Revision Notes on Chemical Kinetics
 
Rate of Reaction:
 
• Rate of change of extent of reaction is the rate of reaction.
• Rate of reaction is positive for product and negative for reactant.
• For reaction aA →bB
Rate =1/b(Δ*B+/ Δ t) = -1/a (Δ [A]/ Δt)
• It goes on decreasing as the reaction progress due to decrease in the concentration(s) of the reactant(s).
NEET Chemistry Chemical Kinetics Revision Notes
 
• Unit of rate of reaction : mol L-1 s-1
• The rate measured over a long time interval is called average rate and the rate measured for an infinitesimally small time interval is called instantaneous rate.
• In a chemical change, reactants and products are involved. As the chemical reaction proceeds, the concentration of the reactants decreases, i.e., products are produced.
• The rate of reaction (average rate) is defined as the change of concentration of any one of its reactants (or products) per unit time.
 
Order of Reaction
 
For reaction aA + bB + ….. → cC+ ….
R ∝[A]m[B]n or R = k[A]m[B]n….
Where m and n may or may not be equal to a & b.
m is order of reaction with respect to A and n is the order of reaction with respect to B.
m + n +… is the overall order of the reaction.
 
Elementary Reaction:
 
• It is the reaction which completes in a single step.
• A reaction may involve more than one elementary reactions or steps also.
• Overall rate of reaction depends on the slowest elementary step and thus it is known as rate determining step.
 
Molecularity of Reaction:
 
• Number of molecules taking part in an elementary step is known as its molecularity.
• Order of an elementary reaction is always equal to its molecularity.
• Elementary reactions with molecularity greater than three are not known because collisions in which more than three particles come together simultaneously are rare.
 
Differential and Integrated Rate Laws:
 
Zero Order Reactions:
NEET Chemistry Chemical Kinetics Revision Notes1
 
Examples:
• Enzyme catalyzed reactions are zero order with respect to substrate concentration.
• Decomposition of gases on the surface of metallic catalysts like decomposition of HI on gold surface.
NEET Chemistry Chemical Kinetics Revision Notes2
 
Pseudo First Order Reactions:
 
These are the reactions in which more than one species is involved in the rate determining step but still the order of reaction is one.
 
Examples:
• Acid hydrolysis of ester: CH3COOEt + H3O+ →CH3COOH + EtOH
• Inversion of cane sugar:
NEET Chemistry Chemical Kinetics Revision Notes3
 
• Decomposition of benzenediazonium halides C6H5N=NCl +H2O → C6H5OH +N2 +HCl
 
Half – Life of a nth Order Reaction:
 
kt1/2 = (2n-1-1)/(n-1)[A0]n-1
Where, n = order of reaction ≠1
 
Parallel Reactions:
 
The reactions in which a substance reacts or decomposes in more than one way are called parallel or side reactions.
 
NEET Chemistry Chemical Kinetics Revision Notes4
 
This means that irrespective of how much time is elapsed, the ratio of concentration of B to that of C from the start (assuming no B and C in the beginning ) is a constant equal to k1/k2.
NEET Chemistry Chemical Kinetics Revision Notes5
 
 
Sequential Reactions:
 
This reaction is defined as that reaction which proceeds from reactants to final products through one or more intermediate stages. The overall reaction is a result of several successive or consecutive steps.
NEET Chemistry Chemical Kinetics Revision Notes6
 
Arrhenius Equation:
 
k = A exp(-Ea/RT)
Where, k = Rate constant
A = pre-exponential factor
Ea = Activation energy
 
Temperature Coefficient:
 
The temperature coefficient of a chemical reaction is defined as the ratio of the specific reaction rates of a reaction at two temperature differing by 10oC.
 
μ = Temperature coefficient= k(r+10)/kt
 
Let temperature coefficient of a reaction be ' μ ' when temperature is raised from T1 to T2; then the ratio of rate constants or rate may be calculated as

NEET Chemistry Chemical Kinetics Revision Notes8
 
Its value lies generally between 2 and 3.
 
Collision Theory of Reaction Rate
 
• A chemical reaction takes place due to collision among reactant molecules.
• The number of collisions taking place per second per unit volume of the reaction mixture is known as collision frequency (Z).
• The value of collision frequency is very high, of the order of 1025 to 1028 in case of binary collisions.
• Every collision does not bring a chemical change.
• The collisions that actually produce the products are effective collisions.
• The effective collisions which bring chemical change are few in comparison to the form a product are ineffective elastic collisions, i.e., molecules just collide and
• disperse in different directions with different velocities.
• For a collision to be effective, the following two barriers are to be cleared.
1. Energy Barrier
2. Orientation Barrier
 
Radioactivity:
 
All radioactive decay follow 1st order kinetics
For radioactive decay A ->B
-(dNA/dt) =l NA
Where, l = decay constant of reaction
NA = number of nuclei of the radioactive substance at the time when rate is calculated. Arrhenius equation is not valid for radioactive decay.
