Topics in Chemical Kinetics

1

1. Rate of a Chemical Reaction

  • Rate of reaction means the change in concentration of reactant or product per unit time.
  • Rate can be written as rate of disappearance of reactant or rate of appearance of product.
  • Average rate is measured over a time interval and cannot predict the rate at one exact instant.
2

2. Rate Law, Rate Constant, and Order of Reaction

  • Rate law is the relation between rate and concentrations of reactants raised to powers.
  • The powers in the rate law are determined experimentally and may or may not match stoichiometric coefficients.
  • Rate constant k is the proportionality constant in the rate law.
3

3. Elementary Reactions, Complex Reactions, Molecularity, and Rate Determining Step

  • An elementary reaction takes place in one step.
  • A complex reaction occurs through a sequence of elementary steps, called a mechanism.
  • Molecularity is the number of reacting species colliding simultaneously in an elementary reaction.
4

4. Integrated Rate Equations and Half-Life

  • Integrated rate equations connect concentration and time directly.
  • Zero order reactions show a linear decrease of concentration with time.
  • First order reactions show exponential decay of concentration with time.
