Study Notes
Catalysts
- A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction, but is not consumed in the process.
- Catalysts change the rate of reaction, not the position of equilibrium.
- 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 (e.g., methanol, ethanol).
Haber's Process
- The Haber process uses an iron catalyst to produce ammonia (NH3) from nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2) gases.
- The catalyst provides a surface where N2 and H2 molecules can adsorb and react.
- This process facilitates the breakdown of the strong triple bond in nitrogen, allowing combination with hydrogen.
- High temperatures (400-500°C) and pressures (150-250 atm) are needed for the reaction to occur efficiently.
Chemical Equations
- Chemical equations are shorthand representations of chemical reactions, using symbols and formulas.
- Equations have reactants (starting materials) and products (resulting substances).
- Chemical formulas indicate the elements and quantities of atoms in compounds.
Chemical Equation Symbols
- '+' indicates reactants or products are mixed/added
- '→' indicates the direction of the reaction (yields, produces)
- '↓' indicates a precipitate (solid formed in a solution)
- '↑' indicates a gas is formed
- (s) designates a solid substance
- (l) designates a liquid substance
- (g) designates a gaseous substance
- (aq) designates a substance dissolved in water (aqueous solution)
- Δ indicates that heat is supplied to the reaction
Balancing Chemical Equations
- The law of conservation of mass dictates that the mass of reactants must equal the mass of products.
- Balancing equations involves adjusting coefficients to ensure the number of each atom type is the same on both sides of the equation.
- Balancing equations requires identifying elements, determining subscripts, and adding coefficients where needed. There are steps for balancing equations effectively and easily.
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Combination/Synthesis: Two or more substances combine to form a single product (A + B → AB).
- Decomposition: A single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances (AB → A + B).
- Single Displacement/Replacement: One element replaces another in a compound (A + BC → AC + B).
- Double Displacement/Replacement: The positive and negative ions of two compounds exchange places (AB + CD → AD + CB).
