Chemical reaction kinetics deals with the rates of chemical processes. Any chemical process may be broken down into a sequence of one or more single-step processes known either as elementary processes, elementary reactions, or elementary steps.

Rates of chemical reactions are usually defined by comparing the change in reactant or product concentration over time. We could measure the rate at which N2 and H2 are consumed and the rate at which NH3 is produced. Due to the stoichiometry of the reaction, the rate of N2 use will be 1/3 the rate of H2 use, and 1⁄2 the rate of NH3 production.

- Summary
To understand the physical factors that determine reaction rates.
After this chapter, you should be able to describe the factors that determine reaction rates. identify nucleophiles, electrophiles, and leaving groups. use arrow pushing to represent reaction mechanisms. draw and interpret reaction energy diagrams. draw transition states. write a rate expression for a simple chemical reaction and explain how the ra...
Energy is not distributed evenly among molecules in a system, and if you were to examine each individual molecule at any moment, you would find that some molecules have more energy than others. As a consequence, some molecules may have enough energy to react upon colliding, whereas others may not. As temperature increases, however, so does the prob...
Let us apply these concepts to the reaction of carbonic acid (H2CO 3) with water to yield bicarbonate and hydronium ion, as discussed in Chapter 3. The reaction mechanism is described using two arrows (Figure 3). One arrow points from the lone pair of electrons on the water molecule to a hydrogen atom on carbonic acid. This arrow conveys the idea t...
Figure 5 Each step of a multi-step reaction features a transition state Shown is the reaction energy diagram for a two-step reaction. Each step of the reaction corresponds to a particular transition state and has an accompanying value of ΔG‡. Multi-step reactions also feature intermediates, which are represented as local minima on the reaction ener...

the concentration of the reactants. The greater the ΔG‡, the lower the concentration of the transition state. Since chemical reactions proceed to product by going through the transition state, the rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the transition state at any given moment. Thus, the reaction energy diagram ...
The rate of a reaction is determined by the frequency with which reactant molecules collide and the probability that those molecules collide in the correct orientation and with enough energy to react. The rate at which molecules collide is influenced by reactant concentration, molecular velocity, and reactant cross-sectional area. Temperature incre...

Jul 24, 2024 · Step 1: write out the equation for calculating the rate of enzyme activity. rate = change ÷ time. In this case: rate = amount of substrate used ÷ time. Step 2: substitute in the known values and calculate the rate. rate = 15 g ÷ 2 hours. rate = 7.5 g / hr or 7.5 g hr⁻¹.
