Definition: Catalyst : increases the rate of a reaction & unchanged at the end of a reaction

Collision theory

Effect null null null
↑ Concentration [] ↑ more #particles per unit volume ↑ more frequent collision rate
↑ Temperature ↑ avg KE of particles ↑ more #particles >= Ea ↑ more frequent collision rate
↑ Pressure ↑ more #particles per unit volume ↑ more frequent collision rate
↑ Surface area ↑ more reactant expose to collide
↑ Catalyst It provide another pathway with lower Ea ↑ more #particles >= Ea
  • ↑ increase successful collisions (per unit time)/(rate)
  • ↑ increase reaction rate

  • unsaturated hydrocarbons

Addition reaction

hydrogen (hydrogenation) ethane -H -H 200°C, nickel catalyst

Q: How to distinguish between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons?

A: Using Bromine water (orange-brown):

  • Saturated: remains orange (unreactive)
  • Unsaturated: turns from orange to colourless / decolourises

Q: Why stage one is called an addition reaction.

A: Only form one product

11.6 Alcohols

Methods of producing alcohols (for Ethanol)

Fermentation of Aqueous Glucose (for Ethanol) Catalytic Addition of Steam to Ethene
Describe Yeast is added to dissolved glucose. The ethene reacts with steam (reversibly) to form ethanol
Reaction C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 ethene (g) + steam (g) ⇌ ethanol (l)
Condition 25-35 °C for optimal enzyme activity 300°C, 60 atm, acid Catalyst - phosphoric acid
Low temp: Gives better yield
High temp: Faster rate
Rate The slow reaction produces a dilute solution that requires processing. Can only be produced in batches The fast reaction produces pure ethanol. Continuous production (no batches)
Green 1 Produces greenhouse gas (CO2) No greenhouse pollutants
Green 2 Uses renewable resources Uses non-renewable resources (crude oil)
