn kung mas malai ang actual yield sa theoritical yield?
that’s actually a bigger problem because that means you made a mistake
It is imposible to make bigger actual yield tha n theoritica yield
