Chemistry 12 - Notes on Unit 1 - Reaction Kinetics Reaction Kinetics /JCESoft/CCA/CCA0/MOVIES/NI3IOD.html - study of rates of rx. and the factors which affect the rates. (note: “rx” = reaction(s)) Expressing Rates rate = quantity of a product formed unit time or rate = quantity of a reactant consumed unit time in general: rate = ? amount (a reactant or product) ? time Note: A time unit is always in the denominator of a rate equation. eg.) Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) ( H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) r = ? mass of Zn r = ? [ HCl ] (note: [ ] = molar concentration) ? time ? time r = ? volume H2 ? time Do ex. 1-5 p.2 S.W. (SW is Hebden’s Student Workbook) Note - some rxs, when written in ionic form show that some ions don’t change concentration. eg. Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) ( H2(g) + MgCl2(aq) NOTE: To write an equation in IONIC FORM, dissociate all the aqueous (aq) compounds: ionic form : Mg(s) + 2H+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) ( H2(g) + Mg2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) (use ion chart) Write 4 possible equations which express rate. Calculations Involving Reaction Rates When doing calculations involving rate, amount (grams, moles, Litres etc.) use the general equation: Rate = ? amount (g, mol, L) or ? amount = Rate x ? time ? time (s, min) or ? time = ? amount Rate to help solve for what you need. ALWAYS use conversion factors to cancel units you don’t want and replace them with ones you do want! Eg.) 0.020 mol = ? mol min. s Solution: 0.020 mol x 1 min = 3.3 x 10-4 mol
