Study Notes
Kinetic Treatment of Catalytic Homogeneous Reactions
- The overall rate of catalytic reaction is determined by the rate of dissociation of the active complex into the final product.
- The rate of activated complex formation can be represented as
d[ABC]/dt = K3[AC][B] - K4[ABC] = 0
. - The rate of formation of intermediate AC can be given as
d[AC]/dt = K1[A][C] - K2[AC] - K3[AC][B] = 0
. - The overall rate of reaction is represented as
d[P]/dt = (K1K3[K2 + K3[B]][A][B][C]
.
Approaches to Catalytic Reactions
- Arrhenius approach: rate constant K2 is much larger than K3, so the rate of reaction is proportional to
[A][B][C]
. - Van't Hoff approach: rate constant K3 is much larger than K2, so the rate of reaction is proportional to
K1[A][C]
.
Heterogeneous Catalysis
- Heterogeneous catalysis involves a catalyst and reaction mixture in different phases.
- Examples of heterogeneous catalysis include:
- Hydrogenation of carbon-carbon double bond using nickel as a catalyst.
- Methanol synthesis using copper/zinc oxide catalyst.
- Catalytic converters using platinum, palladium, and rhodium to convert carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides into carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
- The use of vanadium(V) oxide in the contact process for manufacturing sulfuric acid.
- Oxidation of carbon monoxide using transition metal oxides such as nickel oxide.
- Acidic oxides (dehydration process) such as Al2O3 and SiO2.
- Basic oxides (dehydrogenation process) such as MgO and ZrO.
- Low sulfur fuels: desulfurization catalysis using molybdenum disulfide.

- The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide:
- Uncatalysed: 75 kJmol-1
- Catalysed with colloidal platinum: 49 kJmol-1
