What's In
In the previous module, you have learned about how various factors influence the rate of
chemical reactions. You have also determined and differentiated the order of reaction based on
the rate law equation. Everything you learned about chemical reactions and how a chemical
reaction takes place is useful as you go through the lessons and activities contained in this
module.

Activity 1: React to the Max!

Direction: Place a  mark opposite a correct statement. If the statement is incorrect, write an X
mark and encircle the number, word, or phrase that makes it incorrect.

For Nos. 1 to 3 use the equation for a reaction: 2A + B → 2C

1. The rate equation is Rate = k[A]2[B]
2. The order with respect to A is 2 and with respect to B is 1.
3. The order of reaction overall is 3.
4. The rate of chemical reaction normally decreases when a catalyst is added.
5. Crushing a solid into a powder increases the reaction rate because of
increased concentration.
6. To increase the rate of a reaction, there must be an increase in the
frequency of successful collisions.
7. The average kinetic energy of colliding particles can be increased by
increasing reactant concentration.
8. The rate of a chemical reaction can be expressed in molarity per second.
9. For the reaction A + 3B → 2C, the rate of disappearance of B is 3/2, the
rate of appearance of C.
10. For the rate law of the overall reaction that is k[A][B]0, increasing the [B]
will increase the reaction rate

1
 The rate of reaction refers to the speed at which the products are formed from the reactants
in a chemical reaction. It gives some insight into the time frame under which a reaction can be
completed. It can be calculated by measuring changes in reactants and products. The rate at
which chemical reactions take place is affected by temperature, concentration, particle size and
the presence of a catalyst.
Rate laws or rate equations are mathematical expressions that describe the relationship
between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of its reactants. In general, a rate
law takes this form: Rate = k[A]m[B]n…in which [A] and [B] represent the molar concentrations of
reactants, and k is the rate constant, which is specific for a particular reaction at a particular
temperature. The exponents m and n are usually positive integers. The rate constant k and the
exponents m and n must be determined experimentally by observing how the rate of a reaction
changes as the concentrations of the reactants are changed. The rate constant k is independent
of the concentration of A or B, but it does vary with temperature and surface area.
The exponents in a rate law describe the effects of the reactant concentrations on the
reaction rate and define the reaction order. Consider a reaction for which the rate law is: Rate =
k[A]m[B]n. If the exponent m is 1, the reaction is first order with respect to A. If m is 2, the reaction
is second order with respect to A. If n is 1, the reaction is first order in B. If n is 2, the reaction is
second order in B. If m or n is zero, the reaction is zero order in A or B, respectively, and the rate
of the reaction is not affected by the concentration of that reactant. The overall reaction order is
the sum of the orders with respect to each reactant. If m = 1 and n = 1, the overall order of the
reaction is second order (m + n = 1 + 1 = 2).
How does a chemical reaction really take place at the molecular level?

 What Is It
THE REACTION PROCESS AND THE COLLISION THEORY

A balanced chemical equation does not show the actual and full details of a chemical
reaction. During a chemical reaction, atoms are rearranged, and a new substance (or substances)
is formed with different properties. The process involves the breaking and formation of bonds. The
reaction occurs not in a single step but in a series of steps. The reaction mechanism of a chemical
reaction is the sequence of actual events that take place as reactant molecules are converted into
products. Each of these events constitutes an elementary step that can be represented as a
coming-together of discrete particles ("collision") or as the breaking-up of a molecule
("dissociation") into simpler units. The molecular entity that emerges from each step may be a final
product of the reaction. It might also be an intermediate or an activated complex-- a species
created in one elementary step and destroyed in a subsequent step, and therefore does not appear
in the net reaction equation.
Collision Theory and Activation Energy

When cars moving at high speed collide

with one another, the result can be very
damaging. A high energy collision can convert a
functional vehicle into a pile of scrap metal and
spare parts. On the other hand, low energy
collisions (cars moving at a slower speed) might
just cause a scratch or a minor dent. Source: https://www.gograph.com/vector-clip-
Not all collisions are purely destructive. art/car-accident.html

You are probably familiar with the phrase, "You

can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs." Similarly, you can't cause a chemical reaction
without breaking some bonds. Most chemical reactions occur only when reactants successfully
collide with one another. However, not every collision leads to a chemical change. In order for a
reaction to occur, the reactants must collide in a certain relative orientation with enough energy
to break one or more chemical bonds.
Scientists offered a model known as the Collision Theory to explain how and why chemical
reactions take place. For a given hypothetical reaction shown below:

A2 + B2 → 2AB

In order for the reaction above to take place, the molecules of A 2 must collide with the molecules
of B2. Once the molecules of A2 come in contact with the molecules of B2, a short-lived molecule
A2B2 is formed. The bonds of A2 and B2 are broken, and new bonds are formed. The rearrangement
of atoms (and of bonds) will cause the formation of new substance AB. Initially, in a container filled
with the substances A2 and B2, no AB is present. Then molecular collisions proceed, and AB is
formed.
A2 + B2 → A2B2 → 2AB
Activated Complex

However, not all collisions of A2 and B2 form the product AB. Only effective or successful
collisions will result in the formation of a product. For an effective collision to occur, there
must be a proper orientation of the reactant molecules during the collision. If the collision
is not effective, products are not formed.
The A2B2 intermediate complex is a short-lived molecule, and therefore very unstable. Hence
the activated complex has the following characteristics:
(1) It is unstable because it is a short-lived molecule.
(2) It possesses high energy.
(3) It is the rate-determining step in a reaction.

4
 Both (a) F2 and NO2 molecules have insufficient energy although
correct orientation and (c) F2 and NO2 molecules have incorrect orientation
although with insufficient energy lead to no reaction. When (b) both reactant
molecules have sufficient energy and correct orientation the reaction occurs.
Source: https://alevelchemistry.co.uk/notes/collision-theory/

There are two conditions required for a chemical reaction to take place:
(1) Molecules must collide with sufficient kinetic energy to break and re-form existing
bonds, and
(2) Molecules must effectively collide with favorable spatial orientation.

A collision that meets these two criteria and

that results in a chemical reaction is known as a
successful collision or an effective collision. It can
be deduced from the Collision Theory that the
greater the number of collisions, the greater the
chances of effective collisions, and the greater the
amount of product formed per unit time.
Therefore, the greater the number of collisions, the
faster the reaction rate
Imagine a chemical reaction as the process
Source: https://www.gograph.com/vector-clip-
of rolling a huge boulder (reactants) up a art/car-accident.html

hill from point A to reach its final destination,

point B (where products are formed). Sufficient energy is needed to roll the boulder up the hill,
but once it reaches the top of the hill, it will roll down the rest of the way to point B.
Similarly, for a chemical reaction to occur, energy input is required to move the reaction
from the reactant and eventually to the product side. The formation of the activated complex (on
top of the hill), also called the transition state is crucial because it determines whether the reaction
proceeds or not.

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for the formation of the
activated complex and for the reaction to proceed.

Activity 4: Label the Hill

Direction: The diagram shows the energy of the reaction as it progresses. Label each blank box in
the energy diagram using the letter that correctly corresponds to the diagram part.

The Energy Diagram

There are two types of reactions concerning energy release or absorption, which are the
following:

• Endothermic reaction – energy is absorbed in a reaction (usually in the form of heat)

• Exothermic reaction – energy is released in a reaction (usually in the form of heat)

Both endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions require energy to get started. It might
seem odd that since energy is released in an exothermic reaction, there should not be any need to
input some energy for the reaction to occur.

Why does a reaction need the input of energy if the energy is consequently released?

Consider the following examples of exothermic reactions occurring in our everyday lives.

The burning of a candle is an exothermic process

as it releases energy in the form of heat. However,
you need to light the candle using a match or
lighter first before the candle can burst into
flames. This means that you have to input some
energy for the candle to light up. After that, the
reaction has sufficient energy to proceed to the
next steps, and the candle continues to burn.

The head of a matchstick usually contains

sulfur mixed with different oxidizing agents.
In order to ignite the matchstick, you
should rub its head against the special side
of a matchbox. In the process, a reaction
takes place and releases energy in the form
of light and heat. Thus, the reaction is
considered to be exothermic. But you still
need to input some energy for the Source: https://alevelchemistry.co.uk
matchstick to start burning and continue to /notes/collision-theory/

burn and release heat on its own. The

energy input required is the activation energy.
An energy diagram also called the activation energy graph depicts the energy changes
that occur during a chemical reaction.

In an energy diagram, the vertical axis of the plot is potential energy, while the x-axis or
horizontal axis is the extent of reaction or reaction path (also reaction progress or reaction
coordinates).

6
 The illustration shows that the activation energy (double arrow interval) is marked as the
difference between the energy of the activated complex (at the top of the hill) and the energy of
reactants. The double arrow interval between the reactants and products shows the difference in
energy between the products and the reactants. This energy difference is called the heat of reaction,
which indicates whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic.

For exothermic reactions, the potential energy of the product is generally lower than that of
the reactant. The energy difference comes out to be negative (ΔE = Energy of product – Energy of
Reactant).

On the other hand, the potential energy of the product in an endothermic reaction is higher
than that of the reactants and comes out positive (ΔE = +). This gap in the potential energy accounts
for the energy that was absorbed by the system during the chemical reaction.

REACTION MECHANISM AND CATALYSIS

Earlier it was mentioned that it is the collision of particles that causes reactions to occur
and that only some of these collisions are successful. This is because the reactant particles have
a wide range of kinetic energies, and only a small fraction of the particles will have enough energy
(and the correct orientation) to actually break bonds so that a chemical reaction can take place.
The minimum energy that is needed for a reaction to take place is called the activation energy.

How do catalysts work?

A catalyst increases reaction rates in a slightly different way from other methods of
increasing reaction rate. The function of a catalyst is to lower the activation energy so that a greater
proportion of the particles have enough energy to react. A catalyst can lower the activation energy
for a reaction by: orienting the reacting particles in such a way that successful collisions are more
likely reacting with the reactants to form an intermediate that requires lower energy to form the
product

Some metals e.g. Platinum, Copper and Iron can act as catalysts in certain reactions. In
our own bodies, we have enzymes that are catalysts, which help to speed up biological reactions.
Catalysts generally react with one or more of the reactants to form a chemical intermediate, which
then reacts to form the final product. The chemical intermediate is sometimes called the activated
complex. It must be emphasized though that an activated complex occurs in reactions without
catalysts as well as those with catalysts.

Energy diagrams like that in (a) are useful to illustrate the effect of a catalyst on reaction
rates. Catalysts lower the activation energy required for a reaction to proceed (shown by the smaller
magnitude (broken line) of the activation energy on the energy diagram. In effect, this increases
the reaction rate. In the presence of a catalyst, the average kinetic energy of the molecules remains
the same, but the required energy decreases

reaction (b) https://opentextbc.ca/chemistry/chapter/12-7-catalysis/

7
 In the presence of a catalyst, the reaction proceeds in a different pathway (catalyzed
pathway), as shown in diagram (b). The catalyst is recovered at the end of the reaction.
In diagram (b), the catalyst increases the reaction rate by lowering the activation energy.
This type of catalyst is referred to as a positive catalyst. The types of catalysts are:
(1) Positive Catalyst – decreases the activation energy by accepting an alternative path for
the reaction to proceed and increasing the reaction rate. For example:
Pt(s)
2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)

(2) Negative Catalyst – also called inhibitor, decreases the rate of reaction but increases
the activation energy requirement by taking a longer alternative path. For example:

2H2O2 H3PO4(s) 2H2O + O2

(3) Auto-catalyst – when one of the products formed in the reaction acts as a catalyst

CH3COOC2H5 + H2O → CH3COOH (auto-catalyst) + C2H2OH

(4) Induced-catalyst – a substance that influences the speed of a reaction, which is not
possible under ordinary conditions

Sodium sulfite solution readily oxidizes in air, but sodium arsenite solution does not
oxidize by passing air in the solution. When both these solutions are mixed, and air is passed,
then both the substances get oxidized.

Na2SO3 Na2SO4

Na2AsO3 No reaction

Na2AsO3 + Na2SO3 (induced catalyst) → Na3AsO4 (sodium arsenate) +

Direction: Provide a brief explanation of what could have gone right or wrong with the punishment
given to Sisyphus in the context of Collision Theory and Reaction Mechanism.

impossible to complete. It refers to the punishment that Sisyphus
(Homer’s Iliad, Book VI) received in the underworld for his wicked
intelligence and for cheating death twice. He was forced to roll a
boulder up a hill only for it to roll down every time it neared the
top, repeating this action for eternity.
