Study Notes

Reaction Rate

  • Reaction rate refers to how the concentration of reactants or products changes over time.
  • The rate law mathematically connects reaction rate and reactant concentrations.

Rate Law Expression

  • For the reaction aA + bBcC + dD, the rate law is rate = k[A]^m[B]^n.
  • k symbolizes the rate constant, a measure of how fast the reaction progresses.
  • m represents the reaction order focusing on A, and n represents the same for B.
  • m + n gives the reaction's overall order.

Methods for Determining Rate Laws

  • Initial Rates: Vary reactant concentrations and observe initial rate changes.
  • Integrated Rate Laws: Employ calculus to derive rate laws from experimental data.

Zero-Order Reactions

  • Rate Law: rate = k
  • Integrated Rate Law: [A]_t = -kt + [A]_0
  • Half-Life: t1/2 = [A]_0 / 2k

First-Order Reactions

  • Rate Law: rate = k[A]
  • Integrated Rate Law: ln[A]_t = -kt + ln[A]_0
  • Half-Life: t1/2 = 0.693/k

Second-Order Reactions

  • Rate Law: rate = k[A]^2
  • Integrated Rate Law: 1/[A]_t = kt + 1/[A]_0
  • Half-Life: t1/2 = 1 / (k[A]_0)

Reaction Mechanisms

  • Reaction mechanism defines a reaction's step-by-step process.
  • Elementary steps involve single (unimolecular), double (bimolecular), or triple (termolecular) molecule reactions.

Rate-Determining Step

  • The rate-determining step dictates overall reaction speed.

Arrhenius Equation

  • The Arrhenius equation (k = Ae^(-Ea/RT)) links rate constant, temperature, and activation energy.
  • k is the rate constant.
  • A represents the frequency factor.
  • Ea symbolizes activation energy.
  • R is known as the gas constant set at 8.314 J/mol·K.
  • T must be in Kelvin.

Activation Energy

  • Activation energy is the minimum energy needed for reactions.

Catalysis

  • Catalysts accelerate reactions without being consumed.

Catalyst Types

  • Homogeneous catalysts share a phase with reactants.
  • Heterogeneous catalysts differ in phase from reactants.
  • Enzymes catalyze biological processes.

Catalyst Function

  • Catalysts reduce activation energy, offering alternate reaction routes.
