Typical Chemical Potential Energy (PE) Diagram for an Exothermic Reaction
A catalyst provides an alternate
pathway for a reaction to occur. The
alternate pathway has a lower
activation energy (AE), meaning that
the reactant molecules do not need to
collide with as much energy in order
for a reaction to occur, so more
collisions result in a reaction, so the
reaction rate is faster.

- Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?arrow_forwardRate law experiments dont always give data in the form of a rate in moles per second. Some of them give an amount of time necessary for a reaction to proceed to a given point. The faster the rate, the less time necessary. For the following data, assume that the time given is to react 0.10M of A. Determining the complete rate law for the reaction A+Bproducts.

- Why does the rate of the reaction slow down with time? The rate constant slows with time because the reaction is exothermic and loses energy The reactants that react first are moving faster than the reactants that react last, which results in a slower reaction as time progresses The reaction rate depends upon the concentrations of the reactants. As the reaction progresses, the reactants are converted into products and their concentrations decrease The reaction does not slow down with time. The rate constant gets smaller with time so that it appears that the reaction is slowing The longer the reaction takes, the older the reactants become. Old reactants react more slowly than new ones so the reaction slows downarrow_forwardSelect all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. The rate of a fast step has more effect on the overall reaction rate than the rate of a slow step. Catalysts decrease reaction rates. Reaction rates increase as concentrations of homogeneous catalysts increase. The fastest step in a reaction is called the rate-determining step. Solid catalysts do not affect reaction rates. As a reaction progresses its rate goes up.arrow_forwardUse the information given in the following paragraph and energy diagram to answer questions 5-10.
