the catalytic converter does almost nothing to reduce the pollution in your exhaust. What is catalytic converter? As the name suggests‚ it basically converts harmful gases into harmless gases‚ which are environment friendly‚ with the help of a catalyst. Engine exhausts having harmful gases like CO‚ NOx & HC which are converted into harmless gases like CO2‚ N2 & H2O respectively with the use of catalytic converter. 7.3 HISTORY: In 1973‚ General Motors faced new air pollution regulations and needed

compared to the sample calcined at 673 K. This behaviour is assuemed to exist in many of the formaldehyde involved condernsations. Chaudhary et al [] have been successful in carrying out the aldol condensation reactions with uncalcined Mg-Al O TBu catalyst which gave excellent yield of aldols with no further dehydration at a temperature as low as 273 K.

active site and stop the substrate from connecting. Non-competitive inhibitors connect to the enzyme in a place that is not the active site. Causing the active site to change shape. Inhibitors and catalysts are both used in everyday life. One example of how catalysts are used in everyday life is that catalysts take away from the amount of poisonous gas coming from cars. This happens in a catalytic converter. In the catalytic converter‚ the rhodium (a kind of metal) converts the nitrogen oxide back to

Effects of Particle Size‚ Temperature‚ Concentration‚ and a Catalyst on Reaction Rate Introduction: Chemical reactions can be affected by a number of different factors. Particle size‚ temperature‚ concentration of a solution‚ and catalysts play a big role in the rate of reaction‚ they determine how fast a reaction will occur. According to the collision theory‚ the rate of reaction depends on the frequency of effective collisions between particles. Every reaction is different in that they all

*CHEMICAL KINETICS Collision theory and rates of reaction *One of the main considerations when examining chemical reaction is whether it will take place fast enough for it to be useful. *In other words‚ there’s no point carrying out a reaction if it takes 150 years to form the product! *Many chemical reactions occur very quickly. *Studying Reaction Rates *Defined as the change in concentration of reactants of products per unit time. *Units: mol dm¯³ s¯¹ *Rate of Reaction * ‚ the

collisions with energy GREATER than the activation energy. There will be MORE frequent collisions and the rate of reaction will INCREASE. 3. What is a catalyst? A substance that increases the rate of chemical reaction without being used up in the process. 4. Explain how a catalyst gives rise to an increased rate of reaction. A catalyst lowers the activation energy of the reaction by providing an alternative route for the reaction to follow and this alternative route has a lower energy.

Jacobsen’s Method of Epoxidation of an Alkene | | Abstract Various types of reactions were completed to first create and then use Jacobsen’s catalyst in the asymmetric epoxidation of an unknown alkene with bleach in the laboratory. The chiral epoxide synthesized was then characterized with GC/MS and NMR. With this information the unknown alkene was able to be identified as 4-chlorostyrene.
