Kinetics
Kinetics
• Chemical Kinetics is the study of the
rate at which a chemical process
occurs.
• Besides information about the speed at
which reactions occur, kinetics also
sheds light on the reaction mechanism
(exactly how the reaction occurs).

Chemical
Kinetics
Factors That Affect Reaction Rates
• Physical State of the Reactants
In order to react, molecules must come in
contact with each other. If the reaction is
happening between a solid and a liquid it
will react only on the surface.
The more homogeneous the mixture of
reactants, the faster the molecules can
react.

Chemical
Kinetics
Factors That Affect Reaction Rates
• Concentration of Reactants
As the concentration of reactants increases,
so does the likelihood that reactant
molecules will collide.
PDFCreatedwithdeskPDFPDFWriter-Trial::http://www.docudesk.com

Chemical
Kinetics
Factors That Affect Reaction Rates
• Temperature
At higher temperatures, reactant
molecules have more kinetic energy,
move faster, and collide more often and
with greater energy.

Chemical
Kinetics
Factors That Affect Reaction Rates
• Presence of a Catalyst
Catalysts speed up reactions by
changing the mechanism of the
reaction.
Catalysts are not consumed during
the course of the reaction.

Reaction Rates
Rates of reactions can be determined by
monitoring the change in concentration of
either reactants or products as a function of
time.

there are fewer

reactant molecules.

over time.
• Therefore, the best
indicator of the rate of a

instantaneous rate near

What we’re after in kinetics
• We want to be able to understand and predict how much reactants
remain (or products get formed) in a certain amount of time
• Change with time is rate
• Rate means calculus must be used, so we need to be careful which
rate we are talking about
• We will use instantaneous rate at the start of a reaction (initial rate)
• Several factors affect the rate of a reaction
Initial concentration
Temperature
Amount of reactant exposed (surface area)
Presence of a catalyst
• A theory (equations) that predicts kinetics must explain these

Key points about kinetics so far
• Study the vocabulary
• Reaction rate has weird units
• Be clear whether you are talking about average reaction rate or
instantaneous reaction rate
• The equations which we will study all talk about instantaneous
reaction rate, most easily measured at the beginning of a
reaction (initial rate)
• Relating rates at which products appear (+) and reactants
disappear (-) has to do with inverse stoichiometric coefficients
• Reaction rate depends on several factors: initial concentration,
temperature, surface area of reactants exposed, presence of a
catalyst

Consider a reaction for which rate = k[A][B]2. Each of the following boxes represents a
reaction mixture in which A is shown as red spheres and B as purple ones. Rank these mixtures in order of
increasing rate of reaction.
Each box contains 10 spheres. The rate law indicates that in this case [B] has
a greater influence on rate than [A] because B has a higher reaction order.
Hence, the mixture with the highest concentration of B (most purple spheres)
should react fastest. This analysis confirms the order 2 < 1 < 3.

Answer:
The rate of the reaction in Equation 14.9 is first order in N2O5 and first order
overall. The reaction in Equation 14.10 is first order in CHCl3 and one-half

Change in Concentration with Time
From the rate law we can calculate the rate of the
reaction if we know the the rate constant and the
reactant concentration
Rate = k [A]

us what the concentration of reactants and products
are at any time during the reaction.

Each of the following boxes represents a reaction mixture in which A is shown as red spheres and B as purple ones. Rank these mixtures in order of increasing rate of reaction. Each box contains 10 spheres. The rate law indicates that in this case [B] has a greater influence on rate than [A] because B has a higher reaction order.
