14.3 Reaction Mechanisms, Catalysts, and Reaction Coordinate Diagrams | General Chemistry

The rates of many atmospheric reactions are accelerated
by the absorption of light by one of the reactants. For example,
consider the reaction between methane and chlorine
to produce methyl chloride and hydrogen chloride:
Reaction 1: CH41g2 + Cl21g2 ¡ CH3Cl1g2 + HCl1g2
This reaction is very slow in the absence of light. However,
Cl21g2 can absorb light to form Cl atoms:
Reaction 2: Cl21g2 + hv ¡ 2 Cl1g2
Once the Cl atoms are generated, they can catalyze the
reaction of CH4 and Cl2, according to the following proposed
mechanism:
Reaction 3: CH41g2 + Cl1g2 ¡ CH31g2 + HCl1g2
Reaction 4: CH31g2 + Cl21g2 ¡ CH3Cl1g2 + Cl1g2
The enthalpy changes and activation energies for these
two reactions are tabulated as follows:
Reaction H 1kJ ,mol 2 Ea 1kJ ,mol 2

(b) By using the data tabulated here, sketch a
quantitative energy profile for the catalyzed reaction
represented by reactions 3 and 4.<img src="https://lightcat-files.s3.amazonaws.com/problem_images/da92311326d8dcff-1666277607896.jpg" alt="" />

The gas-phase reaction Cl1g2 + HBr1g2¡HCl1g2 + Br1g2
has an overall energy change of -66 kJ. The activation energy
for the reaction is 7 kJ. (b) What is the activation
energy for the reverse reaction?

Based on the following reaction profile, how many
intermediates are formed in the reaction A¡C?
How many transition states are there? Which step,
A¡B or B¡C, is the faster? For the reaction
A¡C, is ΔE positive, negative, or zero? [Section 14.6]

(b) Write structural formulas for all species present at reaction
stages 1–5. Identify each species as a reactant, product,
catalyst, intermediate, or transition state.

has been suggested for this reaction:

Step 2 H3C“CH2+ + Cl - ¡H3C¬CH2Cl

been measured for the reaction 
H21g2 + CO21g2S H2O1g2 + CO1g2

suggest a plausible structure for the transition state.

The decomposition of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), 
NaHCO31s2, into Na2CO31s2, H2O1l2, and CO21g2 at constant 
pressure requires the addition of 85 kJ of heat per two moles of 
NaHCO3. (b) Draw an enthalpy diagram for the reaction.

Intro to Chemical Kinetics

Chemical Kinetics is the study of factors affecting reaction rates, which examines the speed by which reactants are consumed to make products.

Average Rate of Reaction

Average (General) Rate is the change in the concentration of a compound over a period of time.

Arrhenius Equation

The Arrhenius Equation&nbsp;illustrates the temperature dependence of the rate constant k.&nbsp;

Rate Law

Rate Law represents an equation for a chemical reaction that connects the reaction rate with the concentrations or pressures of the reactants and the rate constant.&nbsp;

Factors Influencing Rates

There are 4 major factors that directly influence how fast or slow a reaction proceeds.

Stoichiometric Rate Calculations

When the rate of one compound is know, the rate of another compound is calculated through rate-to-rate comparison.

According to Collision Theory:chemical reaction is successful when 2 energetic reactants successfully collide.

Integrated Rate Law

When we include the variable of time to our Rate Law then we obtain the Integrated Rate Laws.&nbsp;

Catalyst

Catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of reaction by lowering the Activation Energy (Ea) of a reaction.

Instantaneous Rate

<div title="Page 1">&nbsp;Instantaneous Rate is the rate a reaction at any particular point in time.</div>

Reaction Mechanism

<div title="Page 1">A Reaction Mechanism is a step-by-step sequence of elementary steps by which an overall chemical change occurs.</div>

Half-Life

Half-Life is the time it takes for half&nbsp;of a reactant to decay in a certain time period.

Energy Diagram represents a curved plot illustrating the energies of reactants, products and transition states of a reaction.
