Catalyst equation help

A catalyst consisting of palladium on an α-Al2O3 support, Pd/α-Al2O3, has been used for the oxidation of CO at room temperature:

Equation 1 CO(g) + ½O2(g) = CO2(g)

Under certain conditions, the oxidation reaction was found to involve competitive adsorption of the reactants with CO being non-dissociatively adsorbed and oxygen undergoing dual-site adsorption:

Equation 2 ka CO(g) + * ↔ CO(ad) Kd

Equation 3 ka’ O2(g) + 2* ↔ O(ad) + O(ad) kd’

The rate-limiting step is then a bimolecular reaction between CO(ad) and O(ad):

Equation 4 CO(ad) + O(ad) → CO (ad)

Carbon dioxide can be assume to be weakly adsorbed and, as a consequence, desorbs as quickly as it is formed.

(i) For the competitive adsorption of CO show that the following expression can be derived by equating the rates of adsorption and desorption of CO:

Equation 5 θCO = bCOpCO(1 – θCO – θO)

Where θCO and θO are the fractional surface coverages of CO and O, respectively. The quantity bCO (= ka/kd) is the adsorption coefficient for CO and pCO is the partial pressure of CO. (Hint In your working you should represent the total number of adsorption sites by N and provide expressions for both the rate of adsorption and the rate of desorption of CO.)

(ii) Equation 5 can be used in a more detailed analysis of the mechanism to derive the following two expressions:

Equation 6 θCO = (bCOpCO) / (1 + bCOpCO + (bO2pO2)1/2)

and

Equation 7 θO = θCO((bO2pO2)1/2 / bCOpCO)

where b02(= ka’ / kd’) and pO2 are, respectively, the adsorption coefficient and partial pressure of O2.

Given Equations 6 and 7, in conjunction with the information about the rate-limiting step at the start of this question, show that the theoretical rate equation takes the form:

Equation 8 r = (kθbCOpCO(bO2pO2)1/2) / {1 + bCOpCO + (bO2pO2)1/2}^2

(iii) The experimental rate equation for the CO oxidation reaction, under conditions for which the mechanism given in part (ii) is valid, takes the form:

Equation 9 r = (kR(pO2)1/2) / pCO

How can this result be rationalised in terms of the theoretical rate equation (Equation 8) that has been derived for the mechanism?

(a) A pressure vessel contains a large volume of CO2 gas at 10 atm pressure. A membrane composed of a poly(ether ketone) polymer with thickness 100 microns and net effective area of 100 cm2 covers a small perforated port in the container. The solubility of CO2 at 10 atm is 6.97 x 10-4 moles/cm3 at 35 C. The diffusivity of CO2 in the polymer is known to be 2.29 x 10-8 cm2/s at this temperature.

How long will it take for 0.001 moles of CO2 to leak from the container at steady-state? Assume that the amount of carbon dioxide in the surroundings is insignificant. Express your answer in hours.

Dilutions (w/v) really need help with this!?

In order to prepare for this lab exercise one would be required to prepare 1.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Based on this lab exercise answer the questions below based on the diluents. a) How much diluent would an individual student require to complete this lab? Support the answer with relevant calculations.

b) One was instructed to prepare enough diluent for a class of 24 students. In determining the total amount of diluent needed each student would typically require slightly more volume. Assume that each student will take 25 % additional volume. Calculate the amount of diluent needed for a class of 24 students. Show using a labeled diagram how one would prepare the diluent.

can anyone help me with either one or both questions please!

Do you need Maths A-level to study Chemistry at University?

Not really, though it would be helpful. If you love science, specifically chemistry, but aren't a maths fan it is possible to a) get a place at a good university b) do well on the course.

At degree level, chemistry is roughly divided into three areas, organic, inorganic and physical. The first of these only require GCSE level maths for small parts of the course. Physical chemistry also largely only requires this level, but some integration/differentiation is necessary, and certain modules are more maths heavy. So well over two thirds of your degree would be science only, and the final third would be science with a bit of maths!

That said, having maths A-level is still advantageous, and some courses require it. Universities such as the University of Bath offer top up maths courses so you can learn just the bits you need when you get there.

If you also love maths, then you will enjoy chemistry, but why not consider chemical engineering? This is largely about designing factories to make chemicals on a large scale, but also devices such as solar cells, deodorant cans, and football stadiums.

Gas phase reaction help

The gas-phase reaction between trichloromethane, CHCl3, and chlorine, Cl2, has time-independent stoichiometry and can be represented as follows:

Equation 1 CHCl3(g) + Cl2(g) = CCl4(g) + HCl(g)

Under certain experimental conditions, the experimental rate equation was found to be:

Equation 2 J = kR[CHCl3][Cl2]^1/2

A three-step mechanism has been proposed for Reaction 1:

Equation 3 k1 Cl2 ↔ 2Cl• k-1

Equation 4 k2 CHCl3 + Cl• → HCl + CCl3•

Equation 5 k3 CCl3 + Cl• → CCl4

(i) Explain why the form of the experimental rate equation indicates that Reaction 1 cannot be an elementary reaction.

(ii) With reference to the three-step mechanism (Equations 3–5 ), and assuming that the second step (Equation 4) is rate-limiting, derive the chemical rate equation for this mechanism and then compare it with the experimental rate equation given in Equation 2.

(iii)The activation energy for the forward reaction, Ef , of step 1 (Equation 3) is 243.4 kJ mol^-1. Given this information, determine the activation energy for the reverse reaction, Er, and comment on the significance of the value (one sentence only).

You wish to increase the carbon content of a slab of steel by exposing it to a carburizing atmosphere at elevated temperature. The carbon concentration in the steel before carburization is 359.5 ppm and is initially uniform through the thickness of the steel. The atmosphere of the carburizing furnace maintains a carbon concentration of 6695.0 ppm at the surface of the steel. Calculate the time required to carburize steel so that the concentration of carbon at a depth of 38.0 x 10-2 cm is one half the value of the carbon concentration at the surface. The diffusion coefficient of carbon in steel is 3.091 x 10-7 cm2/s at the carburizing temperature. Express your answer in hours.
