RATE OF REACTION

Definition Speed at which reactants are converted into products in a chemical reaction. Fast reaction; - time taken is short So, the reactants is quickly converted to the products. Thus, the rate of reaction is high/higher.

Slow reaction; - time taken is long So, the reactants is slowly converted to the products. Thus, the rate of reaction is low/lower.

So; What is the relation between rates of reaction with time? When the time taken is short, the rate of reaction is higher, When the time taken is longer, the rate of reaction is lower, Rate of reaction is directly proportional with 1/time Rate of reaction is inversely proportional with time Exercise: pg 3 Learning Task 1.1 Classification

Collision Theory Dear boys and girls to better understand of collision theory you must know few thing related to the theory which is; Collision Effective collision Activation energy Collision frequency Effective collision frequency Energy profile diagram * And also the chemical equation

What is the Collision Theory? During a reaction, the particles of the reactants must collide with each other, for bond breaking and then bond formation to occur to produce product. Bond breaking : absorb heat energy Bond formation : release heat energy Those collisions which achieved a minimum activation energy and with the correct orientation will result in a reaction. These collisions are called effective collisions. If the particles collide with less energy than activation energy or with wrong orientation, it will not result in reaction, is called ineffective collisions. So what is i. effective collisions? ii. activation energy?

Effective collisions Those collisions which achieved a minimum activation energy and with the correct orientation, will result in a reaction. Activation Energy Activation energy is the energy barrier that must be overcome by the colliding particles of the reactants in order for reaction to occur

Activation energy is the difference in energy between the energy in reactants and the energy at the peak of curve

Exothermic Reaction Reactants Product Total Heat Higher Lower Energy Heat Energy Energy Energy during absorbs releases reaction during bond during bond breaking is formation is lower higher Thus; Heat changes = Heat Energy in product Heat Energy in reactant = - ve

Endothermic Reaction Reactants Product Total Heat Lower Higher Energy Heat Energy Energy Energy during absorbs releases reaction during bond during bond breaking is formation is higher lower Thus; Heat changes = Heat Energy in product Heat Energy in reactant = + ve The conclusion is; The reaction occur when reactants collide; a. achieved activation energy b. with correct orientation Any Question so far?

Base from the graph, please explain?

- Graph I is more steeper than graph II - Thus, the gradient of graph I is more than graph II - Thus, the rate of reaction for the experiment I is higher than experimen II Question: Why the total volume of gas is same? Answer: the number of mole of reactant is same

HW: draw graph figure 1.6pg10

Effect of Size When the size of fixed mass of solid reactant (name the reactant, CaCO3) is smaller, The total surface area per volume exposed to collision with other reactant (name the reactant) particles is bigger. Thus, the number of collision among the reacting particles at the surface of the solid reactants increases. Frequency of collission is higher. Thus, the number of collision achieved the activation energy to become effective collision is also increases. This lead to an increase in the FREQUENCY of EFFECTIVE COLLISION. Hence, a higher rate of reaction.

Effect of Concentration When the concentration of the solution of a reactant increases;

The number of particles per unit volume of the solution of the reactant also increases. Thus, the number of collision among the reacting particles increases. Frequency of collission is higher. Thus, the number of collision achieved the activation energy to become effective collision is also increases. This lead to an increase in the frequency of effective collision. Hence, a higher rate of reaction.

HW: draw graph figure 1.8 pg11 HW: draw graph figure 1.9 pg12 Effect of Temperature When the temperature of a reactant increases; The kinetic energy of reacting particles will increase, so the particles moves faster.

Thus, the number of collision among the reacting particles increases. Frequency of collission is higher. Thus, the number of collision achieved the activation energy to become effective collision is also increases. This lead to an increase in the frequency of effective collision. Hence, a higher rate of reaction.

Effect of Catalyst (Pg 13) Catalyst: a substance which alters the rate of chemical reaction while it remains chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction. Properties of catalyst;

Energy Ea

Reaction without catalyst Reaction with catalyst Ea : Activation energy without catalyst Ec : Activation Energy with catalyst
Product Reaction path

Ec
Reactant

When the catalyst is presence; The catalyst allows the reactian to take place through an alternative path which requires a lower activation energy. Thus, more collision among the reacting particles are able to achive the lower activation energy. Thus, the number of collision achieved the activation energy to become effective collision is also increases. This lead to an increase in the frequency of effective collision.

Hence, a higher rate of reaction.

Effect of Pressure When the pressure of the gas of a reactant increases; The number of particles per unit volume of the gas of the reactant also increases. Thus, the number of collision among the reacting particles increases. The frequency of collision is increase. Thus, the number of collision achieved the activation energy to become effective collision is also increases. This lead to an increase in the frequency of effective collision. Hence, a higher rate of reaction. HW: pg. 25 EPC no. 1, 2, 4
