Rate of Reaction C4H9Cl(aq) + H2O(l) C4H9OH(aq) + HCl(aq) • The average rate can be expressed in terms of the disappearance of C4H9Cl. • The units for average rate are mol/L.s or M/s. • The average rate decreases over time. • Plot [C4H9Cl] versus time. • The rate at any instant in time (instantaneous rate) is the slope of the tangent to the curve. • Instantaneous rate is different from average rate. • The instantaneous rate is usually the rate of reaction.
Important Factors that Effect Reaction Rates 1) Concentration: molecules must collide in order to react. The higher the concentration, the higher number of collisions. Rate = k (collision frequency) = k (concentration) k = rate constant 2) Physical state: molecules must physically mix in order to collide. The physical state (solid, liquid, gas) will affect frequency of collisions, as well as the physical size of droplets (liquid) or particles in the case of solids.(heterogeneous vs. homogeneous) 3) Temperature: molecules must collide with enough energy to react. (Activation Energy) Raising the temperature increases the K.E. of the molecules, the number of collisions and the energy of the collisions.
Reaction Rate Expression / Rate Law For a Chemical Reaction:aA + bB cC + dD A Rate Expression for this reaction could be written as: Rate = k [A]m[B]n . . . k = the reaction rate constant m & n are called reaction orders. They define how the rate is effected by the concentration of each reactant, for example, if the rate doubles when the concentration of A doubles, the rate depends on [A]1, so a = 1; if the rate quadruples when the concentration of B doubles, the rate depends on [B]2, so b = 2. Can a reaction order equal zero?

The Arrhenius Equation • k is the rate constant, Eais the activation energy, R is the gas constant (8.314 J/K-mol) and T is the temperature in K. • A is called the frequency factor. • A is a measure of the probability of a favorable collision. • Both A and Ea are specific to a given reaction.
The Arrhenius Equation • With sufficient data, Ea and A can be determined graphically by rearranging the Arrhenius equation: • With only two sets of data:

Ozone Kinetics Stratospheric ozone is very important. It absorbs short-wavelength (~ 3x10-7m) ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun which is one of the strongest mutagens.
