SI Unit of Rate of Chemical Reaction Is (Mol/litre) /sec and in Gaseous State Its SI Unit

The document discusses chemical kinetics, which is the branch of chemistry that deals with the rates of chemical reactions. It defines the rate of a chemical reaction as the change in concentration of reactants or products per unit time. The rate can be expressed as the change in concentration of either reactants or products over a change in time. Several factors can influence the rate of a reaction, including the nature and state of the reactants, the concentration of reactants, temperature, pressure, and the presence of a catalyst.

CHAPTER 4 TH CHEMISTRY CLASS 12 TH

Chemical Kinetics: “kinetics” is derived from the Greek word ‘kinesis’ meaning
movement.
It is the branch of chemistry, which deals with the study of the rates of chemical
reactions, their affecting factors and their mechanism.
The main points consider during chemical reactions:
(i) The feasibility of a chemical reaction, which is, depend on the value of
Gibbs free energy.
(ii) The extent to which a reaction will proceed can be determined from the
chemical equilibrium
(iii) The speed of a reaction i.e. time taken by a reaction to reach equilibrium.

In a chemical reaction, at the macroscopic level, the amounts reacted or formed and
the rates of their consumption or formation are observed. At the molecular level, the
reaction mechanisms involving orientation and energy of molecules undergoing
collisions are observed.

Rate of Chemical reaction: The rate at which the concentration of reactant or


product participating in a chemical reaction changes. i.e change in concentration per
unit time. Reactant (R) → Product.

Rate of reaction = change in concentration/ time. (mol/litre)/time

Rate (r) = - [∆R]/ ∆t = + [∆P]/ ∆t


This is also known as average rate of chemical reaction.

{where, [∆R] = R2- R1, [∆P] = P2- P1, ∆t = t2- t1 and [∆R] represents the change in
concertation of reactant, [∆P] represents the change in concertation of product, ∆t
represents the change in time. Here negative sign with [∆R] indicated that its conc.
decreases w.r.t time while positive sign with [∆P] indicated that its conc. increase
w.r.t time}.

SI unit of rate of chemical reaction is (mol/litre)/sec and in gaseous state its SI unit
is atm/sec.

Instantaneous Rate: It is rate of change of concentration of any one of the reactants


or products at a particular instant of time. 
rint = - d[R]/ dt = +d [P]/ dt

Representation of the rate of reaction based on its stoichiometric coefficient


Let rxn : Hg(l) + Cl2 (g) → HgCl2(s), then
Rate of reaction = - [∆Hg]/ ∆t = - [∆Cl2]/ ∆t = [∆HgCl2]/ ∆t

Another Rxn: 2HI(g) → H2(g) + I2(g)


Rate of reaction = - 1/2[∆HI]/ ∆t = [∆H2]/ ∆t = [∆I2]/ ∆t

Factors Influencing Rate of a Reaction:


Nature, State of Matter, Concentration, Temperature, Pressure and Catalyst

Nature: Nature of bonding in the reactants and its type determines the rate of a
reaction. The ionic compounds react faster compared to covalent compounds.

State of Reactant: The rate of reaction is faster in gaseous state in comparison to the
liquid and solid one. Also the physical state like if a compound/ element is in
powdered form/amorphous form will react faster than its hard or solid form.

Concentration: When two or more reactants combine with each other, the molecules
of the respective reactants collide with each other to form the product. The collision
between the molecules increases with the increase in concentration of the reactants
and thereby increases the rate of reaction.
