Chemistry 1B Fall 01 [more] Chemical Kinetics 1 kinetics and mechanism of reaction NO (g) + CO(g) ô NO(g) + CO (g) at T< 500K if the reaction was a collision between a NO molecule and a CO molecule one might expect for the differential rate law: dno [ ] kno [ ][ CO] but the observed rate of reaction is: dno [ ] kno [ ] You might ask? 1

NO (g) + CO(g) ô NO(g) + CO (g) at T< 500K answer: the above (stoichiometric) equation does NOT represent the molecular mechanism (molecular steps of the reaction) actually: the reaction takes place in two steps NO (g) + NO (g) ô NO(g) + NO 3 (g) NO 3 (g) + CO(g) ô CO (g) + NO (g) NO (g) + CO(g) ô NO(g) + CO (g) slow fast overall reaction 4
mechanism of the reaction NO (g) + CO(g) ô NO(g) + CO (g) overall reaction (T<500K) k slow NO (g) + NO (g) ô NO(g) + NO 3 (g) k fast NO 3 (g) + CO(g) ô CO (g) + NO (g) slow fast The two steps are the actual molecular processes by which the reaction occurs and is the MECHANISM the reaction They represent ELEMENTARY reactions The combination of elementary reactions must sum to the overall stoichiometry Species [e.g. NO 3 (g)] appearing in the steps of the mechanism, but not the overall reaction are REACTION INTERMEDIATES 5 how to get rate law from mechanism of the reaction T<500K k slow NO (g) + NO (g) ô NO(g) + NO 3 (g) slow k fast NO 3 (g) + CO(g) ô CO (g) + NO (g) fast rates for individual steps come directly from the stoichiometry of the ELEMENTARY reactions (HW#7 66) how to combine rates of elementary reactions to ge overall rate equation LOTS OF TRICKS (but we don t have time for many) our ONE example will be slow reaction followed by rapid reaction (like above reaction) 6 3
how to get rate law from mechanism of the reaction T<500K k slow NO (g) ô NO(g) + NO 3 (g) slow NO (g) + CO(g) ô NO(g) + CO (g) k fast NO 3 (g) + CO(g) ô CO (g) + NO (g) fast since these are ELEMENTARY reactions: dno [ ] dno [ 3] kslow[ NO ] dco [ ] k fast[ NO 3][ CO ] since k fast >> k slow as soon as slow reaction produces NO 3 the fast reaction occurs the total rate is the just the rate of the slow step total rate= k slow [NO ] ( nd order in NO, 0 th order in CO) from slide #: the observed rate of reaction is: d [ N O ] k [ N O ] 7 factoids about rate laws and mechanisms in general the rate law cannot be written in terms of the stoichiometric coefficients of the overall reaction the rate law for an elementary reaction IS determined by the molecularity (stoichiometry) of the individual step the overall rate law is obtained from combining rate laws of elementary reactions an overall reaction where the measured rate law and the stoichiometric coefficients match MAY or MAY NOT be an elementary reaction 8 4
the actual process of determining mechanism of a reaction does mechanism fit measured rate law? Ascertain stoichiometry and measure rate of reaction by initial rates or integrated rate expression yes no Use chemical smarts to propose ( invent ) steps of mechanism may be the correct mechanism other mechanisms may give same overall rate; use additional chemical experiments to verify try again Write rate laws for elementary reactions and combine rate laws to get differential rate expressions for overall reaction 9 DNA synthesizer kinetics and your thought Chem 1B kinetics was complicated!! 006 by National Academy of Sciences k on = 1. 10 7 M 1 s 1, k off = 0.06 s 1, k 1 = 1.5 10 7 M 1 s 1, k 1 = 50 s 1, k = 50 s 1, k = 3 s 1, k 3 = 9.5 10 5 M 1 s 1, k 3 = 100 s 1, k 4 = 150 s 1, k 4 = 40 s 1, k 5 = 100 s 1, k 5 = 9.5 10 5 M 1 s 1, k 6 = 4 s 1, k 6 = 4 s 1, k 7 = 60 s 1, k 7 = 1.45 10 4 M 1 s 1.)
