How can calculate Turnover number of catalyst?
The turnover number of a catalyst is calculated by dividing the total amount of product formed by the catalyst during a reaction by the total amount of catalyst used. This can help determine the efficiency of the catalyst in converting reactants to products.
What does a catalyst not do?
Catalysts do not change the postition of the reaction's equilibrium. Adding a catalyst will increase the rate of reaction, but it will do this by providing another pathway for the reaction to occur acros, meaning a lower activation enthalpy is needed. :)
What is an equilibrium quantity?
It is the amount bought when demand matches supply. When this happens, the items are sold at the equilibrium price.
Do catalysts increase the amount of product?
No, increasing concentration of a reactant simply allows for more of a reaction to take place as there will be more molecules present for collisions to happen. Although increasing the volume probably would yield more of a product. The same is true for catalysts higher concentration = more collisions (look up collision theory) although the catalyst does not get used up, simply regenerates.
How does a change in the amount of a product lead to a shift in equilibrium, and can you explain this process?
A change in the amount of a product can lead to a shift in equilibrium by affecting the supply and demand balance. If the amount of a product increases, the supply will exceed the demand, causing prices to decrease. This can lead to a new equilibrium point where supply and demand are once again balanced at a lower price. Conversely, if the amount of a product decreases, the demand may exceed supply, causing prices to increase. This can lead to a new equilibrium point where supply and demand are balanced at a higher price.
How would you adjust the temperature to increase the amount of production?
Increasing the temperature would shift the equilibrium to the right and increase the amount of product.
What is equilibrium yield?
Equilibrium yield is the maximum amount of product that can be obtained in a chemical reaction when the forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates. It is the point where the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant. It is reached when the forward and reverse reactions reach a balance.
What term describes a substance rhat lowers the amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
This substance is called a catalyst.
Does the catalyst change the amount of energy released in the reaction?
no. the amount of catalyst does not influence the reaction; A catalyst simply provides an alternative route for the reaction with a lower activation energy.
How does a change in the amount of a product cause a shift in equilibrium?
Most chemical reactions naturally settle to a certain equillibrium, the point where the forward reaction rate equals the reverse reaction rate such that no further evidence of reaction can be observed macroscopically. The equilibrium can be shifted far to the products side (or right), meaning that a majority of the molecules in an environment are the desired product. A good example is the combustion of methane, the equilibrium for the combustion is extremely far to the right and thus most of the methane molecules undergoe reaction. However, many chemical equilibriums are not so extreme to either side and thus a good amount of both product and reactant will be present. By removing some of the product by a technique such as distillation, the chemical environment will no longer be in equilibrium anymore. Because of this the reaction will begin to proceed again forming enough product to reestablish the favorable equilibrium. In this manner reactions can be forced to the product side and product yields that were may have been considerably lower can be significantly improved.
What happens to a catalyst when incresed?
When a catalyst is increased in a chemical reaction, it typically accelerates the rate of the reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. Increasing the amount of catalyst can lead to faster reaction rates and increased production of the desired products. However, the catalyst itself remains unchanged and can be reused in subsequent reactions.
