28
Q

2 general types of experimental methods

A

Quenching (quench reaction + analyse reaction mixture
In situ (measure concentrations in real time)

29
Q

What is quenching

A

Mix reactants rapidly
Extract aliquots from the reaction mixture at regular intervals + measure their composition

30
Q

Ways to to achieve quenching

A

Large dilution of aliquot to reduce concentration + slow reaction
Add co-reagent which adds rapidly with one of the reactants to remove it completely and prevent further reaction
Rapid lowering of temperature to slow reaction

31
Q

Mixing and quenching deficiencies

A

Mixing takes fairly long time
Rapid quenching is difficult and introduces error in the measurement of reactant or product concentrations

32
Q

In Situ measurements

A

Composition measured in reaction mixture without extracting aliquot e.g. monitoring changes in pressure or use UV/Vis spectroscopy to monitor rate and progress of reaction

33
Q

Polarimetry is an experimental method for

A

Optically active species

34
Q

Conductometry is an experimental method for

A

Charged species

35
Q

pH-metry is an experimental method for

A

Acidic/basic species

36
Q

Electrode potentiometry is an experimental method for

A

Oxidation-reduction reactions

37
Q

In situ limitations

A

Only works with reactions not too fast
Half life must be > ca. 50s / k’ < ca.0.014 s^-1
K infinity not straight forward to measure

38
Q

Continuous flow + Stopped-flow methods

A

Continuous- Rapid turbulent mixing of 2 reagents in a flow system
Reactants slow rapidly down an outlet tube and reaction monitored at varying distances down the tube to progress the reaction at different times
Can be applied to gas or liquid phase

Stopped- uses advantage of flow method while avoiding large volumes of reagent issue
Reactants mixed rapidly and flow into observation chamber pushing a piston up to stop
Once stop is reached, reagent flows stopped and the reaction monitored within already mixed
volume

Both have light source
Beer-Lambert’s Law can be used to probe reaction (Stopped)

39
Q

Continuous flow method disadvantage

A

Large volume of reactant used rapidly

40
Q

Detectors in continuous flow and stopped-flow methods

A

Continuous- move detector down stream to observe time dependence
Stopped- detector stays in same position to observe time dependence

41
Q

It requires…

A

kf[A] - kb[B]

44
Q

Dynamic equilibrium

A

forwards and backwards reaction happen at equal rate. Molecules still reacting but no overall change in concentration of reactants or products
d[B]/dt = kf[A]eq - kb[B]eq = 0
kf[A]eq = kb[B]eq
[B]eq/[A]eq = kf/kb

A

K

46
Q

Differentiate lnK=ln(kf/kb)
What does this equal?
(subscript f/b)

A

=lnkf - lnkb
dlnK / dT = d lnkf / dT - d lnkb / dT
van’t Hoff equation = delta H/RT^2
(subscript f/b)

47
Q

kf = Af e ^ -(Ef^act)/RT
kb = Ab e ^-(Eb^act)/RT
(subscript f/b)
Take natural logs and differentiate

A

lnkf = lnAf - Ef^act / RT
lnkb = lnAb - Eb^act / RT
d lnkf / dT = 0 + (Ef^act) / RT^2
d lnkb / dT = 0 + (Eb^act) / RT^2
(subscript f/b)

48
Q

d lnK / dT = delta H / RT^2
So …
And delta H =

A

= lnkf / dT - d lnkb / dT
= (Ef^act) / RT^2 - (Eb^act) / RT^2
Ef^act - Eb^act
(subscript f/b)

49
Q

lnK =

A

-delta H / RT + delta S/R
= ln (Af/Ab) + delta S/R - 1/RT (Ef^act - Eb^act)
(subscript f/b)

ka / k’a : forwards + backwards rate constants
Catalysis: ES –> P + E
kb : rate constant
Calculate d[ES] / dt

A

ka [E][S] - ka’ [ES] - kb [ES] = 0
[ES] = (ka / k’a + kb )[E][S]

KM = ([E]0 - [ES])[S] / [ES]
[ES] = [E]0[S] / KM + [S]

65
Q

67
Q

A

kb [E]0 [S] / KM + [S]
