Q

How does a heterogenous catalyst work?

A

Reactants adsorb to the active site of catalyst this weakens bonds then they will then desorb

Q

What is the formula used to find the energy difference between ground and excited state of d-shell electrons?

A

∆E = hν = hc/λ

17
Q

what is h in ∆E = hν = hc/λ

A

Plancks constant

18
Q

What is the v in ∆E = hν = hc/λ

A

Frequency of absorbed light (Hz)

19
Q

What is the λ in ∆E = hν = hc/λ

A

Wave length (m)

20
Q

What is the c in ∆E = hν = hc/λ

A

The speed of light (3×10^8 m/s)

21
Q

Why are transition metal ions coloured?

A

As they absorb some visible light wavelengths to promote electrons in d-subshells, which transmits the remaining light to produce a colour.

22
Q

What is the Chelate effect?

A

The replacement of monodentate ligands with bidentate and multidentate ligands in complex ion

23
Q

Why is carbon monoxide toxic?

A

As it substitutes the oxygen ligands on the Fe2+ in haemoglobin (the ligands formed are stronger so oxygen can no longer bond)

24
Q

How many ligands can Cl- form and why?

A

4 as they a large

25
Q

What Molecule readily Chelates?

A

EDTA4-

26
Q

Why does the chelate effect occur?

A

As it always has negative Gibbs free energy so is always feasible
