Catalyst equation help (redone)

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?

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).

Reacting Carbon Dioxide with Lime water

You may often come across a question "What gas turns limewater cloudy?" The answer to this question is well known. Carbon dioxide is the only gas that turns lime water cloudy. You may be wondering what is lime water used for. Limewater is an aqueous solution of slaked lime and you will find it in antacids, medicines and lotions. But one of its most noteworthy property is that it is used to absorb carbon dioxide from the air. In this article, we have answered all the questions related to the reaction of lime water and .

What happens when Lime Water reacts to Carbon Dioxide?

Carbon dioxide reacts with limewater to form calcium carbonate, which precipitates out of the solution. The carbon dioxide and limewater react to produce water in addition to the calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is chalk, and when it is produced, it precipitates and solid particles of chalk appear. The appearance of this solid makes the liquid appear ‘milky’. The white milky suspension/precipitate is caused by the formation of calcium carbonate. The characteristic carbon dioxide test, is checking that the limewater is milky. This is because chalk is precipitating in the limewater. Bubbling carbon dioxide through the solution for an extended period of time makes the solution become clear and colorless. This happens as the carbon dioxide forms acidic carbonic acid when it dissolves in the water, the carbonic acid (H2CO3) reacts further with the calcium carbonate. This chemistry is important in understanding how hard water is formed and then limescale is formed in kettles and hot water boilers.

How to test for carbon dioxide?

Now, we will answer how to test for carbon-dioxide. One of the most effective ways to test for carbon dioxide gas is the limewater test. When carbon dioxide reacts with lime water (calcium hydroxide solution), a white precipitate of calcium carbonate is produced. The solution of calcium hydroxide is limewater and if carbon dioxide bubbles through the limewater, it turns cloudy white or milky.

How does carbon dioxide turns lime water milky?

When limewater which is a solution of calcium hydroxide, reacts with the carbon dioxide gas, an insoluble solid known as calcium carbonate is generated. The equation of this reaction is given below:

Now, the question arises why the solution turns milky. Well, the answer is simple, The reason for the milky solution is that calcium carbonate which is produced as a result of this reaction is a white precipitate. This nature of calcium carbonate also helps us to test for the presence of carbon dioxide gas. All you have to do is to bubble the gas through a solution of calcium hydroxide. If the gas is carbon dioxide, then the solution will turn milky. If not then the gas which is subjected to the test is not carbon dioxide. If you continue to bubble the carbon dioxide gas through limewater, you will witness another acid-base reaction that will dissolve the precipitate to generate soluble calcium hydrogen carbonate. The equation of this reaction is given below:

This reaction shows another phenomenon that we may have seen in our daily lives. The naturally occurring acid rain chemically erodes the limestone and results in the formation of a cave. As this solution evaporates, the reverse reaction occurs which results in the formation of stalagmites and stalactites.

What is the reaction between carbon dioxide and water?

When carbon dioxide reacts with water, it dissolves, while some of it reacts with water molecules to generate an acidic solution known as carbonic acid.  Limewater and reaction results in a carbonic acid. It is a weak acid and it is in an aqueous form, i.e., it is a water solution. The chemical equation of this reaction is given below:

Since it is a weak acid, therefore some of it dissociates to generate H+ ions. This depicts it is a slightly acidic solution that forms hydro carbonate ion.

All of these reactions are reversible.

Does lime water absorb carbon dioxide?

Yes, limewater absorbs carbon dioxide. When lime water and carbon dioxide reacts, calcium carbonate is generated along with the water. Calcium carbonate is an insoluble salt. The equation of this reaction is given below:

Why is lime water used in experiments?

Limewater is used in experiments because it is the easiest way to detect the presence of gas. Limewater is a calcium hydroxide solution that produces a white precipitate of calcium carbonate when it reacts with carbon dioxide. The white precipitate can be easily detected by the person conducting the experiment. Due to this fact, you will often see that limewater is used to detect the presence of carbon dioxide.
