Spontaneous and Nonspontaneous Changes Reaction Rates Molecular Collisions Energy Diagrams Factors Affecting Reaction Rates Chemical Equilibrium Factors that Influence Equilibrium
Spontaneous
Nonspontaneous
Energy can only be converted between forms. Bonds can be viewed as potential energy. Heat associated with a reaction is called
enthalpy.
!H
Exothermic
Reactants
Endothermic
Products
Energy
Products Since excess energy is released, the products are more stable.
Energy
Reactants
Additional energy is required so the products are less stable.
Enthalpy
This change in energy is called enthalpy.
!H = Hproducts - Hreactants
You must look at all of the reactants and products to determine the !H. !H > 0 reactants are more stable !H = 0 neither are more stable !H < 0 products are more stable This factor is only part of the picture.
!S = Sproducts - Sreactants
Things tend to break down and become more random.
Example
Which of the following would you expect to have a higher entropy? Rock Soil Adults bedroom Teenagers bedroom Ice Water Clouds Rain Pure Water Saline Old tired men Young dedicated students
Free energy - G
The maximum amount of energy that can be obtained from a reaction. The total change in free energy is then
Entropy
Stability gained from being random. Both affect how a reaction will proceed. We need a term that considers both factors.
!G = Gproducts - Greactants
At constant pressure
!G = !H - T !S
Gibbs
Free energy
The sign of !G tells us a lot about the reaction !G > 0 Not spontaneous, requires energy to occur. !G < 0 Spontaneous, will occur on its own, releasing energy. !G = 0 (!H = T!S) At equilibrium, no desire to go one way or the other - why reactions stop at some point.
Chemical kinetics
The study of reactions as a function of time. !G Only tells us if a reaction will occur but not how long it will take. Kinetics Measures the time required for areaction to occur. Example - Diamonds Less stable than graphite but very slow kinetics.
Chemical kinetics
Kinetics of a chemical reaction can tell us
Effective collisions
For reactants to make products They must collide.
Effective collision
Activated Complex
Energy diagrams
This type of plot shows the energy changes during a reaction.
Energy
!H
activation energy
Examples
High activation energy Low heat of reaction
Exothermic reaction
Catalysis
Catalyst A substance that changes the rate of a reaction without being used in the reaction. Provides an easier way to react. Lower activation energy. Still make the same products. Enzymes are biological catalysts. Inhibitor A substance that decreases the rate of reaction.
Catalysis
Types of catalysts Homogeneous - same phase Catalyst is uniformly distributed throughout the reaction mixture Example - I- in peroxide. Heterogeneous - different phase Catalyst is usually a solid and the reactants are gases or liquids Example - Automobile catalytic converter
Catalysts
Work by altering the mechanism of a reaction. The net effect is to reduce the activation energy.
Uncatalysed reaction
Catalysed reaction

All that matters is that the reaction goes from the reactants to the products. It does not matter how you get there.

Chemical equilibrium
A dynamic process on the molecular level achieved when concentration of reactants and products remain constant over time. for a physical process: H2O(l) (reactant) H2O(s) (product)
aA + bB
cC + dD
Keq =
[ ] represents the molar concentrations - mol/L Always put products over reactants and raise each to the power of their coefficients.
Le Chateliers principle
Any stress placed on an equilibrium system will cause the system to shift to minimize the effect of the stress.
You can put stress on a system by adding or removing something from one side of a reaction. N 2 + 3 H2 2 NH3
Le Chateliers principle
N 2 + 3 H2 2 NH3
[ NH3 ] 2 Keq = [ N2 ] [ H 2 ] 3
Adding ammonia - shift to left Adding nitrogen - shift to right
What effect will there be if you added more ammonia? How about more nitrogen?
O2 transport
Equilibrium equation
Hb + 4 O2
Equilibrium expression
KHb =
Hb(O2)4
O2 transport
In the lungs there is an abundance of O2 so: Hb + 4 O2 Hb(O2)4 Oxygen is picked up by the hemoglobin. When blood reaches the cells, there is a lack of O2 so: Hb + 4 O2 Hb(O2)4 Oxygen is given up by the hemoglobin.
Le Chateliers principle
Lets say that
KHb =
= 5.0 x105
KHb x [O2]4 =
[Hb(O2)4] [Hb]
Le Chateliers principle
If the solubility of O2 in blood at 37oC = 0.1M. (in the lungs) [Hb(O2)4] KHb x [O2]4 = = 5.0x105 x 0.14 [Hb] = 50 In the capillaries, the O2 level is about 0.001M so [Hb(O2)4] KHb x [O2]4 = = 5.0x105 x 0.0014 [Hb] = 5.0 x 10-7
Le Chateliers principle
Pressure will affect an equilibrium with gases as reactants or products. 3 H2(g) + N2(g) 4 mol of reactants 2 NH3(g) 2 mol of products
Increasing pressure causes the equilibrium to shift to the side with the least moles of gas.
Le Chateliers principle
Heat will also affect an equilibrium NaOH(s) Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) + heat
