Study Notes
Catalyst
- A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a reaction but remains chemically unchanged at the end.
- Catalysts do not alter the equilibrium constant of a reaction.
- Activators (positive catalysts) speed up reactions, while inhibitors (negative catalysts) slow them down.
- Examples of activators include Manganese Dioxide (MnO2), Iron (Fe), and Vanadium Pentoxide (V2O5).
- Examples of inhibitors include Phosphoric Acid (H3PO4), Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4), and Alcohols (like methanol and ethanol).
Haber's Process
- The Haber process uses an iron catalyst to produce ammonia (NH3) from nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2) gases.
- The iron catalyst provides a surface for nitrogen and hydrogen to adsorb and react.
- It facilitates the breaking of nitrogen's strong triple bond, allowing it to combine with hydrogen more readily.
Chemical Equations
- A shorthand way to represent chemical reactions using symbols, numbers, and formulas.
- Chemical equations have two key parts:
- Reactants: Starting materials that change during the reaction.
- Products: The new substances formed in the reaction.
Chemical Reaction Symbols
- "+" signifies combining or mixing substances.
- "→" means "yields" or "produces", separating reactants from products.
- "↓" indicates a precipitate (solid formed during a reaction)
- "↑" indicates gas formation.
- "(s)" denotes a solid.
- "(l)" denotes a liquid.
- "(g)" denotes a gas.
- "(aq)" denotes an aqueous solution (dissolved in water).
- "Δ" indicates heat input.
Balancing Chemical Equations
- The law of conservation of mass dictates that the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products.
- Steps to balance an equation:
- Identify the elements to be balanced.
- Write down the elements and their subscripts, including those on the left (reactants) and right (products).
- Find integers as coefficients for each element/compound such that the quantities of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Combination/Synthesis: Two or more reactants combine to form a single product (A + B → AB).
- Decomposition: A single reactant breaks down into two or more products (AB → A + B).
- Single Displacement/Replacement: One element replaces another element in a compound (A + BC → AC + B).
- Double Displacement/Replacement: Two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds (AB + CD → AD + CB).
Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry is the calculation of quantities in chemical reactions.
- Stoichiometry calculations use mole ratios or ratios of coefficients to relate quantities.
- Key conversions include moles to moles, moles to grams, and grams to grams.
