Acid-Base Catalysis Properties Christmas! Kinetics Batteries Equilibrium Chemistry Lecture #10, p. 3 Review In Lecture 9, we discussed solutions Thermodynamics of solutions: ∆"!"#$ , ∆#!"#$ , and ∆$!"#$ Solubility, miscible, immiscible, saturated solutions Factors affecting solubility: polarity, temperature, pressure Henry’s law: solubility of gases in liquids Expressions for concentration Colligative properties: Boiling-point elevation Vapor-pressure lowering Ideal solutions, Raoult’s law Freezing-point depression Osmosis and osmotic pressure Chemistry Lecture #10, p. 4 Antifreeze Proteins (AFPs) “A class of polypeptides produced by certain animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria that permit their survival in temperatures below the freezing point of water.” —wikipedia.org Insect antifreeze protein, Tenebrio-type Unlike the widely used automotive antifreeze, ethylene glycol, AFPs do not lower freezing point in proportion to concentration. Rather, they work in a non-colligative manner. This phenomenon allows them to act as an antifreeze at concentrations 1/300th to 1/500th of those of other dissolved solutes. Their low concentration minimizes their effect on osmotic pressure. The unusual properties of AFPs are attributed to their selective affinity for specific crystalline ice forms and the resulting blockade of the ice-nucleation process.” —wikipedia.org Chemistry Uses kinetics instead of thermodynamics Lecture #10, p. 5 Today: Chemical Kinetics Why is this topic important? Thermodyamics tells us if “driving force” exists for a reaction or process Does the reaction/process lower the Gibbs free energy? But thermodynamics doesn’t say how fast the reaction or process is Too slow: takes billions of years! Too fast: explodes! Chemical kinetics describes speed of a reaction or process Obviously important if we are trying to make something Key parameters: concentration, time, temperature Kinetics also gives us information bout how reaction occurs Tells us about the “reaction mechanism” Insights gained can teach us how to optimize the reaction or process Chemistry Lecture #10, p. 6 Reaction Rate Chemical kinetics provides tools for describing a “reaction rate” So what is a reaction rate? Quantifies speed of a reaction Units: change in concentration of reactants or products M - 7 Reaction rate ≡ time interval s By convention, reaction rates are positive Consider: rate of appearance rate of disappearance reaction rate ≡ ≡ A B of B of A generic ∆[B] −∆[A] reaction = = ∆t ∆t Brackets denote concentrations in molarity, i.e. moles per liter Chemistry Lecture #10, p. 7 Average versus Instantaneous Reaction Rates A B We can consider two types of rates generic reaction Average reaction ∆[B] [B]t2 − [B]t1 Concentration of B at t2 minus at t1 t t rate over time = = interval t1 to t2 ∆t t2 − t1 If we let ∆t = t2 − t1 ⟶ 0, then we get: Instantaneous ∆[B] d[B] Using definition of the derivative reaction rate at = = time t ∆t ∆t ⟶ 0 dt Average and instantaneous reaction rates not typically the same! Chemistry Lecture #10, p. 8 Plot Concentrations versus Time A B Consider appearance of B Average [0.9] − M rate = = 0.09 over 10 s 10 s s Instantaneous d[B] rate = = local at time t dt slope t t In this case, instantaneous reaction rate is initially faster than slows Reaction rate slows as A disappears: less product produced with less A Chemistry makessense on howmuchreactant A is present If I In.laftasBwitesE.d Lecture #10, p. 9 But Curve Shape Depends on Specific Reaction C D Another example: Consider appearance of D Average [1.0] − M rate = = 0.1 over 10 s 10 s s Instantaneous d[D] local rate = = at time t dt slope t t For line, local slope is constant ∴ In this case, average reaction rate = instantaneous reaction rate What does this mean? Chemistry Lecture #10, p. 10 What Does This Mean? C D Reaction rate does not depend on [C] Clearly, this tells us something about this reaction! This is a reason for looking at such plots factory supplies cookies Analogy: cookie factory Black C Box D reaction How can cookie production not depend on supplies? Chemistry Reaction rate can also be independent of reactants T EE E t siti Lecture #10, p. 11 What Do Reaction Rates Tell Us? Reaction rates don’t just tell us how fast we can make products Also, teach us about how the reaction works! reaction Chemical reactions are initially “black box” C Black D Box Kinetics teaches us about what happens inside Knowledge is empowering! We can use this knowledge to make the reaction work better Or apply the reaction in a different way Chemistry in Lecture #10, p. 12 Abovewe introduced averageandinstantaneousreactionrates buttypically we justtalkaboutrate Whichdowemean Our Terminology Rate ≡ instantaneous rate at time t Initial rate ≡ instantaneous rate at t = 0 with stoichiometric For general reaction: $A + 'B → *C + ,D iii iii coefficients: !, #, $, and % Because of the stoichiometric coefficients, we need a convention: ! #$ ! #' ! #) ! #[$] Rate = − = −& = ( #% = " #% #% * #% ! #.! ! #."
