Reaction Kinetics and Chemical Equilibrium
- Reaction Rate:
- Measures how fast reactant or product concentrations change over time.
- Rate of change of [A]=ΔtimeΔ[A].
- Rate of reaction of A=−ΔtimeΔ[A].
- Instantaneous Rate: Determined from the slope of a tangent line to a concentration-time curve.
- Initial Rate: The rate evaluated at the instant reactants are brought together.
- Rate Law:
\n aA + bB + \dots \rightarrow gG + hH\n
\n \text{rate} = k[A]^m[B]^n\n
- Exponents (m,n) are the partial reaction orders and are determined experimentally.
- Overall order equals the sum of exponents (m+n+…).
- Rate constant (k) correlates reaction rate to reactant concentrations; larger k values indicate faster reactions.
- Integrated Rate Laws and Units of k:
- Zero Order:
\n [A]_t = -kt + [A]_0\n
- Units of k: Ms−1 or moldm−3s−1.
- First Order:
\n \ln[A]_t = -kt + \ln[A]_0\n
- Units of k: s−1.
- Second Order:
\n \frac{1}{[A]_t} = -kt + \frac{1}{[A]_0}\n

- Temperature Dependence of Reaction Rates (Arrhenius Equation):
\n k = A e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}}\n
\n \ln\left(\frac{k_2}{k_1}\right) = \frac{E_a}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T_1} - \frac{1}{T_2}\right)\n
- Equilibrium Constant (Kc or Keq):
- Significant quantities of both reactants and products coexist at equilibrium when Kc falls in the approximate range 10−10≤Kc≤1010.

- Qc>Kc: Net reaction shifts in the reverse direction (right to left).
- Le Châtelier's Principle:
- A system subjected to a change in temperature, pressure, or concentration shifts to relieve the applied stress.
- Mass-Action Effect: Equilibrium shift brought about by changing the concentration of a participating species.
- Electrolyte Effects and Activity:
- Salt Effect: Diverse inert salts increase ionic strength and shift equilibria toward greater ion formation.
