Chemical Kinetics – Class 12 Chemistry Notes | CBSE NCERT Based
π Chapter: Chemical Kinetics – Class 12 Chemistry Notes --- πΈ 1. Introduction to Chemical Kinetics Deals with the rate of chemical reactions and factors affecting them. Tells us how fast a reaction occurs, and what mechanism it follows. --- πΉ 2. Rate of Reaction Average Rate = ΞConcentration / ΞTime Instantaneous Rate = Rate at a particular moment Units: mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹ For a reaction: A → B Rate = –d[A]/dt = +d[B]/dt --- πΉ 3. Factors Affecting Rate Concentration – ↑ Conc = ↑ Rate Temperature – ↑ Temp = ↑ Rate (Arrhenius Eq.) Catalyst – Alters rate without being consumed Surface Area – ↑ Area = ↑ Rate Nature of Reactants --- πΉ 4. Rate Law and Order of Reaction For reaction: aA + bB → Products Rate law: Rate = k[A]^x[B]^y x, y = Order w.r.t A, B Overall order = x + y --- πΉ 5. Molecularity vs Order Molecularity Order Theoretical concept Experimental Can’t be zero Can be zero Only whole numbers Can be fractional --- πΉ 6. Integrated Rate Laws Zero Order: Rate = k [A] = [A]₀ – kt Un...
