Definition of a Catalyst A catalystis a substancethatincreasesthe rate of a chemicalreaction. The catalystremainschemicallyunchanged.
Howdoes a cataystwork? • The provide a surface on whichothermoleculesoratomscanreact.
Catalysts in Industry • Catalystsareveryusefulasyouonlyneed a smallamounttodramaticallychangethe rate of a reaction. • The catalystis not usedup so canbeusedagainandagain. • Used in theproductionofpolythene, painkillers, fertilizersandfabrics. • The processestomakethesecompounds, withoutcatalysts, wouldneedmuchmoreenergyandbemuchmorecostly.
CatalyticConvertors • Used on carstoreducepollution. • Car exhaustsproduce CO, NO andunburnthydrocarbons. • The catalyticconvertorconvertsthesetolessharmfulproducts CO2, N2andwater. • The catalyticconvertorremovespollutingoxidesandcompletestheoxidationofunburnthydrocarbons.

Biological Catalysts • Living cells also producecatalysts, theseareproteinmoleculescalledenyzmes. • Characteristics; • Enzymes areproteins • Veryspecific – controlonlyonereaction • Temperature sensitive – stopworkingabove 45oC • pH sensitive – workbestat pH 7
Enzymes in Industry • Biological washingpowdersuseenzymestoremovebiologicalstains(sweat, blood, food). • The enzymes break down protiensandfats. • Becausetheenzymesaretemperaturedependenttheyneed a washofnomorethan 40oC
SurfaceCatalystsandCollisionTheory • Onemain type ofcatalystworksbyabsorbingthereactantmoleculesonto a solid surface. • This processofadsorptionbringsthereactingmoleculesclosertogether.
Nickel CatalyzedHydrogenation • Finelydividednickelisusedas a catalysttoadd hydrogen tounsaturatedhydrocarbons.
CollisionTheory • If a reactiononlyoccurswhenparticlescollidewiththesurfaceof a solid…. • Thenitfollowsthatthemoresurfaceareayouhave, themorecollisionsyouhave, thefasterthereactionis. • This also appliesif; • solutionsaremoreconcentrated • Gases aremorecompressed • Increasingthetemperatureincreasesthespeedtheparticlesaremovingagainincreasingtheprobabilityofcollision.
