Molecularity
The molecularity of an elementary reaction is
the number of atoms, molecules, or ions
coming together to react.
Reactions can be termed as unimolecular,
bimolecular or termolecular, depending on one,
two, or three atoms, molecules, or ions collide.
Elementary reactions may be
unimolecular, in which a single molecule shakes
itself apart or into a new arrangement of its atoms
bimolecular, in which two molecules collide and
undergo some change.

At the same concentration, but at two different
temperatures, Arrhenius' law indicates that

EXAMPLE 2.3
Milk is pasteurized if it is heated to 63 oC for 30
min, but if it is heated to 74C it only needs 15 s
for the same result. Find the activation energy of
this sterilization process.
t1 = 30 min
at T1 = 336 K
t2 = 15 s
at T2 = 347 K
Using Eq. 25:
Rate of Reaction
Pressure dependence
Think about pressure. What causes pressure?
For an ideal gas, how does it affect the reaction
rate?
pV = nRT

Effect of Pressure
Increasing pressure without changing number of
moles or temperature, changes volume.

Summary
Reactants have to collide to react.
-rA= [k(T)][f(CA, CB, etc.)]
Pressure can affect either T, or concentration
k(T) = Ae-E/RT
A and E can be found graphically, or by solving 2
equations

Arrhenius Equation
k is the specific reaction rate (constant) and is
given by the Arrhenius Equation.

Arrhenius Equation
where:
E = Activation energy (cal/mol)
R = Gas constant (cal/mol*K)
T = Temperature (K)
A = Frequency factor (same units as rate constant k)
(units of A, and k, depend on overall reaction order)
61
Reaction Coordinate
The activation energy can be thought of as a barrier
to the reaction. One way to view the barrier to a
reaction is through the reaction coordinates. These
coordinates denote the energy of the system as a
function of progress along the reaction path. For the
reaction:
A BC A ::: B ::: C AB C

Distribution of Velocities
We will use the Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution of
Molecular Velocities. For a species af mass m,
the Maxwell distribution of velocities (relative
velocities) is:
