Uses Of TM Flashcards
Tm catalysts work by
Changing ox states
Vanadium (V) oxide oxidises so2 to so3 and is
Reduced
Reduced vanadium oxide is then ….by…..
Oxidised by oxygen back to it’s original state
Het catalysts are in a different phase to reactants eg
Haber process
Contact process
Impurities can poison het catalysts by…..eg….
Binding to catalyst surface and blocking reactants from being adsorbed and also red s.a and r.o.
Eg lead and catalytic converters
Homogeneous catalysts are in the same phase as reactants and work by…eg…
Reactants form intermediate species which then react to form products and reform catalyst
Eg fe 2+ in s2o82-/I-
Autocatalysis is when the….eg….so when reaction progresses….
Product catalyses the reaction
Eg mn2+ in c2o42-/mno4-
As reaction progresses, r.o.r inc.
Fe2+ in haemoglobin allows
Oxygen to be carried in the blood
Cisplatin is an anticancer drug that works by…..but also stops…
Preventing cancer cells from reproducing
But also stops normal cells reproducing eg hair cells
