Definition of Catalyst
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction, but is not consumed by the reaction; hence a catalyst can be recovered chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction it has been used to speed up, or catalyze.
Discussion
For chemicals to react, their bonds must be rearranged, because the bonds in the products are different from those in the reactants. The slowest step in the bond rearrangement produces what is termed a transition state - a chemical species that is neither a reactant nor a product, but is an intermediate between the two.
Reactant ⇄ Transition State ⇄ Product
Energy is required to form the transition state. This energy is called the activation energy, or Ea. Reading the diagram below from left to right shows the progress of a reaction as reactants pass through the transition state to become products.
Beating the Barrier
The activation energy can be thought of as a barrier to a chemical reaction, a hurdle that must be crossed. If the barrier is high, few molecules have sufficient kinetic energy to collide, form a transition state, and cross the barrier. Reactants with energy lower than Ea cannot pass through the transition state to react and become products.
A catalyst works by providing a different route, with lower Ea, for the reaction. Catalysts lower the energy barrier. The different route allows the bond rearrangements needed to convert reactants to products to take place more easily, with a lower energy input. In any given time interval, the presence of a catalyst allows a greater proportion of the reactant species to pick up sufficient energy to pass through the transition state and become products.
Example 1: The Haber Process
The Haber process, which is used to make ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen, is catalyzed by iron, which provides atomic sites on which the reactant bonds can rearrange more easily to form the transition state.
N2 (gas) + 3H2 (gas) ⇌ 2NH3 (gas)
Example 2: Enzymes
In our bodies, and in other living things, enzymes are used to speed up biochemical reactions. An enzyme is a type of catalyst. Complex life would be impossible without enzymes to allow reactions to take place at suitable speeds. The shapes of enzymes along with locations on the enzyme that bind to the reactants provide an alternative reaction pathway, allowing specific molecules to come together to form a transition state with a reduced activation energy barrier.
A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed or altered in the process.
In more detail, a catalyst is a substance that can increase the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy. Activation energy is the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur. By lowering this energy barrier, a catalyst allows more reactant particles to have enough energy to react, thus speeding up the reaction.
Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction, meaning they can be used repeatedly. They do not appear in the overall balanced chemical equation for the reaction because they do not change or become part of the products. However, they may temporarily bond with reactants during the reaction process, forming an intermediate compound that quickly breaks down to release the products and regenerate the catalyst.
Catalysts can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous. Homogeneous catalysts are in the same phase (solid, liquid, or gas) as the reactants, while heterogeneous catalysts are in a different phase. An example of a homogeneous catalyst is the use of sulfuric acid in the production of esters from carboxylic acids and alcohols. A common example of a heterogeneous catalyst is the use of finely divided platinum in catalytic converters in cars to speed up the breakdown of harmful gases into less harmful substances.
Understanding the role of catalysts is crucial in many areas of chemistry and industry. They are used extensively in industrial processes to increase the efficiency and speed of reactions, reducing costs and environmental impact. For example, in the Haber process for the production of ammonia, an iron catalyst is used to speed up the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen.
What Is Catalyst in Chemistry
In Chemistry, catalysts are defined as those substances which alter the rate of reaction by changing the path of reaction. Most of the time, a catalyst is used to speed up or increase the rate of the reaction. However, if we go to a deeper level, catalysts are used to break or rebuild the chemical bonds between the atoms which are present in the molecules of different elements or compounds. In essence, catalysts encourage molecules to react and make the whole reaction process easier and more efficient.
Some of the important characteristic features of catalysts are given below:
A catalyst does not initiate a chemical reaction.
A catalyst is not consumed in the reaction.
Catalysts tend to react with reactants to form intermediates and, at the same time, facilitate the production of the final reaction product. After the whole process, a catalyst can regenerate.
A catalyst can be either in solid, liquid or gaseous forms. Some of the solid catalysts include metals or their oxides, including sulphides and halides. Semi-metallic elements such as boron, aluminium and silicon are also used as catalysts. Further, liquid and gaseous elements, which are in pure form, are used as catalysts. Sometimes, these elements are also used along with suitable solvents or carriers.
The reaction which involves a catalyst in their system is known as a catalytic reaction. In other words, a catalytic action is a chemical reaction between the catalyst and a reactant. This results in the formation of chemical intermediates that can further react quite readily with each other or with another reactant to form a product. However, when the reaction between the chemical intermediates and the reactants occurs or takes place, the catalyst is regenerated.
The reaction modes between the catalysts and the reactants usually tend to vary widely, and in the case of solid catalysts, it is more complex. Reactions can be acid-base reactions, oxidation-reduction reactions, coordination complexes formation, as well as the production of free radicals. For solid catalysts, the reaction mechanism is greatly influenced by surface properties and electronic or crystal structures. Some types of solid catalysts, such as polyfunctional catalysts, can have several reaction modes with the reactants.
There are several types of catalysts that can be used depending on the need or requirement of the chemical reaction. They are explained below.
Positive Catalysts
Catalysts that increase the rate of a chemical reaction are positive catalysts. It increases the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy barriers such that a large number of reaction molecules are converted into products, and thereby the percentage of yield of products increases.
Positive catalyst example: In the preparation of NH3 by Haber's process, iron oxide acts as a positive catalyst and increases the yield of ammonia in spite of less reaction of nitrogen.
Negative Catalysts
Catalysts that decrease the rate of reaction are negative catalysts. It decreases the rate of reaction by increasing the activation energy barrier, which decreases the number of reactant molecules to transform into products, and hence the rate of reaction decreases.
Negative catalyst example: The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen is retarded by using acetanilide, and this acts as a negative catalyst to decrease the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
Promoter or Accelerators
A substance that increases the catalyst activity is known as a promoter or accelerator.
Example: In Haber's process, molybdenum or a mixture of potassium and aluminium oxides act as promoters.
Catalyst Poisons or Inhibitors
Substances that decrease the catalyst activity are known as catalyst poisons or inhibitors.
Example: In the hydrogenation of alkyne to an alkene, catalyst palladium is poisoned with barium sulphate in quinolone solution, and the reaction is stopped at the alkene level. This type of catalyst is known as Lindler's catalyst.
Units
The derived SI unit for measuring the catalytic activity of a catalyst is "katal". It is further quantified in moles per second. If we want to describe the productivity of a catalyst, it can be defined by the turnover number (TON). Catalytic activity can be described by the turnover frequency (TOF), which is TON per time unit. Besides, the enzyme unit is its biochemical equivalent.
Determination Of The Structure And Properties Of Catalysts
The nature of the active centres in catalytic material is further demonstrated by the enhancement of the catalytic activity of relatively inactive materials when they are subjected to intense radiation. Silica gel bombarded by gamma rays from cobalt-60 turns purplish in colour and becomes capable of inducing the reaction H2 + D2→ 2HD at liquid-nitrogen temperatures. The colour centres, which are positive "holes" (deficiencies) trapped in the vicinity of an oxygen ion next to an aluminum impurity, are bleached in vacuo above 200 °C (400 °F) and are destroyed by hydrogen even at room temperature.
The properties of dilute concentrations of platinum metals in oxide matrices, such as silica and alumina, as well as on carbon carriers have been studied by Russian and American scientists. Such catalysts have technical significance in processes for the reforming of gasoline. In such catalysts-containing about 0.5 percent by weight of platinum or palladium-the degree of dispersion of the metal (that is, the ratio of the number of surface metal atoms to the total number present) is close to one. By contrast, on platinum foil the dispersion is only about 4 × 10−3. The titration and adsorption procedures with hydrogen and oxygen are employed to evaluate these dispersions.
From these studies it becomes clear that there are two types of behaviour resulting from dispersion. For numerous catalytic processes, ranging from hydrogen-deuterium exchange to the hydrogenation of benzene and the hydrogenolysis of cyclopentane, the reactions are independent of dispersion in the critical region-with catalyst particle size of 5 nm or less. Such structure-insensitive processes have been termed facile reactions. On the other hand, there are reactions such as the isomerization of neopentane to isopentane and simultaneous cracking of the latter to isobutane and methane on platinum-alumina catalysts, where the selectivity for isomerization varies by a factor of 100 for the various catalysts studied (when the hydrogen-neopentane ratio is 10). Thus, the same 1 percent platinum-on-carbon catalyst showed a selectivity ratio of isomerization to hydrogenolysis of 2.5 when the catalyst was reduced in hydrogen at 500 °C (900 °F) and a selectivity ratio of 13 when the catalyst was fired in vacuo at 900 °C (1,600 °F), the percentage dispersion remaining at 35 percent in both cases. Such structure-sensitive catalytic reactions have been called "demanding reactions." The gain in selectivity appears to be largely because of a reduction in the rate of hydrogenolysis. Since other studies have shown that heating in vacuo to 900 °C tends to develop certain (111) facets of the metal, it is thought that the increase in selectivity is due to a more abundant triadsorption of neopentane on the samples fired at high temperature. It has been shown that a crystallite of platinum about 2 nm in size has unusual surfaces not present in a regular octahedral crystallite of similar size. A number of sites where an adsorbed molecule could be surrounded by five platinum nearest neighbours were found on the crystallite with the unusual surface.
An alternative approach to the problem of surface catalysis involves the consideration of electronic factors in catalyst and reactants. Many catalytic materials are semiconductors. It is thought that these can form a variety of bonds with reactants depending on the free lattice electrons and the holes in the catalyst lattice. Chemisorbed particles react in ways that are dependent on the form of attachment to the surface and that vary with the extent of coverage of the surface as well as with the available supply of electrons and holes. The surface behaves as would free radicals that are introduced directly into the reacting species, dependent on the electrochemical properties of the surface and the bulk of the semiconductor material. Such considerations have led to the determination of the character of the catalyst as a semiconductor and of the adsorbate as an electrochemical species, whether it is composed of positive or negative ions or free atoms or radicals. Catalytic activity has also been explored as a function of the d-band character-that is, the number of electrons in d orbitals in the atoms of the catalyst materials.
Since 1940 various instrumental techniques have been developed to explore the structure of catalytic materials and the character of the adsorbed species, even during the reaction itself. Among these techniques are electron microscopy, field emission microscopy, electron microprobe methods, magnetic measurements, infrared spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, measurements of heats of immersion, flash desorption procedures, low-energy electron diffraction studies, and nuclear magnetic resonance and electron spin resonance techniques.
How Catalysis Works
Catalysis is a different pathway for a chemical reaction, which has a lower activation energy. When a reaction has a lower activation energy, it occurs more readily and thus more quickly. A catalyst binds to a reactant and it increases the number of collision between the reactant molecules, making the reaction more favorable thermodynamically. When the catalyst is an enzyme, the enzyme binds to a substrate, leading to catalysis. Sometimes binding a catalyst and a reactant changes the temperature of the reaction, improving its ability to proceed. Sometimes the intermediate steps of catalysis do consume the catalyst, but later steps release it before reaction completion.
Note that a catalyst does not change the equilibrium of a chemical reaction because it affects both the forward and reverse reaction rates. So, a catalyst has no effect on the equilibrium constant the or theoretical yield. Also, the Gibbs free energy of the reaction is unchanged.
