Type of kinetics

The complex nature of heterogeneous catalytic reactions, which consist of a sequence of at least three steps (adsorption, surface reaction and desorption), the possible intervention of transport processes and the uncertainty about the actual state of the surface makes every attempt to obtain a complete formal kinetic description without simplifying assumptions futile. In this situation, some authors prefer fully empirical equations of the type [Pg.272]

However, simple kinetic models, especially of the Langmuir—Hinshel-wood type, can serve with advantage for correlation of experimental data in spite of simplifying assumptions which are necessary for their derivation. Experience shows that heterogeneous acid—base catalysis is the very field where they fit best. Their most frequent general form [Pg.272]

The next problem of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics, the validity of the rate-determining step approximation, has not been rigourously examined. However, as has been shown (e.g. refs. 57 and 63), the mathematical forms of the rate equations for the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model and for the steady-state models are very similar and sometimes indistinguishable. This makes the meaning of the constants in the denominators of the rate equations somewhat doubtful in the Langmuir—Hinshelwood model, they stand for adsorption equilibrium constants and in the steady-state models, for rate coefficients or products and quotients of several rate coefficients. [Pg.273]

The problem discussed in Sect. 1.2.6, i.e. what composition the working surface has, also has its kinetic counterpart. If the number of active sites of a certain type depends on the partial pressures of some reaction components, then the question arises whether rate equations of type (2) are sufficient for the description of such changes. [Pg.274]

All these facts and unsolved problems require that the rate equations of type (2) be taken as semi-empirical expressions. They may be directly utilised for engineering purposes with higher certainty than eqn. (1), but they reflect the actual reaction mechanism only in general features. However, the constants are a good source of values for comparison of reactivities and adsorptivities of related reactants on the same catalyst. Such interpretations of experimental data are usually quite meaningful as is confirmed by successful correlations of the constants with other independent quantities. [Pg.274]

Kinetic methods of analysis are based on the rate at which a chemical or physical process involving the analyte occurs. Three types of kinetic methods are discussed in this chapter chemical kinetic methods, radiochemical methods, and flow injection analysis. [Pg.659]

We shall have considerably more to say about this type of kinetic analysis when we discuss chain-growth polymerizations in Chap. 6. [Pg.281]

Among the cases in which this type of kinetics have been observed are the addition of hydrogen chloride to 2-methyl-1-butene, 2-methyl-2-butene, 1-mefliylcyclopentene, and cyclohexene. The addition of hydrogen bromide to cyclopentene also follows a third-order rate expression. The transition state associated with the third-order rate expression involves proton transfer to the alkene from one hydrogen halide molecule and capture of the halide ion from the second ... [Pg.354]

Diverse and sometimes contrasting types of kinetic behaviour have been described for the decompositions of salts in this class, which includes the metal carbonates, sulphates, nitrates and nitrites, phosphates, oxyhalides, permanganates and chromates (Sects. 3.1—3.7, respectively). It is con-... [Pg.166]

Brown and McDonald (1966) provided another type of kinetic evidence for these size relationships by determining secondary kinetic isotope effects in reactions of pyridine-4-pyridines with alkyl iodides. For example, the isotopic rate ratio in the reaction between 4-(methyl-d3)-pyridine and methyl iodide at 25-0 C in nitrobenzene solution was determined to be kjyfk = l-OOl, while that in the corresponding reaction with 2,6-(dimethyl-d6)-pyridine was 1-095. (Brown and McDonald (1966) estimate an uncertainty of 1% in the k jk values.) Furthermore, the isotopic rate ratio in the case of the 2-(methyl-d3)-compound increased from 1 030 to 1-073 as the alkyl group in the alkyl iodide was changed from methyl to isopropyl, i.e. the isotope effect increased with increasing steric requirements of the alkyl iodide. [Pg.18]

It is possible to carry out this type of kinetic analysis whether a mechanism is simple or elaborate. That is, we can always derive the equilibrium expression for a reaction by applying reversibility and setting forward and reverse rates equal to one another at equilibrium. It is unnecessary to go through this procedure for every chemical equilibrium. As our two examples suggest, inspection of the overall stoichiometry always gives the correct expression for the equilibrium constant. That is, a reaction of the form tjA + iBf ofD + eE has an...

Figure 3.6. Example of the type of kinetic information available for the catalytic reduction of NO on rhodium single-crystal surfaces under atmospheric conditions. The data in this figure correspond to specific rates for C02, N20, and N2 formation over Rh(l 11) as a function of inverse temperature for two NO + CO mixtures PNO = 0.6 mbar and Pco — 3 mbar (A), and Pno — Pco = 4 mbar (B) [55]. The selectivity of the reaction in this case proved to be approximately constant independent of surface temperature at high NO pressures, but to change significantly below Pno 1 mbar. This highlights the dangers of extrapolating data from experiments under vacuum to more realistic pressure conditions.

Inhibition Effects in Enzyme Catalyzed Reactions. Enzyme catalyzed reactions are often retarded or inhibited by the presence of species that do not participate in the reaction in question as well as by the products of the reaction. In some cases the reactants themselves can act as inhibitors. Inhibition usually results from the formation of various enzyme-inhibitor complexes, a situation that decreases the amount of enzyme available for the normal reaction sequence. The study of inhibition is important in the investigation of enzyme action. By determining what compounds behave as inhibitors and what type of kinetic patterns are followed, it may be possible to draw important conclusions about the mechanism of an enzyme s action or the nature of its active site.

Graphical Approach to the Analysis of Batteries of Stirred Tank Reactors Operating at Steady State. Even in reaction systems where it is not possible to determine the algebraic form of the reaction rate expression, it is often possible to obtain kinetic data that permit one to express graphically the rate as a function of the concentration of one reactant. Laboratory scale CSTR s are particularly appropriate for generating this type of kinetic data for complex reaction... [Pg.281]

Methods of data analysis for reactions in solids are somewhat different from those used in other types of kinetic studies. Therefore, the analysis of data for an Avrami type rate law will be illustrated by an numerical example. The data to be used are shown in Table 8.1, and they consist of (a,t) pairs that were calculated assuming the A3 rate law and k = 0.025 min-1. [Pg.262]

As shown in Equation (2.13), a 1 -order reaction is equivalent to an exponential change of a component. A great number of microbial processes under sewer conditions are considered to follow this type of kinetics, and die 1-order... [Pg.26]

The kinetics of selective CO oxidation over the Cu Cej r02, nanostructured catalysts can be well described by employing Mars and van Krevelen type of kinetic equation derived on the basis of a redox mechanism ... [Pg.219]

If we apply the term stationary state to those systems in which the concentration of growing chains does not vary throughout the reaction, then it is evident that none of the systems comprised under Case 1 can involve a stationary state. The population of growing chains is declining throughout most of the reaction and falls to zero before all the monomer has been consumed. The method of dealing with this type of kinetic behaviour, devised by Pepper et al., [26] has been used effectively by others [40b, 109, 110]. [Pg.143]

This is, of course, a well-known type of kinetic equation. If dt/dm is plotted against 1 lm, a straight line is obtained with slope S and intercept I, where... [Pg.701]

What is really happening [23, 24] in the glucose —> mannitol cascade [19] can be seen from the quite complicated kinetic and molecular picture shown in Fig. 13.9, including three different types of kinetics (expressed in turnover numbers in Table 13.1) ... [Pg.284]

In a variation of this method, Tencer and Stein (1978), mixed the isotopic quasi-racemate to near, but not exactly, zero rotation so that at a certain time, tz, the observed optical rotation of the reaction mixture was zero. The equations for this type of kinetic experiment enable one to calculate the difference between the individual isotopic rate constants from tz and the ratio of rate constants (the KIE) from te and tz provided that the ratio of the initial rotations for the two isotopic substrates is known. Usually it is preferable to... [Pg.236]

The first report of this new type of kinetic isotope effect in a Menshutkin reaction was published by Matsson and coworkers in 198744. In this study, the alpha carbon kll/ku kinetic isotope effect was measured for the Menshutkin reaction between N,N-dimethyl-para-toluidine and labelled methyl iodide in methanol at 30 °C (equation 35). The carbon-11 labelled methyl iodide required for this study was prepared from the nC atoms produced in the cyclotron in three steps45 (equation 37). [Pg.932]

In cases where the depuration of HOCs from BMOs involves enzyme-mediated biotransformations (Eq. 7.4) or active transport mechanisms, and environmental concentrations are high (e.g. near a point source), depuration rates have been shown to follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics (Spade and Hamelink, 1985). Michaelis-Menten kinetics is elicited when an enzyme or active transport system is saturated with a chemical. This type of kinetics is characterized by lower values of keS at sites with high HOC concentrations. If k s are unchanged at high concentration sites, Michaelis-Menten kinetics will result in elevated BAFs. However, if chemical concentrations become toxic, finfish likely avoid the area and sessile organisms such as mussels may close their valves for extended periods (Huckins et al., 2004). [Pg.143]

Activation polarization arises from kinetics hindrances of the charge-transfer reaction taking place at the electrode/electrolyte interface. This type of kinetics is best understood using the absolute reaction rate theory or the transition state theory. In these treatments, the path followed by the reaction proceeds by a route involving an activated complex, where the rate-limiting step is the dissociation of the activated complex. The rate, current flow, i (/ = HA and lo = lolA, where A is the electrode surface area), of a charge-transfer-controlled battery reaction can be given by the Butler—Volmer equation as... [Pg.10]

The data presented in Figs. 3 and 4 are examples of the types of kinetic binding data that are readily acquired with commercially available flow cytometers. Quantitative, real-time analysis of fluorescent A-formyl peptide association with neutrophil receptors has been described by Fay et al. (4), and this publication should be consulted for detailed protocols required for quantitative kinetic assays (see Notes 5 and 6). [Pg.305]

In dealing with the mechanism of action (and response) of a flowthrough (bio)chemical sensor, one should consider three different types of kinetics (Fig. 2.20), namely ... [Pg.74]

The three above-mentioned types of kinetics also influence other aspects of sensor performance (Fig. 2.20). Thus, the signal-time profiles they provide are critically dependent on the kinetics of the processes involved for example, if the sensor regeneration is rather slow, baseline restoration is much too slow. As noted earlier, a slow chemical kinetics can be used to perform reaction rate measurements. [Pg.76]
