Question

Dehydsation of Cudohexano 4) (4) You should notice that phosphoric acid acts as a catalyst for fhis transformation. Explain in thermodynamic terms how a catalyst often functions to influence the kinetics of a reaction. general information you provided in question four, what specifically does the phosphoric acid do to allow the mechanism will help you. for this reaction to proceed at a reasonable rate. Maybe thinking about 6) (5) Explain how steam distillation encourages this reaction to proceed to completion. 7) (4) Draw the structure of the product of your reaction after it was been treated with Bry in CH,Cl what the results of your bromine test suggest about the outcome of your reaction. 8) (4) Discuss

Explanation / Answer

Ans 4 :
Catalyst is the compound that increases the rate of reaction without itself getting involved in it. The catalyst does not get consumed in the reaction, though its physical form may be changed in the course.

Each reaction has an activation energy , which the reactant species need in order to reach a transition state. The catalyst lowers down this activation energy for the reaction , so that more number of reactants can cross the energy barrier and get converted into products.

This way the rate of the reaction increases.
