14.1 Reaction Rates
Ch. 14: Chemical Kinetics
 Chemical Kinetics is the study of how fast
reactions take place.
 Reactions can be fast (reaction of sodium
metal with water) or very slow (rusting of iron).
 Why do you need to study kinetics?
 Drug delivery: time-release capsules
 Pollution control
 Food processing

Collision Theory
 Effective Collisions: molecules must collide
with sufficient kinetic energy and in the correct
orientation in order to make products.
Cl + NOCl → Cl2 + NO
Correct orientation to
facilitate reaction
An effective collision
results in reaction. 5

Collision Theory
 Ineffective collisions: incorrect orientation of
molecules will NOT result in the formation of
products; molecules will simply bounce off of
each other.
Incorrect orientation does
not favor reaction
An ineffective collision
results in no reaction.6

 Ea is different for each reaction.
 Reactions with low Ea are faster because more

Rates are related by coefficients. O2 will appear ¼ as fast as

 2 N2O5(g)  4 NO2(g) + O2(g)
 This is called the “rate expression”. We can use
this expression (or equation) to determine the rate of
each substance and the rate of reaction over a given
time period.

1) A rate law is an equation that is always defined in
terms of reactant concentrations, never products.
2) The exponents (orders of reactants) in a rate law
must be determined from a table of experimental
data.
rate = k[Br-][BrO3-]2
3) Comparing changes in individual reactant
concentrations to changes in rate allows you to
find the order of the reactant.
Now we can solve for the rate constant. How? What
information do we need to solve for k?

A balanced chemical equation does not indicate
how a reaction actually takes place.
Given elementary steps in a mechanism, we can:
A chemical reaction takes place through a series
of simpler steps called elementary steps
(typically 2 or more). These elementary steps
determine the step-wise reaction mechanism for
the overall reaction.
 Determine the molecularity of each step
 Write the overall (or net) equation
 Use relative rates (slow or fast) to identify the ratedetermining step
 Identify the intermediate (if it exists)
 Is produced and then consumed in a later step
 Identify the catalyst (if it exists)
 Is consumed and then produced in a later step

Multistep Mechanisms
Each step in a mechanism is defined by its molecularity:
