Kinetics

Equillibrium

Solute: A solute is the dissolved substance in a solution

Solvent: A solvent is the dissolving medium in a solution

C1V1 = C2V2; use if given two concentrations and one volume or vice versa

Moles of solution / Volume of solution = Concentration

Molar mass of compund x Concentration given / Density x Volume

Reaction Rate: The change in concentration of reactant or product per unit of time

([A] at time t2 - [A] at time t1) / t2-t1

Rate = Change in [A] / change in t

Can measure disappearance of reactants

Can measure appearance of products

Are proportional stoichiometrically

Are equal to the slope tangent to that point

Change as the reaction proceeds, if the role is dependent upon concentration

Rate Laws: express the relationship between the concentration of reactants and the rate of reaction ONLY REACTANTS

R = k [A]^x[B]^y

Only Aqueous or Gaseous Solutions

Rate Expressions

Reactants are always negative and products are positive

Symmetrical equation set equal to each other :

EX: A (aq) + B (aq) = C (aq)

  • change in [A] / change in t = - change in [B] / change in t = change in [C] / change in t

Orders

To solve for the orders of a reaction, you must first refer to rate Law and compare the data given.

For the compund, first you need to look at where the other compund is remaining constant and divide them as well as the rate

You set the answer to each other and and find the exponent

Factors

Increasing Temperature: increases the rate of a reaction

Increasing surface area: increases the rate of a reactions by more collisions

Increasing Concentration: USUALLY increases the rate of a reaction

Presence of Catalysts: lowers the activation energy by providing alternate pathways

Le Chateliers Principle

When a system at equillibrium is placed under stress, the system will undergo a change in such a way as to relieve that stress

Goes the other way where the stress in increased to equalize the reaction

Chemical Equillibrium

Reversible Reactions: A chemical reaction in which the products can react to re-form the reactants

When the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reversible reaction and the concentration of products and reactants remains unchanged

Product Favored Reactions

Large values for k signify the reaction is "product favored''; when the equillibrium, most reactant has been converted to products

Reactant Favored Reactions

small values for k signify the reactions is "reactant favored"; when equillibrium is achieved most reactant has been converted to product

Reaction Quotient: When the system is not at equillibrium the reaction quotient Q, takes place of K, the equillibrium constant in the law of mass action

When Q = K, the system is at equillibrium

When Q > K, the system shifts to the left, consuming products and forming reactants until equillibrium is achieved

When Q < K, the system shifts to the right, consuming reactants and forming products until equillibrium is achieved

Equillibrium Concentration

Set up expression and use the ICE table to solve the question

Set k = to the reaction quotient and solve for x
