catalysts/inhibitors on homo/hetero rxns

A
  • catalyst: substance which can be added to increase rxn rate without being consumed
  • inhibitor: substance which can be added to reduce rxn rate (can combine w/catalyst/reactant + prevent it from reacting). ex/ sunscreens, poisons, organophosphates (Diazinon), antibiotics, antidepressants
27
Q

surface area on hetero rxns

A

Q

examples of fuel using control of rxn rates

A
  • conc of O2 is important. to increase combustion rate, you can increase O2 conc OR increase SA, increase temp, add catalyst
  • to decrease combustion rate, water on fire smothers it and decreases O2 and cools it. fire retardant is used on forest fires and children’s clothes. airplane fuels used when spilled
30
Q

32
Q

examples of control of rxn rates in cooking

A
  • improves taste
  • kills some bacteria
  • if too hot, burning begins as well as production of carcinogens
  • food preservation keeps food at lower temp, uses anti-oxidants (ascorbic acid), keeps out O2 (sealing) and preservatives preserve food too
33
Q

collision theory: 3 requirements for successful collision

A
  • molecules must collide
  • molecules must collide w/sufficient KE, greater than or equal to Ea
  • molecules must collide w/proper collision geometry
34
Q

how collision theory explains the effects of conc on rxn rate

A
  • when both have low conc, low chance of collision so slow rxn
  • when one has high conc, higher chance of collision so faster rxn
  • when both have high conc, very high chance of collision so very fast rxn
35
Q

how collision theory explains effects of temp on rxn rate

A
  • when molecules move faster, more probability of collisions/unit time = faster rate
  • a greater fraction of molecules have sufficient KE so the collisions are effective = faster rate
36
Q

enthalpy

A
  • the heat content of a substance

- total KE + PE of a substance at constant pressure

37
Q

exothermic

A
  • heat is released to surroundings (temp of surroundings gets warmer)
38
Q

endothermic

A
  • heat is absorbed from surroundings (temp of surroundings gets cooler)
39
Q

if the heat term is shown BESIDE the equation…

A
  • if it’s negative, it’s exothermic

- if it’s positive, it’s endothermic

40
Q

thermochemical equations

A
  • heat term is in the equation
  • heat term at left of arrow = endothermic
  • heat term at right of arrow = exothermic
41
Q

when temp is increased, how does this affect molecules?

A
  • average KE increases = fewer slow ones and more fast ones. greater fraction of molecules have KE which is greater/equal to Ea so rxn rate increases
  • curve of molecules is more spread out at higher temp
  • total area under curve is same for high and low temp
42
Q

activation energy

A
  • min KE particles must collide w/to collide successfully
43
Q

if Ea is near tail of curve + temp is increased by 10 degrees C, rxn rate will ___

A
  • approx double
44
Q

if temp is increased + Ea is near middle of curve, rxn rate will ___

A
  • not change much as rxn rate is already fast
45
Q

KE + PE as colliding molecules approach each other

A
  • the repulsion slows them down so KE decreases
  • as they push against repulsive force, PE increases
  • KE + PE = total E (stays constant)
46
Q

progress of rxn in terms of KE and PE

A
  • as molecules approach each other, KE converts to PE
  • molecules form temporary unstable species which exists before products are formed called activated complex
  • AC rearranges to form product molecules
  • product molecules move apart + speed up. PE converts to KE
47
Q

if colliding molecules don’t have enough KE to convert to PE to make it over the activation energy barrier…

A
  • collision is unsuccessful, no rxn. molecules bounce off each other unchanged
48
Q

the Ea is fixed by the ___

A
  • nature of the reactants (#s and strengths of bonds)! to temp or conc or SA of a solid! temp does not change the Ea diagram at all, not the Ea or the change in enthalpy!
49
Q

when collision geometry is unfavourable…

A
  • Ea is very high, so very few molecules will form products
50
Q

how to use PE diagram

A
  • forward rxn: goes from left to right side of graph
  • reverse rxn: goes from right to left side of graph
  • change in enthalpy is change from reactant line to product line
  • Ea(f) js from reactant line to AC line
  • Ea(r) is from product line to AC line
51
Q

most rxns take place in a ___ of simple steps, other than 2 simple particle collisions

A
  • series
52
Q

rxn mechanism

A
  • the series of steps by which a rxn takes place
  • can’t be determined by just looking at overall rxn
  • deduced through much research
  • some mechanisms are known, many are not
  • each step is called an Elementary Process
53
Q

rate determining step

A
  • slowest step in the mechanism
  • overall rxn can never be faster than RDS
  • only way to speed up rxn is by speeding up RDS. speeding up a fast step (not RDS) will have no effect on overall rate
54
Q

rxn intermediate

A
  • species (atom, molecule or ion) which is produced in 1 step + used up in a later step (appears on right + lower left)
  • an intermediate doesn’t accumulate like a product b/c as soon as it’s formed, it gets used up again
  • intermediates aren’t necessarily unstable (they may last a while)
55
Q

PE diagram for rxn mechanism

A
  • each bump is a step
  • the higher the bump, the slower the step
  • the highest bump is the RDS
  • AC’s at top of bumps, intermediates in middle valleys, product in final valley
  • Ea(f) overall vertical distance from reactants to top of highest bump
56
Q

how catalysts work

A
  • produces an alternate mechanism w/lower Ea. more molecules can make it over barrier so rxn rate increases
  • usually involves more steps but its highest Ea is never as high as uncatalyzed rxn
  • catalyst never changes PE/change in enthalpy of reactants/products, only provides alternate route
  • uncatalyzed rxn still continues at its own rate
57
Q

catalysts sometimes work by…

A
  • providing a surface which has atom spacing just right to break reactant molecule + hold it for an attack from another reactant
  • helping to form an intermediate which can react more easily to form products
58
Q

finding catalyst in rxn mechanism

A
  • one that appears on left and later on right side
59
Q

finding AC in rxn mechanism

A
  • for a given step, add up all the junk on the reactant side

  • strong
62

63
