Catalyst
• A substance that speeds up a reaction without being consumed itself
• How? By providing a new pathway for the reaction, one with a lower activation energy

Catalyzed ReactionNote: a greater fraction of the collisions are effective therefore the reaction rate
increases

Catalysts can be classified as:
1) Homogeneous – where the catalyst is in the same phase as the reactants
2) Heterogeneous – where the catalyst is in a different phase – usually a solid

Heterogeneous catalysts
Consider the following reaction:
C2H4 + H2 C2H6
![Page 6: Catalysis October 2015. Catalyst A substance that speeds up a reaction without being consumed itself How? By providing a new pathway for the reaction,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/5697c02d1a28abf838cd9cbe/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The reaction is slow; most of the activation energy is used to break the strong H-H bond

The reaction rate can be greatly increased in the presence of:
PlatinumPalladium
Nickel

1) The reactants are adsorbed (loosely attached) onto the surface of the nickel2) Ni–H bonds are formed as H-H bonds break

3) Molecules and atoms migrate toward each other

4) C-H bonds are formed

5) The product ethane is released from the surface of the Ni (desorbed)6) The Ni remains unchanged and can be used over and over again

Homogeneous catalysts
• Provide a completely new reaction mechanism that has a faster slow step than the slow step of the uncatalyzed reaction
• What must be true about the Ea of the catalyzed mechanism’s slow step?
![Page 13: Catalysis October 2015. Catalyst A substance that speeds up a reaction without being consumed itself How? By providing a new pathway for the reaction,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/5697c02d1a28abf838cd9cbe/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Consider the reaction:2H2O2(l) 2H2O(l) + O2(g)
• The reaction is very slow
• If rate = k[H2O2]2 propose a mechanism
![Page 14: Catalysis October 2015. Catalyst A substance that speeds up a reaction without being consumed itself How? By providing a new pathway for the reaction,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/5697c02d1a28abf838cd9cbe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
BUT with a catalyst:
1) H2O2 + I- H2O + IO- (slow)
2) H2O2 + IO- H2O + O2 + I- (fast)
What is the catalyst?What is the reaction intermediate?What must be true of the activation energy of the slow step?

Identify the catalyst and reaction intermediate:
Cl(g) + O3(g) ClO(g) + O2(g)
O(g) + ClO(g) Cl(g) + O2(g)
