Chemical Kinetics Study of the TIME vs RATE of Chemical Change CHEMICAL KINETICS DEALS WITH 1. How FAST {Speed like miles per hour} and 2. By what MECHANISM does a reaction happen? Part I How Fast (RATE) Does a Chemical Reaction “Go” ? What does the speed (RATE) depend upon? REACTION RATES • The change in the concentration of a reactant or product with time (M/s) for A → B ∆[A] ∆[B] Rate = − Rate = ∆t ∆t Rate disappearance = Rate of formation AFFECTS THE RATE 2A → B A disappears at twice the rate B forms Rate = - ½ ∆[A] = ∆[B] Rate disappearance ≠ Rate of formation For 2 N2O5 4 NO 2 + O 2 -7 If rate of decomposition of N 2O5 = 4.2 x 10 M/s What is the rate of APPEARANCE of (a) NO 2 ?
