Chemical Kinetics -
Noncatalytic Catalytic
Most gas-phase reactions Most liquid-phase reactions
Homogeneous
Fast reactions such as burning Reactions in colloidal systems
of a flame Enzyme and microbial reactions
Burning of coal Ammonia synthesis
Roasting of ores Oxidation of ammonia to produce
Attack of solids by acids nitric acid
Heterogeneous
Gas-liquid absorption with Cracking of crude oil
reaction Oxidation of SO2 and SO3
Reduction of iron ore to iron
and steel
1. Nature of Reactants
- State of matter – Gases tend to react faster than solids and liquids
- Bond Type
- Bond Strength
2. Concentration of Reactants
3. Temperature
4. Catalyst
5. Surface Area
6. Pressure
7. Rate of mass and heat transfer
- for heterogeneous systems, they become rate controlling
8. Others
- pH
- viscosity
- external factors like stirring, agitating
Collision Theory
