Stoichiometry Calculations

Stoichiometry involves using balanced chemical equations to determine the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
Key concept: mole ratios derived from the coefficients in balanced equations.
Calculations often involve conversion between mass, moles, and number of particles (atoms, molecules).
Steps for stoichiometric calculations:
- Write a balanced chemical equation.
- Convert known mass of reactant to moles.
- Use the mole ratio from the balanced equation to find moles of desired product.
- Convert moles of product to desired units (e.g., mass, volume).

Chemical Kinetics

Chemical kinetics studies the rates of chemical reactions and the factors affecting these rates.
Reaction rate is the speed at which reactants are consumed or products are formed. It's usually expressed as the change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit time.
Rate laws describe the relationship between reaction rate and the concentration of reactants.
Factors affecting reaction rates:
- Reactant concentration: Higher concentration usually leads to a faster reaction.
- Temperature: Increased temperature generally increases the reaction rate.
- Presence of a catalyst: Catalysts speed up reactions by providing an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy.
- Surface area (for heterogeneous reactions): Larger surface area usually leads to a faster reaction.
Rate laws are often determined experimentally.
Rate constants (k) are specific to each reaction at a particular temperature.
Reaction order: The sum of the exponents in a rate law.
- Zero order reactions have a rate independent of reactant concentration.
- First order reactions have a rate directly proportional to the concentration of one reactant.
- Second order reactions have a rate proportional to the square of the concentration of one reactant or the product of the concentrations of two reactants.
Reaction mechanisms describe the individual steps (elementary reactions) that make up a complex reaction.
Activation energy (Ea): The minimum energy required for a reaction to occur.
Transition state: The high-energy intermediate state during a reaction.
Collision theory explains reaction rates in terms of collisions between reactant molecules.
Factors affecting collision effectiveness:
- Collision frequency: Higher frequency increases the reaction rate.
- Collision energy: The collision must have enough energy to overcome the activation energy barrier.
- Collision orientation: Correct orientation of colliding particles is needed for reaction.
Integrated rate laws allow us to determine concentrations of reactants or products as a function of time.
