Summary of "6. Chemical Kinetics L- 2 Class12th || Target Batch 2024 || By :- Abhishek Sir Chemistry ASC"
Main Ideas and Concepts Covered:
- Introduction and Motivation
- Abhishek Sir welcomes students and encourages consistent study.
- Emphasis on not taking sessions lightly; teaching is detailed and spread across multiple videos.
- Encouragement to like, share, and engage with the channel.
- Motivation to work hard and focus on studies, especially with exams approaching.
- Basics of Chemical Kinetics
- Definition of Chemical Kinetics: Study of the speed (rate) of chemical reactions.
- Explanation of reactants and products in a reaction.
- Reactant concentration decreases over time (negative rate), product concentration increases (positive rate).
- Rate of reaction depends on how fast reactants convert to products.
- Rate of Reaction
- Average Rate: Change in concentration over a finite time interval.
- Instantaneous Rate: Rate at a particular instant; mathematically represented by a derivative.
- Rate laws express the rate as a function of reactant concentrations.
- Rate Law and Rate Constant
- Rate Law depends only on reactants, not products.
- Rate = k [A]^x [B]^y, where:
- k = Rate Constant (depends on temperature)
- x, y = orders of reaction with respect to reactants A and B
- Orders of reaction (x, y) are experimentally determined, not necessarily equal to stoichiometric coefficients.
- Rate Constant (k) varies with temperature but is independent of reactant concentration.
- Order of Reaction
- Defined as the sum of powers of concentration terms in the Rate Law (x + y).
- Can be zero, integer, or fractional.
- Overall order is the sum of individual orders.
- Important to distinguish between order and Molecularity.
- Molecularity of Reaction
- Number of reactant molecules involved in an elementary step.
- Types:
- Unimolecular (one molecule)
- Bimolecular (two molecules)
- Termolecular (three molecules)
- Molecularity is a theoretical concept applicable only to Elementary Reactions.
- Elementary Reactions
- Reactions that occur in a single step.
- Cannot be broken down further.
- Rate Law can be directly written from the Molecularity of the elementary reaction.
- Examples given include ozone decomposition and other simple reactions.
- Reaction Intermediate
- Species formed in one step and consumed in another during a multi-step reaction.
- Not present in the overall balanced equation.
- Identified by appearing on both sides of the reaction mechanism but not in the net reaction.
- Rate Determining Step (RDS)
- The slowest step in a multi-step reaction mechanism.
- Controls the overall rate of the reaction.
- Rate Law is generally based on the RDS.
- Practical Advice and Study Tips
- Importance of setting a study routine and focusing on consistent study.
- Avoid shortcuts; understand concepts thoroughly.
- Use self-study along with lectures.
- Motivation to keep working hard despite distractions or difficulties.
- Encouragement to revise regularly and practice questions.
Methodology / Instructions Presented:
- To Understand Rate of Reaction:
- Identify reactants and products.
- Observe how reactant concentration decreases and product concentration increases over time.
- Express rate as negative change in reactant concentration or positive change in product concentration per unit time.
- To Write Rate Law:
- Focus only on reactants.
- Determine experimentally the Order of Reaction with respect to each reactant.
- Write rate = k [A]^x [B]^y, where x and y are orders.
- Rate Constant k depends on temperature.
- To Determine Order of Reaction:
- Sum the powers of concentration terms in the Rate Law.
- Use experimental data; do not assume orders equal stoichiometric coefficients.
- Order can be zero, integer, or fractional.
- To Identify Molecularity:
- Count number of molecules involved in an elementary reaction step.
- Classify as unimolecular, bimolecular, or termolecular accordingly.
- To Identify Reaction Intermediate:
- Look for species appearing in the mechanism but not in the overall reaction.
- Species that is produced in one step and consumed in the next.
- To Identify Rate Determining Step (RDS):
- The slowest step in the reaction mechanism.
- Rate Law corresponds to this step.
- Study Tips:
- Attend lectures regularly and watch recordings if missed.
- Take notes and revise frequently.
- Practice solving questions related to rate laws, order, Molecularity, and mechanism.
