Lecture

Introduction to Catalysis: Reaction Rate and Surface Coverage

Description

This lecture covers the simulation of pressure and temperature dependence of reaction rate in catalysis, focusing on the Arrhenius equation and van't Hoff equation. It also discusses the importance of surface coverage and temperature in catalytic reactions, as well as the Sabatier effect and its application in methane synthesis. The lecture concludes with exercises on energy profiles of catalyzed reactions and the molecular orbital theory for adsorption on heterogeneous catalysts.
