25
Define heterogeneous catalysis
where the catalyst is in a different phase to the reactants
26
Define homogeneous catalysis
where the catalyst is in the same phase as the reactants
27
Describe the 3 steps of heterogeneous catalysis
(1)Reactants** adsorb** onto the surface of the catalyst on an active site. (2) Reaction occurs on the surface of the catalyst (3) Products **desorb** from the surface if the catalyst
28
What happens to a catalyst when it is poisoned?
- Impurities can block the active sites. - This prevents the reactants from adsorbing - Purifying the reactants is the best way to prevent poisoning.
29
What is the equation for the energy difference between d orbitals?
∆E = hf Where ∆E = Change in Energy h = Planck Constant 6.626x10-34 f = Frequency of Light (Hz) | ∆E = hc/l Where ∆E = Change in Energy h = Planck Constan
30
In terms of electrons, explain why an aqueous solution of cobalt(II) sulfate has a red colour.
(Blue) light is absorbed (from incident white light) Due to electrons moving to higher levels/electrons excited Red light (that) remains (is transmitted)
31
With reference to electrons, explain why aqueous copper(II) ions are blue.
red light absorbed d electrons excited / promoted or d electrons move between levels / orbitals the colour observed is the light transmitted
32
Explain why complexes formed from transition metal ions are coloured.
M1 absorb (some) wavelengths/frequencies/colours/energies of (visible) light M2 to promote/excite electrons in d-orbitals M3 remaining wavelengths/frequencies/colours/energies of (visible) lighttransmitted (to give colour seen)
33
What's the definition of a transition metal?
A Transition Element is one which forms at least one stable ion with a partially filled d sub-shell
34
Why is Sc not a Transition Metal?
Sc3+ is the only ion formed The d subshell is empty
35
Why is Zn not a Transition Metal?
Zn 2+ is the only ion formed The d subshell is full
36
What is the electron configuration of Cr?
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 3d5
37
What is the electron configuration of Cu?
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 3d10
38
What are the 4 characteristic properties of Transition Metals?
Complex Ions Coloured Ions Catalytic Properties Variable Oxidation States
39
Define a bidentate ligand
A bidentate ligand has two atoms that each donate a lone pair of electrons
40
Define a complex ion
A central atom or ion surrounded by ligands (that form co-ordinate bonds)
41
Which square planar complex is used as a chemotherapy agent?
Cis platin
42
Which linear complex is the active agent in Tollen's reagent?
43
Describe the structure of haemoglobin
44
How is oxygen transported in the blood?
O2 forms a co-ordinate bond to Fe2+ in haemoglobin enabling oxygen to be transported in the blood
45
Why is carbon monoxide toxic?
CO is toxic because CO bonds more strongly to the Fe2+ in haemoglobin. This prevents O2 from bonding to the Fe2+, causing suffocation
46
What can change the colour of a complex ion?
Complex ions (transition metal ions) change colour when the energy difference between d orbitals is altered. This can occr when there is: - Change in ligands - Change in oxidation state of the metal - Change in the coordination number of the complex
47
How can you determine the unknown concentration of a transition metal ion solution?
By Colorimetry
48
Describe how colorimetry can be used to determine the concentration of a coloured complex.
Measure the absorbance for a range of (known) concentrations Plot graph of absorbance v concentration/calibration curve (of absorbance v concentration) Measure absorbance of the coloured complex and find concentration from graph
49
Show how V2O5 acts as a heterogenous catalyst in the Contact Process
Step 1 – Sulfur Dioxide is oxidised to Sulfur Trioxide SO2(g) + V2O5(s) --> SO3(g) + V2O4(s) Step 2 – The Vanadium (IV) Oxide is then converted back to Vanadium (V) Oxide with oxygen. 2V2O4(s) + O2(g) --> 2V2O5(s)
50
What are the species that need balancing to give an example of homogeneous catalysis
Overall: S2O82- + 2 I- → 2 SO42- + I2 Step 1: 2 Fe2+ + S2O82- → 2 SO42- + 2 Fe3+ Step 2: 2 Fe3+ + 2 I- → 2 Fe2+ + I2
51
What are the equations for autocatalysis?
Overall: 2MnO4-(aq) + 16H+(aq) + 5C2O42-(aq) --> 2Mn2+(aq) + 8H2O(l) + 10CO2(g) Step 1 4 Mn2+ + MnO4– + 8 H+ → 5 Mn3+ + 4 H2O Step 2 2 Mn3+ + C2O42– → 2 Mn2+ + 2 CO2
