Introduction To Chemical Reaction Kinetics - 1

1. The document introduces reaction kinetics and discusses homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions, rate of reaction equations, and examples of zero, first, second, and third order reactions. 2. Rate equations are presented for homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions, with the rate of reaction defined based on changes in moles of a reactant or product over time and volume or mass of catalyst. 3. An example problem calculates the metabolic rate of a human in terms of oxygen used per cubic meter of person per second by considering the combustion reaction of glucose.

PROBLEM # 1:
A human being (75 kg) consumes 6000 kJ of food per day.
Assume the food is all glucose.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O; ∆H = -2816 kJ/mol.
Find man’s metabolic rate in terms of O2 used per m3 of
person per second. Density of human body is 1000 kg/m3.

SOLUTION: -ro2 = (1/V). (dNo2/dt) moles of O2/m3 of


person.s
V = 75/1000 = 0.075 m3
Rate of consumption of glucose:
dNC6H12O6/dt = 6000/2816 mol/day
dNO2/dt = 6000/2816*6 = 12.8 mol of O2/day.
-rO2 = (1/0.075)*12.8/(24*3600) = 0.002 mol of O2/m3.s

Molecularity
aA + bB → cC + dD
Molecularity is a + b; number of molecules of reactants
involved in the reaction; (from the stoichiometric
equation)
Molecularity – integer constants;
Order of reaction –real constants (determined
empirically/experimentally)
Elementary & Non-elementary reactions:
Rate equation: −𝒓𝑨 = 𝒌𝑪𝒎 𝒏
𝑨 𝑪𝑩
(m & n are order of reactions w.r.t A & B respectively)
Elementary reactions: The rate equation matches with
the stoichiometric equation.
If m = a; n = b  Elementary reaction
If not  Non-elementary reaction

1. Single Reaction – Single stoichiometric reaction and a
single rate equation are needed to represent the progress
of a reaction. e.g. C2H6 → C2H4 + H2

2. Multiple Reactions – More than one stoichiometric


reaction and more than one rate equation are needed.
(a) Parallel reactions:
(Rate constants k1 and k2)

Example:
(Ethylene oxide)
CH2=CH2 + O2
2CO2 + 2 H20

(b) Series reaction: A  B  C (Rate constants k1 and

E.O
(Ethylene  (OH-CH2-CH2)2NH (di-ethanolamine)
oxide) E.O
 (OH-CH2-CH2)3N (tri- ethanolamine)
