Chapter 9 An overview of
chemical reaction
Chemical reactions happen in nature to
produce natural substance,and even
living organism.
Chemical reactions have been used by us to
produce millions of substance that do not
exist in nature.
Chemical reactions are the central part of
the chemical sciences.
9.1 Chemical reactions are represented by
chemical equations
During a chemical reaction,one or more new compounds
are formed as a result of the rearrangement of atoms.
The chemical reaction can be represented by a
chemical equation (化学反应式 ),which shows the
substances about to react,called reactants (反应物 ),to
the left of an arrow that points to the newly formed
substances,called products (产物 ).
Law of mass conservation (质量守恒定律 ):
matter is neither created nor destroyed during a
chemical reaction,The finding of oxygen
resulted from this law.
The chemical equation must be balanced (平衡 ).
9.2 Chemists use relative masses to
count atoms and molecules
How to measure a specific number of atoms and
molecules?
By relative masses or molar mass (摩尔质量 ).

9.3 Reaction rate (反应速率 ) is
influenced by concentration and
temperature
How fast is a given reaction? Kinetics (动力学 )
Reaction rate can be determined by how fast the
product generates or the reactant disappears.

The factors influencing the reaction rate:
(1),How often do the reactant molecules meet?
Concentration!
(2),How often do the encountered reactant molecules lead
to a reaction? High enough kinetic energy to break the
chemical bonds in the reactants,temperature!
(3),Sometimes,electromagnetic fields,such as sunlight,
may also lead to reactions.
Fig 9.7 during a reaction,reactant molecules collide with each other
Broken bonds are a necessary first step in most of
chemical reactions,The energy required for this
in initial breaking of bonds can be viewed as an
energy barrier,The minimum energy required to
overcome this energy barrier is known as the
activation energy (活化能 ).
At any given temperature,there is a wide
distribution of kinetic energies in reactant
molecules,When the temperature of
reactions is increased,the number of
reactant molecules having sufficient
energy to pass over the barrier also
increases,leading to increased reaction
speed.
9.4 Catalysts (催化剂 ) increase the rate of chemical
reactions
? A third way to increase the rate of a reaction is to
add a catalyst,which is any substance that increases
the rate of a chemical reaction by lowing its
activation energy,The catalyst may participate as a
reactant,but it is then regenerated as a product.
? Cl + O3 ClO + O2
? ClO + O3 Cl + O2
? One chlorine atom in the ozone layer can
catalyze the transformation of 100,000
ozone molecules to oxygen molecules in
one or two years.
? Catalytic converter
? To convert nitrogen monoxide (NO) to nitrogen and
oxygen,carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide,In 1960,a
typical car emitted about 11 grams of uncombusted fuel,
4 grams of nitrogen oxide (NOx),and 84 grams of
carbon monoxide per mile traveled,In 2000,emitted less
than 0.5 gram of uncombusted fuel,0.5 gram of nitrogen
oxide (NOx),and 3 grams of carbon monoxide.
9.5 Chemical reaction can be either
exothermic (放热的 ) or endothermic (吸热
的 )
For the chemical reactions taking place in burning wood,there is a net
release of energy,For those taking place in a photosynthetic plant,
there is a net absorption of energy.
? The energy absorbed as a bond breaks or released as one forms is called
bond energy (键能 ),Each chemical bond has its own characteristic bond

? H-O 4 -464 kJ/mole - 1856 kJ/mole
