Lesson – 7; Chemical Kinetics

Average Rate is defined as the change in
the concentration of the reactant
In a given interval of time.
Instantaneous Rate is defined as the rate
of the reaction of the particular
Instant.
INGRATED RATE LAW FOR FIRST ORDER
REACTION:
A reaction whose rate depends on the
rate of concentration of the
Reactant raised to the first power.
HALF LIFE PERIOD:
Half life period is defined as the time
required for the reactant concentration
To reach its one half of its initial
concentration.
INGRATED RATE LAW FOR ZERO ORDER
REACTION:
A reaction whose rate is independent of
the concentration of the reactant
Over a wide range of concentration.
PSEUDO FIRST ORDER REACTION:
A second order reaction is altered to a
first order reaction by taking one
Of the reactant in large excess.
ELEMENTARY REACTION:
Each and every single step in a reaction
mechanism.
MOLECULARITY:
The total number of reactant species that
are involved in an elementary
Steps.
COLLISION THEORY:
According to the chemical kinetics,
chemical reactions occur as a result
Of collision between the reacting
molecules.
ACTIVATION ENERGY:
The colliding molecules must possess a
minimum energy.
FACTORS AFFECTING THE REACTION RATE:
1. Nature and state of the reactant.
2. Concentration of the reactant.
3. Surface area of the reactant.
4. Temperature of the reactant.
5. Presence of the catalyst.
CATALYST:
 A catalyst is a substance which alters the
rate of a reaction without
Itself undergoing any permanent chemical
change.
