  3. Experimental Chemical and Kinetics Reactions • Rates of chemical Reactions: • the rate of speed with which a reactantdisappears or a productappears. • the rate at which the concentration of one of the reactants decreases or of one of the products increases with time. • typically, mol L-1 s-1. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  4. The rates of reactions • Depends on composition and temperature of reaction mixture. • Definition of rate • as the slope of the tangent drawn to the curve showing the variation of conc with time ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  5. Rate of Reaction: A variable quantity • Rate of reaction is expressed as either: or [ Negative value ] [ Positive value ] ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  6. Consider a reaction: A + 2B 3C + D • Rate of consumption – (one of the reactants, A or B) at a given time is d[R]/dt, R is A/B. • Rate of formation – (products, C/D denotes as P) at a given time is d[P]/dt. • These rates are positive values. The +/- sign- indicate that conc is increasing/decreasing. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  7. From the stoichiometry: • Rate of reaction is related to rates of change of concentration of products and reactants • Undesirability of having different rates to describe the same reaction- using the extent of reaction, ξ. • vJ is the stoichiometric coefficient for species J. • Rate of reaction, r ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  8. For homogenous reaction the V can be taken inside the differential, [J]=nJ/V • For heterogeneous reaction, use the surface area (constant), A as substitution to V, σJ=nJ/A • Common units for r = mol dm-3 s-1 or related units for homogenous reaction • For heterogeneous reaction= mol m-2 s-1 ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  9. Example 1 • The rate of change of molar conc of CH3 radicals in the reaction 2CH3(g) CH3CH3(g) was reported as d[CH3]/dt= -1.2 mol dm-3 s-1 under particular conditions. What is (a) the rate of reaction (b) the rate of formation of CH3CH3? ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  10. Rate laws and rate constants • Rate of reaction is often proportional to conc of reactants raised to a power. r = k[A] [B] Each conc raised to first power. • k is the rate constant for the reaction • k- independent of conc but depends on temp. • Experimentally determined equation of this kind- rate law of the reaction ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  11. Rate law- an equation that expresses the rate of reaction as a function of conc of all species present in overall chemical equation r = f([A], [B],….) • Rate law is determined experimentally- cannot be inferred from the stoichiometry of balanced chemical equation. • Application of rate law: • To predict the rate of reaction from the composition of mixture • Guide to the mechanism of the reaction- for any proposed mechanism- must be consistent with the observed rate law. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  12. Reaction order • Many reactions are found to have rate laws of the form r = k [A]a[B]b……. • The power to which the conc of a species is raised in a rate law- the order of the reaction with respect to that species. • A reaction with rate law r = k [A] [B] is first-order in A and first-order in B. • The overall order of a reaction, second-order overall-the sum of the individual orders. • Some reactions obey zero-order rate law- rate that is independent of conc of the reactant. Thus, r = k ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  13. Integrated rate laws • First-order rate law is or [A] = [A]0e-kt Where [A]0 is the initial conc of A at t = 0 • If ln ([A]/[A]0) is plotted against t- first-order reaction will give a straight line of slope= -k. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  14. Half lives and time constants • Useful indication of the rate of a first-order chemical reaction- half-life,t1/2of a substance. • Half-life: time taken for the conc of reactant to fall to half its initial value. • Time for [A] to decrease from [A]0 to ½[A]0 in first-order reaction: kt1/2 = -ln = -ln ½ = ln 2 ∴ t1/2 = • Another indication of the rate of a first-order reaction- time constant, τ • time required for the conc of reactant to fall to 1/e of its initial value. kτ = -ln = -ln 1/e = 1 ∴time constant, τ = 1/k ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  15. Second-order reactions • Second-order rate law: • is or • Where [A]0 is the initial conc of A (at t = 0) • To plot a straight line for second order reaction- plot 1/[A] against t. the slope= k. • The half life for second order reaction is ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  16. Half-life of nth-order reaction • In general for nth-order reaction (with n > 1) of the form A  products, the half-life is related to the rate constant and the initial conc of A by ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  17. Zero-order, First-order, Second-order Reactions ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  18. Zero-order, First-order, Second-order Reactions ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  19. Zero-order, First-order, Second-order Reactions Zero order First order Second order ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  20. Example 2 (a) When [N2O5] =0.44M, the rate of decomposition of N2O5 is 2.6 x 10-4 mol L-1 s-1. • what is the value of k for this first-order reaction? (b) N2O5 initially at a concentration of 1.0 mol/L in CCl4, is allowed to decompose at 450C. At what time will [N2O5] be reduced to 0.50M? ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  21. Example 3 • The data of the above table were obtained for the decomposition reaction: A → 2B + C. • Establish the order of the reaction. • What is the rate constant, k? ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  22. Answer (Example 3) (a) Plot graph based on the data given in the Table. (b) The slope of the 3rd graph: ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  23. Determination of the rate law • Experimental data gives species conc at various times during the reaction. • a few methods to determine the rate law from experimental conc vs. time data. • Consider the following: r = k [A]a[B]b……. it is usually the best to find the order of a, b, … first and then the rate constant, k. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  24. Determination of rate law- half-life method • Applies when the rate law has the form r = k[A]n. then this equation and apply. • If n = 1, then t1/2 is independent of [A]0. If n ≠1, then gives: • A plot of log10 t1/2 vs. log10 [A] – gives straight line of slope = n-1. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  25. To use the half-life method for determination of rate law: • Plot [A] vs. t • Pick any [A] value, eg. [A]’ and finds the point where [A] has fallen to ½ [A]’. The time interval between this 2 points is t1/2 for the initial conc [A]’. • Pick another point [A]” and determines the t1/2 for this A conc. • Repeat this process several times • Plot log10 t1/2 vs. the log of the corresponding initial A conc and measures the slope. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  26. Example 4 • Data for the dimerization 2A A2 of certain nitrile oxide (compound A) is ethanol solution at 40oC follow: Find the reaction order using the half-life method ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  27. Method of Initial Rates • This simple method of establishing the exponents in a rate equation involves measuring the initial rate of reaction, ro for different sets of initial concentration. • Suppose we measure r0 for the 2 different initial A conc [A]0,1 and [A]0,2 while keeping [B]0, [C]o,… fixed. • With only [A]0 changed and with the rate law assumed to have form r = k[A]a[B]b…[L]l, the ratio of initial rates for run 1 and 2 is ro,2/ro,1 = ([A]o,2/[A]0,1)n

  28. Example 5 • The data of three reactions involving S2O82- and I- were given in the below table. (i) Use the data to establish the order of reaction: with respect to S2O82-, the order with respect to I- & the overall order. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  29. Example 5 (ii) Determine the value of k for the above reaction. (iii) What is the initial rate of disappearance of in a S2O82- reaction in which the initial concentrations are [S2O82- ] =0.050M & [I-]=0.025M? (iv) What is the rate of formation of SO42- in Experiment 1? ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  30. The temperature dependence of reaction rates • Chemical reaction begins with a collision between molecules of A and molecules of B. • Chemical reactions tend to go faster at higher temperature. • slow down some reactions by lowering the temperature. • Increasing the temperatureincreases the fraction of the molecules that have energies in excess of the activation energy. • this factor is so important that for many chemical reactions it can lead to a doubling or tripling of the reaction rate for a temperature increase of only 100C. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  31. Reaction rates: Effect of temperature • In 1889, Arrhenius noted that the k data for many reactions fit the equation: where A & Ea are constants characteristics of the reaction & R = the gas constant. • Ea – the Arrhenius activation energy (kJ/mol or kcal/mol) • A – the pre-exponential factor (Arrhenius factor). • the unit of A is the same as those of k. • Taking log of the above equation: ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  32. Reaction rates: Effect of temperature • If the Arrhenius equation is obeyed: • a plot of ln k versus 1/Tis a straight line with slope = (-Ea/R) and A is the intercept of the line at 1/T = 0. • This enables Ea and A to be found. • Another useful equation: (eliminate the constant A). • T2 and T1 - two kelvin temperatures. • k2 and k1 - the rate constants at these temperatures. • Ea – the activation energy (J/mol) • R – the gas constant (8.314 Jmol-1 K-1). ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  33. The activation energy, Ea: the minimum kinetic energy that reactants must have in order to form products. • The pre-exponential factor, A: a measure of the rate at which collisions occur irrespective of their energy. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  34. Reaction Mechanisms • The mechanism of reaction is the sequence of elementary steps involved in a reaction • Most reactions occur in a sequence of steps called elementary reactions. • A mechanism is a hypothesis about the elementary steps through which chemical change occurs. • A typical elementary reaction is H + Br2 HBr + Br • Chemical equation for elementary reaction: equation only represents the specific process occurring to individual molecules • Molecularity of an elementary reaction is the no of molecules coming together to react in an elementary reaction. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  35. Reaction Mechanisms • Elementary processes in which a single molecule dissociates (unimolecular) or two molecules collide (bimolecular) much more probable than a process requiring the simultaneous collision of three bodies (termolecular). • All elementary processes are reversible and may reach a steady-state condition. In the steady state the rates of the forward & reverse processes become equal. The concentration of some intermediate becomes constant with time. • One elementary process may occur much more slower than all the others. In this case, it determines the rate at which the overall reaction proceeds & is called the rate-determining step. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  36. Rate laws and equilibrium constants for elementary reactions • An overall reaction occurs as a series of elementary steps • These steps constituting the mechanism of reaction • This section consider the rate law for elementary reaction. • Consider a bimolecular elementary reaction A + B  products, the rate of reaction, will be proportional to ZAB, the rate of A-B collisions per unit of time. • ∴r for an elementary bimolecular ideal-gas reaction will be r = k[A][B] ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  37. For unimolecular ideal-gas reaction B products, fixed probability that any particular B molecule will decompose/isomerize to products per unit time. • The rate of reaction, r = k[B] • Similar considerations apply to reactions in ideally/ideally dilute solution. • In summary, in an ideal system, the rate law for the elementary reaction aA + bB  products is r = k[A]a[B]b, where a + b is 1,2 or 3. • For an elementary reaction, the orders in the rate law equal the coefficients of the reactants. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  38. Relation between the equilibrium constant for a reversible elementary reaction and rate constants for forward and reverse reactions. • Consider the reversible elementary reaction aA + bB⇌ cC + dD • rate laws for forward (f) and back (b) elementary reactions are rf = kf [A]a[B]b and rb = kb [C]c[D]d. • At equilibrium, these opposing rates are equal: rf,eq = rb,eq or kf([A]eq)a([B]eq)b = kb([C]eq)c([D]eq)d and • = Kc= kf/kb kf kb ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  39. (b) The rate-determining-step approximation • In rate-determining step approximation- reaction mechanism assumed to consist 1 or more reversible reactions that stay close to equilibrium during most of the reaction. • followed by relatively slow rate-determining step then in turn followed by 1 or more rapid reactions. • As an example: A⇌B⇌C⇌D where step 2 (B⇌C)- assumed to be rate-determining step. • For this assumption to be valid- k-1 >> k2 k1 k3 k2 k-1 k-2 k-3 ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  40. The slow rate of B  C compared with B  A – ensures that most B molecules go back to A rather than to C- ensuring that step 1 (A ⇌ B) remain close to equilibrium. • k3 >> k2 and k3 >> k-2, to ensure that step 2 acts as ‘bottleneck’ and product D is rapidly formed from C. • The overall rate is controlled by the rate-limiting step B  C. • Since we are examining rate of the forward reaction A  D, we further assume that k2[B] >> k-2[C]. • During early stage- the conc of C will be lower than B- this condition will hold. Thus, we neglect reverse reaction for step 2. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  41. The relative magnitude of k1 compared with k2 is irrelevant to the validity of the rate-determining-step approximation. • ∴ the rate constant k2 of the rate-determining step might be larger than k1. • However, the rate r2 = k2[B] of the rate-determing step must be smaller than r1=k1[A] of the first step. • This follows from k2<<k-1 and k1/k-1 [B]/[A] (the conditions for step 1 –near equilibrium). • For reverse overall reaction, the rate-determining step is the reverse of that for forward reaction. • For example: the rate-determining step is C  B. So, k-2 << k3 (ensures that step D⇌C is in equilibrium) and k-1>> k2 (ensures that B  A is rapid). ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  42. The rate determining-step approximation • The rate law for the Br- - catalyzed aqueous reaction H+ +HNO2 + C6H5NH2 C6H5N2+ + 2H2O is observed to be r = k[H+][HNO2][Br-] …..(1) A proposed mechanism is H+ + HNO2⇌ H2NO2+ rapid equilib H2NO2+ + Br-  ONBr + H2O slow ……(2) ONBr + C6H5NH2  C6H5N2+ +H2O + Br- fast Deduced the rate law for this mechanism and relate the observed rate constant, k in (1)to the rate constants in assumed mechanism (2). k1 k-1 k2 k3 ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  43. The second step in (2) is rate limiting. Since step 3 is much faster than 2, we can take d[C6H5N2+]/dt as = rate of formation of ONBr in step 2. therefore, the reaction rate is r = k2[H2NO2+][Br-] …..(3) (since step 2 is an elementary reaction, its rate law is determined by its stoichiometry. The species H2NO2+ in (3) is a reaction intermediate and we want to express r in terms of reactants and products. Since step 1 is in near equilib, gives: Kc,1 = k1/k-1 =[H2NO2+]/[H+][HNO2] And [H2NO2+] = (k1/k-1) [H+][HNO2] Substitute in (3) gives r = (k1k2/k-1)[H+][HNO2][Br-] k = k1k2/k-1 = Kc,1k2 ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  44. The steady-state approximation ka kb • Multistep reaction mechanisms usually involve 1 or more species that do not appear in overall equation. A  I  P • After an initial induction period,[I] will start at 0, rise to max, [I]max, and then fall back to 0. • During the major part of the reaction, the rates of change of conc of all reaction intermediates are negligibly small, therefore d[I]/dt = 0 for each reaction intermediate. • The steady-state approximation assumes that rate of formation of reaction intermediate = rate of destruction. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  45. Steady-state approximation • Apply steady-state approximation to the mechanism for H+ + HNO2 + C6H5NH2 C6H5N2+ + 2H2O Given in the preceding exercise to find the predicted law. Br- ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  46. To apply for rate-determining step approximation: (a) Take the reaction rate, r = rate of determining step (divided by the stoichiometric no srds of rate-determining step, if srds≠ 1. (b) Eliminates the conc of any reaction intermediates that occur in the rate expression obtained in (a) by using equilibrium-constant expressions. • To apply steady-state approximation: (a) Take the reaction rate, r = rate of formation of product (b) Eliminate the conc of any reaction intermediates that occur in (a) by using d[I]/dt = 0 to find the conc of each I (c) If step (b) introduces conc of other I, apply d[I]/dt = 0 to eliminate their conc. ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  47. The Hydrogen-Iodine Reaction H2 (g) + I2 (g) → 2HI (g) • Rate of formation of HI = k [H2][I2] • The hydrogen-iodine reaction is proposed to be a two-step mechanism [Sullivan J. (1967). J.Chem.Phys.46:73]. • 1st step: iodine molecules are believed to dissociate into iodine atoms. • 2nd step: simultaneous collision of two iodine atoms and a hydrogen molecule. (this termolecular step is expected to occur much more slowly – the rate-determining step). ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  48. The Hydrogen-Iodine Reaction 1st step: [Fast] 2nd step: [Slow] Net: • If the reversible step reaches a steady state condition: • rate of disappearance of I2 = rate of formation of I2 ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  49. The Hydrogen-Iodine Reaction • For the rate-determining step: Rate of formation of HI = k3 [I]2[H2] = K[H2][I2] (K=k1k3/k2) ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011

  50. Example 6 • The thermal decomposition of ozone to oxygen: 2O3 (g) → 3O2 (g) • The observed rate law: Rate of disappearance of O3 = • Show that the following mechanism is consistent with this experiment rate law. 1st: 2nd: ERT 108 – Physical Chemistry Semester II- 2010/2011
