EMICAL KINETICS

is the branch of chemistry that studies reaction rates

and factors affecting rates. The speed of various
chemical reactions varies hugely. Some reactions are
very fast and others are very slow. They can range
from a fraction of a second to days or perhaps years.
 RATE OF
REACTION

is defined as the speed of a reaction. It is the amount

of time it takes for a chemical reaction to come to

completion, it is also called reaction rate. Reaction

rates are different for different reactions.

 ACCORDING TO
COLLISION THEORY

the speed of a chemical process is directly

proportional to the quantity of collisions between the
reactants. However, only those which collide
effectively will end in a chemical reaction.
FOR AN EFFECTIVE
COLLISION TO HAPPEN:

the subsequent conditions should met by the

reactants:

1. They need to be properly oriented when

they collide.

2. They need to be energetic enough to surpass

the activation energy or the energy barrier.
ACTIVATION ENERGY
(EA)
is the minimum collision energy
required for the reaction to takes
place. This energy is needed first to
break the bonds in the reactants and
then to form new bonds in the
product.
FACTORS AFFECTING THE
RATE OF CHEMICAL
REACTION
INCREASE IN THE
TEMPERATURE
When the temperature increases, molecules of
the reactants move faster. This causes more
frequent collision. This factor increases the
amount of effective collisions thus, increase the
rate of reaction. An example of this is the food
easily spoils than those food placed inside the
refrigerator.
 The greater surface area, the molecules
of the reactants can collide more
frequently, thereby leading to greater
INCREASE IN SURFACE number of collisions and a rise in
AREA OF THE SOLID reaction rates. So, given a solid reactant,
their effective collisions may be
REACTANT increased if the solid is finely divided to
get large surface area.
 REACTANT CONCENTRATION

The rate of reaction is affected by the concentration of reactants. When the

concentration is high, the molecules collide more often. These leads to the greater
number of effective collisions thereby resulting an increase in reaction rates. An
example of this is a concentrated muriatic acid is more effective in cleaning (i.e
removing stain) compared to diluted muriatic acid.
 PROPERLY ORIENTED MOLECULES
(NATURE OF REACTANT)

For collision of reactants to be effective, the reactants must be properly

oriented. Molecules must be oriented such that it favors reaction.
Properly oriented molecules lead to more successful collisions.

is a substance that increases the reaction rate without
being consumed by the reaction. It increases the rate
of the reaction by lowering the activation energy of a
reaction.
