In Chapter 3, we discussed the conversion of biomass into biofuels. One important area of research associated with biofuels is the identification and development of suitable catalysts to increase the rate at which fuels can be produced. Do a web search to find an article describing biofuel catalysts. Then, write one or two sentences describing the reactions being catalyzed, and identify the catalyst as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
Old-fashioned smelling salts consist of ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3. The reaction for the decomposition of ammonium carbonate (NH4)2CO3(s)2NH3(g)+CO(g)+H2O(g) is endothermic. Would the smell of ammonia increase or decrease as the temperature is increased?
Which reaction mechanism assumptions are unimportant in describing simple ionic reactions between cations and anions? Why?
The reaction NO(g) + O,(g) — NO,(g) + 0(g) plays a role in the formation of nitrogen dioxide in automobile engines. Suppose that a series of experiments measured the rate of this reaction at 500 K and produced the following data; [NO] (mol L ’) [OJ (mol L 1) Rate = -A[NO]/Af (mol L_1 s-1) 0.002 0.005 8.0 X 10"'7 0.002 0.010 1.6 X 10-'6 0.006 0.005 2.4 X IO-'6 Derive a rate law for the reaction and determine the value of the rate constant.
Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
a. Using the free energy profile for a simple one-step reaction, show that at equilibrium K = kf/kr, where kf and kr, are the rate constants for the forward and reverse reactions. Hint: Use the relationship G = RT ln(K) and represent kf and kr, using the Arrhenius equation.(K=AeEa/RT) b. Why is the following statement false? A catalyst can increase the rate of a forward reaction but not the rote of the reverse reaction.
One of the concerns about the use of Freons is that they will migrate to the upper atmosphere, where chlorine atoms can be generated by the following reaction: CCl2F2(g)Freon-12hvCF2Cl(g)+Cl(g) Chlorine atoms can act as a catalyst for the destruction of ozone. The activation energy for the reaction Cl(g) + O3(g) ClO(g) + O2(g) Is 2.1 kJ/mol. Which is the more effective catalyst for the destruction of ozone, Cl or NO? (See Exercise 75.)
Monochloroethane (C2H5Cl) can be produced by the direct reaction of ethane gas (C2H6) with chlorine gas or by the reaction of ethylene gas (C2H4) with hydrogen chloride gas. The second reaction gives almost a 100% yield of pure C2H5Cl at a rapid rate without catalysis. The first method requires light as an energy source or the reaction would not occur. Yet G for the first reaction is considerably more negative than G for the second reaction. Explain how this can be so.
The direct reaction of iron(III) oxide. Fe2O3, to give iron and oxygen gas is a nonspontaneous reaction; normally, iron combines with oxygen to give rust (the oxide). Yet we do change iron(III) oxide, as iron ore, into iron metal. How is this possible? Explain.
A reaction is believed to occur by the following mechanism: Stepl: 2AI (Fast equilibrium) Step 2: I + B C (Slow) Overall: 2 A + B C What experimentally determined rate law would lead to this mechanism? (a) Rate = k[A][B] (b) Rate = k[A]2[B] (c) Rate = k[A]2 (d) Rate = k[I][B]
How is it possible for a catalyst to give products from a reaction mixture that are different from those obtained when no catalyst or a different catalyst is used? Give an example.
Consider the following energy diagram (not to scale) for the reaction. 2CH3(g)C2H6(g) (a) What is the activation energy of the forward reaction? (b) At what point would 2CH3 (g) appear? (c) What is H for the reaction? (d) What is the activation energy of the reverse reaction? (e) At what point would C2H6 certainly be found? (f) What is any species at point C called?
