Q

Ionic equations for production of Fe3+ catalyst

A

S2O8(2-) + Fe(2+)—-> 2S2O4 + Fe3+

Fe3+ + 2I(-) ——> Fe2+ + I2

20
Q

Describe the mechanism of catalysis

A
  1. Adsorption- reactants stock to surface of catalyst
  2. Reaction- bonds of the reactants are weakened
  3. desorption- products come off the surface of the catalyst
21
Q

Reactions of catalyst of the Contact Proces

A

V2O5 + SO2—> V2O4 + SO3

V2O4 + 0.5O2 ——> V2O5

22
Q

Define heterogenous catalysts

A

When the catalyst is in a different phase to the reactants

23
Q

Why are Zn and Sc not a transition metals?

A

Zn can only form a +2 ion and Sc3+. In these ions they have a completed orbital and so does not meet the criteria of having an incomplete d orbital in one of its compounds.

24
Q

define ‘complex’

A

central atom surrounded by ligands

25
Q

define ‘ligand’

A

a species which can donate a lone pair of electrons

26
Q

how do coloured metal ions form?

A

Colour arises from electronic transitions from the ground state to excited states: between different d orbitals
A portion of visible light of specific frequencies is absorbed to promote d electrons to higher energy levels.
The light that is not absorbed is transmitted to give the substance colour.

27
Q

where do colour changes arise from

A
  1. oxidation state
  2. coordination number
  3. ligand
28
Q

define ‘unidentate ligands’

A

have one atom which can donate one lone pair of electrons- forms one coordinate bond

29
Q

define ‘bidentate ligands’

A

have two atoms which can each donate one lone pair electrons- form two coordinate bonds

30
Q

define ‘multidentate ligands’

A

can form several coordinate bonds

31
Q

examples of bidentate ligands

A

1,2-diaminoethane (en)

ethanedioate ligand C2O4^2-

32
Q

example of multidentate ligands

A

EDTA^4-

33
Q

shape of [CuCl4]^2- and why

A

tetrahedral

Cl- ligands are too large for more than 4 to fit around

34
Q

Cr2O7 + Zn in acidic conditions——>

A

[Cr(H2O)6]3+

orange to green

35
Q

catalysed reaction between iodide and persulfate ions

A

stage 1 S2O82- + 2Fe2——-> 2SO42- + 2Fe3+

stage2 2I- + 2Fe3+——-> 2Fe2+ + I2

36
Q

autocatalytic reaction between ethanedioate and manganate ions

A

Step 1: 4Mn(2+) + MnO4- + 8 H+———>5Mn (3+) + 4 H2O

Step 2: 2Mn(3+) + C2O4(2-) ——–>2Mn (2+ )+ 2CO2

37
Q

what is autocatalysis?

A

when a product of a reactions acts as a reagent

38
Q

Features of transition metals

A

shows variable oxidation states

can form complex ions

39
Q

why might one ion have a different colour to another ion?

A

different ligands would split the d orbitals to different extents
so different frequencies of light are absorbed

40
Q

Why does Cr has a unexpected electron configuration?

A

Half filled d orbital are more stable

Paired electrons easily removed due to repulsion

41
Q

why is cisplatin an effective cancer treatment?

A

The Cl- ligands are on the left side of the complex, these can both be displaced and bind to DNA preventing the cell division of cancerous cells

42
Q

Why can transition metals form variable oxidation states

A

This is because the ions contain partially filled sub-shells of d electrons that can easily lose or gain electrons. The energy differences between the oxidation states are small

43
Q

what makes something a good homogenous catalyst

A

needs to have its electrode potential in between the two half equations so it can oxidise one reagent and reduce the other

44
Q

why is a solid catalyst a good thing?

A

it can be filtered off
