Study Notes
Surface Chemistry
- Surface chemistry is the study of reactions at interfaces.
- It's not just about reactions in bulk solutions, gases, or all phases.
Types of Adsorption
- Physical Adsorption: Adsorbate molecules held on the surface by van der Waals forces.
- Chemical Adsorption: Adsorbate molecules held by strong chemical bonds.
- Internal Adsorption: Adsorption within the pores of the material.
- Electrostatic Adsorption: Adsorption due to electrostatic forces.
Factors Affecting Adsorption
- Temperature: Higher temp generally decreases adsorption.
- Nature of adsorbent: Different materials adsorb different substances to varying degrees.
- Particle size of adsorbent: Smaller particles generally have higher surface area and thus greater adsorption.
Catalyst for Hydrogenation of Oils
- Nickel is commonly used as a catalyst in the hydrogenation of oils.
Chemisorption
- Chemisorption involves strong chemical bonds.
- Chemisorption is not reversible.
- Chemisorption is temperature dependent.
Langmuir Adsorption Isotherm
- Langmuir adsorption assumes adsorption at specific homogeneous sites, one molecule per site.
- Adsorption occurs in a single layer.
- Interactions between adsorbed molecules are negligible.
Studying Surface Area
- BET method is one method used to study the surface area.
- X-ray diffraction is used to study the crystal structure and bonding, which can help understand properties related to surface areas
- Mercury porosimetry is used, among other methods, to study porosity related to surface area.
- Gas adsorption is used in surface area studies
Stoichiometric Matrix (Example)
- The provided question refers to finding the correct stoichiometric matrix for a chemical reaction relating to the rate of the reaction, relating to each reaction
Reaction Rate
- Reaction rate is the change in concentration of a reactant or product with time.
- The rate law expresses the relationship of the reaction rate constant, and reactant concentrations.
- Different reaction orders relate to the underlying rate laws
Reaction Order
- The order of a reaction isn't always directly related to the stoichiometric coefficients.
- Elementary reactions follow this relationship(Reaction order is equivalent to stoichiometric coefficients).
- Other reaction types may deviate from this direct relationship
Activation Energy
- The minimum amount of energy required to initiate a reaction is activation energy.
Decomposition Reaction Orders
- If the half-life of a chemical reaction doubles each time, the reaction is a first-order reaction
- If the half-life stays the same regardless of the decomposition events, the reaction is a zero-order reaction
Proper Reactions
- For a reaction to occur, the reactants must have sufficient energy and proper orientation.
Reaction Intermediates
- Reaction intermediates are created during early steps of the reaction but consumed in later steps, useful for chemical reaction elucidation; they are temporary entities
Equilibrium Approximation
- Steady state approximation is used in rates of reactions when some conditions are equal to zero
Transport Processes
- Transport processes encompass the movement of substances or properties.
- Diffusion is one transport process and involves the movement of a substance from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
- Conduction is a transport process, involving the movement of heat
Diffusion
- Diffusion is a common transport process that follows Fick's Law, which helps explain diffusion.
