a) To ensure that appropriate kinetic data is acquired from these experiments, you must first establish what catalyst mass should be used. i) Explain what is meant by the term mass transfer. ii) Explain a set of experiments which could be used to establish the appropriate mass of catalyst that should be used to compare the three catalysts. Illustrate you r answer with a diagram, labelling the kinetic and diffusional regimes. Under which regime should the catalyst mass fall into to obtain ideal comparative kinetic data?

Increasing the temperature of the reactants increases the fraction of the reacting species that collide with energies equal to or greater than the free energy/activation energy. Another factor that can affect whether or not molecules react is their orientation/bond length toward one another when they collide. Molecules with incorrect bond lengths/orientations will not react even if they successfully collide.

D. Effect of Catalysts 1. Melt about 1 gram of potassium chlorate in a test tube. Test for the evolution of oxygen by means of a glowing splinter and observe the rate at which oxygen is liberated. In another test tube put 1 gram of potassium chlorate and add a pinch of manganese dioxide. Heat and test for the evolution of oxygen as before. Compare the rate at which the oxygen gas is given off from the melted chlorate in the two cases. Write the equation for the reaction, indicating the catalyst used. 2.
