18.1 Rates of Reaction The heat given off by the corrosion reaction of an ironmagnesium alloy with salt water can produce a hot meal. The rate of reaction is increased by adding salt water, so heat is produced rapidly. You will learn some ways in which the rate of a reaction can be increased. Slide 1 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 18.1 Rates of Reaction > Collision Theory Collision Theory How is the rate of a chemical change expressed? In chemistry, the rate of chemical change, or the reaction rate, is usually expressed as the amount of reactant changing per unit time. Slide 2 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 18.1 Rates of Reaction > Collision Theory A rate is a measure of the speed of any change that occurs within an interval of time. Slide 3 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 18.1 Rates of Reaction > Collision Theory Rates of chemical reactions are often measured as a change in the number of moles during an interval of time. Slide 4 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 18.1 Rates of Reaction > Collision Theory Effective Collision According to collision theory, atoms, ions, and molecules can react to form products when they collide with one another, provided that the colliding particles have enough Slide kinetic energy and have the proper orientation. 5 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 18.1 Rates of Reaction > Collision Theory Ineffective Collision Slide 6 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 18.1 The minimum energy that colliding particles must have in order to react is called the activation energy. An activated complex is an unstable arrangement of atoms that forms momentarily at the peak of the activation-energy barrier. The activated complex is sometimes called the transition state. 18.1 Factors affecting The rate of a chemical reaction depends upon Reaction Rates What four factors influence the rate of a chemical reaction? • temperature, • concentration, • particle size, • the use of a catalyst.

You will learn how reaction conditions can influence the yield of a chemical reaction. Activities: •POGIL and Lab on Equilibrium and Le Chatelier’s principle •Animations on collision theory and equilibria Slide 19 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show A reversible reaction is one in which the conversion of reactants to products and the conversion of products to reactants occur simultaneously. When the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, the reaction has reached a state of balance called chemical equilibrium. The relative concentrations of the reactants and products at equilibrium constitute the equilibrium position of a reaction. At chemical equilibrium, no net change occurs in the actual concentration of the reactants and products – i.e. concentrations are constant. (Note this does not mean that the concentration of reactants and products are equal – avoid this common mistake). Reversible Reactions How do the amounts of reactants and products change in a chemical system at equilibrium? If the rate of the shoppers going up the escalator is equal to the rate of the shoppers going down, then the number of shoppers on each floor remains constant, and there is an equilibrium. At chemical equilibrium, no net change occurs in the actual amounts or concentration of the reactants and products. Reversible Reactions SO3 decomposes to SO2 and O2 SO2 and O2 react to give SO3 At equilibrium, all three types of molecules are present. Slide 22 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show Reversible Reactions Slide 23 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 18.2 The French chemist Le Châtelier proposed what has come to be called Le Châtelier’s principle: If a stress is applied to a system in dynamic equilibrium, the system changes in a way that relieves the stress. Three stresses can cause a change in the equilibrium position of a chemical system? • changes in the concentration of reactants or products, • changes in temperature, • changes in pressure (for equilibria involving gases).
