Question
4. The hydrogenation of acetylene (C2H2) on Pd metal sites (*) is proposed to occur via
elementary steps consisting of: 1) QE dissociative adsorption of H2; 2) QE molecular
adsorption of C2H2; 3) & 4) QE sequential addition of H* to form C2H4*; 5) Ireversible
desorption of ethylene.
(a)
Write the mechanism of the reaction with the stoichiometric number of each step.
(b)
Derive the rate expression in tems of constants and measurable quantities when CH,*
and * are the MARI. If C;H4 is in the MARI expression, why is the rate independent of
the concentration of C¿H4 in the gas phase?
(c)
At some conditions, the experimental rate is zero order in both CH2 and H2. What
additional assumption(s) are required for this observation to be consistent with the rate
expression derived in part (b)?
If, under certain experimental conditions, an effective zero order rate constant is
measured, explain the chemical significance of this constant (in terms of rate or
equilibrium constants for elementary steps) using the rate expression in part (b).
