Leaming Goal:
To understand how elementary steps make up a mechanism and how the rate law for an elementary step can
be determined.
Order and rate law of a reaction
Very often, a reaction does not tell us the whole story. For instance, the reaction
The overall order of an elementary step directly corresponds to its molecularity. Both steps in this example are second order because they are each bimolecular. Furthermore, the rate law can be determined directly from the number of each type of molecule in an
elementary step. For example, the rate law for step 1 is
NO2(9) + CO(g)–→NO(g) + CO2 (9)
rate = k[NO2]*
does not involve a collision between an NO, molecule and a CO molecule. Based on experimental data at
moderate temperatures, this reaction is thought to occur in the following two steps:
The exponent "2" is used because the reaction involves two NOz molecules. The rate law for step 2 is
1. NO2(9) + NO2(g)→NO3 (9) + NO(g)
2. NO:(g) + CO(g)→CO2(g) + NO2(g)
rate = k[NO3]"(COj' = k[NO:]|CO]
because the reaction involves only one molecule of each reactant the exponents are omitted.
Each individual step is called an elementary step. Together, these elementary steps are called the reaction
mechanism.
Overall, the resulting reaction is
Analyzing a new reaction
NO,(9) + CO(g)-+NO(9) + CO, (9)
Consider the following elementary steps that make up the mechanism of a certain reaction:
1. 3XE + F
2. E+ M→F + N
Notice that in the elementary steps NO, appears both as a product and then as a reactant; therefore it cancels
out of the final chemical equation. NO; is called a reaction intermediate. Also notice that 2 molecules of NO2
appear in the reactants of the first step and 1 molecule of NOz appears as product of the second step, the net
effect leaves only 1 molecule of NO, as a reactant in the net equation.
Molecularity is the proper tem for "how the molecules collide" in a reaction. For example, step 1 is bimolecular
because it involves the collision of two molecules. Step 2 is also bimolecular for the same reason. Unimolecular
reactions involve only one molecule in the reactants. Though rare, collisions among three molecules can occur.
Such a reaction would be called femolecular.
