In Chapter 3, we discussed the conversion of biomass into biofuels. One important area of research associated with biofuels is the identification and development of suitable catalysts to increase the rate at which fuels can be produced. Do a web search to find an article describing biofuel catalysts. Then, write one or two sentences describing the reactions being catalyzed, and identify the catalyst as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
Can a reaction mechanism ever be proven correct? Can it be proven incorrect?
What are homogeneous equilibria? Heterogeneous equilibria? What is the difference in writing K expressions for homogeneous versus heterogeneous reactions? Summarize which species are included in the K expression and which species are not included.
Which reaction mechanism assumptions are unimportant in describing simple ionic reactions between cations and anions? Why?
The reaction NO(g) + O,(g) — NO,(g) + 0(g) plays a role in the formation of nitrogen dioxide in automobile engines. Suppose that a series of experiments measured the rate of this reaction at 500 K and produced the following data; [NO] (mol L ’) [OJ (mol L 1) Rate = -A[NO]/Af (mol L_1 s-1) 0.002 0.005 8.0 X 10"'7 0.002 0.010 1.6 X 10-'6 0.006 0.005 2.4 X IO-'6 Derive a rate law for the reaction and determine the value of the rate constant.
Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
a. Using the free energy profile for a simple one-step reaction, show that at equilibrium K = kf/kr, where kf and kr, are the rate constants for the forward and reverse reactions. Hint: Use the relationship G = RT ln(K) and represent kf and kr, using the Arrhenius equation.(K=AeEa/RT) b. Why is the following statement false? A catalyst can increase the rate of a forward reaction but not the rote of the reverse reaction.
How is it possible for a catalyst to give products from a reaction mixture that are different from those obtained when no catalyst or a different catalyst is used? Give an example.
