Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate02:55

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate

90.5K
The Collision Theory
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...

Predicting Reaction Outcomes

11.3K
Kinetics describes the rate and path by which a reaction occurs. In contrast, thermodynamics deals with state functions and describes the properties, behavior, and components of a system. It is not concerned with the path taken by the process and cannot address the rate at which a reaction occurs. Although it does provide information about what can happen during a reaction process, it does not describe the detailed steps of what appears on an atomic or a molecular level. On the other hand,...

Le Chatelier's Principle: Changing Temperature

36.6K
Consistent with the law of mass action, an equilibrium stressed by a change in concentration will shift to re-establish equilibrium without any change in the value of the equilibrium constant, K. When an equilibrium shifts in response to a temperature change, however, it is re-established with a different relative composition that exhibits a different value for the equilibrium constant.
To understand this phenomenon, consider the elementary reaction:

Variation of Reaction Enthalpy with Temperature (Kirchhoff's Law)

134
In the realm of thermodynamics, Kirchhoff’s Law explains the variation in enthalpy of a reaction with changes in temperature. This law provides valuable insights into the behavior of substances under varying thermal conditions and allows scientists to predict enthalpy changes at different temperatures using standard enthalpy data.Enthalpy, a measure of heat energy in a system, generally increases with the temperature of any substance. This implies that both the enthalpies of the products...

Arrhenius Plots02:34

Arrhenius Plots

48.7K
The Arrhenius equation relates the activation energy and the rate constant, k, for chemical reactions. In the Arrhenius equation, k = Ae−Ea/RT, R is the ideal gas constant, which has a value of 8.314 J/mol·K, T is the temperature on the kelvin scale, Ea is the activation energy in J/mole, e is the constant 2.7183, and A is a constant called the frequency factor, which is related to the frequency of collisions and the orientation of the reacting molecules.
The Arrhenius equation can be used...
