The Chemical Industry


Major contributor to quality of life and

economy.


• Quality of life • Fuels (eg petrol for cars)• Plastics (Polythene etc)• Agrochemicals

(Fertilisers, pesticides etc)

• Alloys (Inc. Steel for building)

• Chemicals (eg Cl2 for water purification)

• Dyes (for clothing etc)• Cosmetics and medicines• Soaps and detergents• Etc!!!!


• Contributes to National Economy

• Major employer of people at all skill levels

• Revenue from taxation on fuels etc

• Revenue from sales of product

• Revenue from exports of products


• Research chemists identify a chemical route to make a new product, using available reactants.


• Feasibility study produces small amounts of product – to see if the process will work


• The process is now scaled up to go into full scale production.

• Process so far will have taken months.

• Many problems will have been encountered and will have to be resolved before full scale production commences


• Chemical plant is built in a suitable site

• Operators employed

• Early production will allow monitoring of cost, safety, pollution risks, yield and profitability

The Chemical Industry - Feedstocks

Fossil fuelsCoal, oil and natural gas

Metallic oresHaematite to make iron,

Bauxite to make aluminium

MineralsLimestone needed in Blast furnace

AirSupplies O2 and N2

WaterCan be used as a reactanct or as a coolant or in heat exchangers.


• Can be Continuous process• Or can be Batch Process


• Continuous Process

• Used by big industries where large quantities of product are required

• Requires small workforce• Often automated /

computer controlled• Quality of product

checked remotely• Energy efficiency usually

good• Plants expensive to build• Plants not flexible


• Batch Process • Make substance which are required in smaller amounts

• Process looks more like the initial reaction

• Overhaul of system needed regularly – time and energy lost if plant has to be shut down

• Plant can be more flexible

• Plant is usually less expensive to build initially

The Chemical Industry: The Costs Involved

Cost Example

Capital costs Building the plant

Road and rail links

(Usually needs a substantial bank loan)

Fixed costs(Stay the same regardless of whether plant runs at full or half capacity)

Repayment of loan

Wages, Council tax

Variable costs(Vary dependent on whether plant is running at full or half capacity.)

Cost of raw materials, and other chemicals required


Industries can be classed as:• Labour intensive• Capital intensive


• Service industries (Catering, education, healthcare), are labour intensive


• Chemical industry tends to be more Capital intensive as a large investment is required to buy equipment and build plants


• Expectations of work safety and a clean environment increase during the twentieth century

• H & S legislation protects workforce


• Tradition is important – steel making continues in areas where it was set up even if raw materials are no longer available locally

• Transport options are important


Choice of a particular chemical route is dependent upon:

• Cost of raw materials• Suitability of feedstocks• Yield of product• Option to recycle unreacted feedstock• Marketability of by products• Costs of getting rid of wastes, and safety

considerations for workforce and locals• Prevention of pollution

Hess’s Law

Hess’s law

• Hess’s law states that the enthalpy change for a chemical reaction is independent of the route taken.

• This means that chemical equations can be treated like simultaneous equations.

• Enthalpy changes can be worked out using Hess’s law.

Hess’s law

• Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction: C(s) + 2H2(g) CH4(g) using the enthalpies of combustion of carbon, hydrogen and methane.

Hess’s law

First write the target equation.

Hess’s law

C(s) + 2H2(g) CH4(g) H=?

Then write the given equations.

Hess’s law

C(s) + 2H2(g) CH4(g) H=?

C + O2 CO2 H= -394 kJ

H2 + ½ O2 H2O H= -286 kJ

CH4+ 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O H=-891 kJ

Hess’s law

C(s) + 2H2(g) CH4(g) H=?

Build up the target equation from the given equations.If we multiply we must also multiply H.If we reverse an equation we reverse the sign of H.

Hess’s law

C(s) + 2H2(g) CH4(g) H=?

C + O2 CO2 H= -394 kJ

Hess’s law

C(s) + 2H2(g) CH4(g) H=?

C + O2 CO2 H= -394 kJ

H2 + ½ O2 H2O H= -286 kJ

Hess’s law

C(s) + 2H2(g) CH4(g) H=?

C + O2 CO2 H= -394 kJ

2H2 + O2 2H2O H= -572 kJ

Hess’s law

C(s) + 2H2(g) CH4(g) H=?

C + O2 CO2 H= -394 kJ

2H2 + O2 2H2O H= -572 kJ

CH4 + 2O2 CO2+2H2O H=-891 kJ

Hess’s law

C(s) + 2H2(g) CH4(g) H=?

C + O2 CO2 H= -394 kJ

2H2 + O2 2H2O H= -572 kJ

CO2+2H2O CH4 + 2O2 H=+891 kJ

Hess’s law

C(s) + 2H2(g) CH4(g) H=?

We can add all the equations, striking out species that will appear in equal numbers on both sides.

Hess’s law

C(s) + 2H2(g) CH4(g) H=?

C + O2 CO2 H= -394 kJ

2H2 + O2 2H2O H= -572 kJ

CO2+2H2O CH4 + 2O2 H=+891 kJ

Hess’s law

C(s) + 2H2(g) CH4(g) H=?

C + O2 CO2 H= -394 kJ

2H2 + O2 2H2O H= -572 kJ

CO2+ 2H2O CH4 +2O2 H=+891 kJ

C + 2H2 CH4 H=(-394 –572 + 891)kJ = -75 kJ

Hess’s law

C(s) + 2H2(g) CH4(g) H=?

C + O2 CO2 H= -394 kJ

2H2 + O2 2H2O H= -572 kJ

CO2+ 2H2O CH4 +2O2 H=+891 kJ

C + 2H2 CH4 H=-75 kJ

Equilibrium

Dynamic Equilibrium

• Reversible reactions reach a state of dynamic equilibrium

• The rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal.

• At equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant, although not necessarily equal.

Changing the Equilibrium

• Using a catalyst does not change the position of the equilibrium.

• A catalyst speeds up both the forward and back reactions equally and so the equilibrium is reached more quickly.

Changing the Equilibrium

• Changes in concentration, pressure and temperature can alter the position of equilibrium.

• Le Chatelier’s Principle states that when we act on an equilibrium the position of the equilibrium will move to reduce the effect of the change.

Concentration

•Consider the equilibrium:A + B C + D

If we increase the concentration of A, we speed up the forward reaction.This results in more C and D being formed.

Concentration

• Consider the equilibrium:Br2(aq) + H2O(l) 2H+(aq) + Br-(aq) + BrO-(aq)

The solution is red-brown, due the Br2 molecules.If we add sodium bromide, increasing the concentration of Br-, we favour the RHS and so the equilibrium moves to the left.The red-brown colour will increase.

Pressure

• Remember: • 1 mole of any gas has the

same volume (under the same conditions of pressure and temperature).

• This means that the number of moles of has are the same as the volumes.

Pressure

• Increasing pressure means putting the same number of moles in a smaller space.

• This is the same as increasing concentration.

• To reduce this effect the equilibrium will shift so as to reduce the number of moles of gas.

Pressure

• Increasing pressure favours the side with the smaller volume of gas. Consider:N2O4(g) 2NO2(g) 1 mole 2 moles 1 volume 2 volumes

• If we increase the pressure we favour the forward reaction, so more N2O4 is formed.

Temperature

• An equilibrium involves two opposite reactions.

• One of these processes must release energy (exothermic).

• The reverse process must take in energy (endothermic).

Temperature

• First consider an exothermic reaction.

Exothermic Reaction

This is the distribution of molecular energy

These molecules have sufficient energy to react

Activation Energy

Now increase the molecular energy by heating

Now these can react

Increasing temperature leads to a small increasein the number of molecules with sufficient

activation energy

Temperature

• Now consider an endothermic reaction.

Endothermic Reaction

This is the distribution of molecular energy

These molecules have sufficient energy to react

Activation Energy

Now increase the molecular energy by heating

Now these can react.

Increasing temperature leads to a greater increasein the number of molecules with sufficient

activation energy

Temperature

• The percentage increase in the number of molecules with sufficient activation energy is much greater in the endothermic reaction, compared to the exothermic reaction.

• Thus both the endothermic and exothermic processes are speeded up by increasing temperature.

• However an increase in temperature has a greater effect on the endothermic process.

• Increasing temperature favours the endothermic side of the equilibrium. Consider:N2O4(g) 2NO2(g) H= +58 kJ

• If we increase the temperature we favour the forward reaction so more NO2 is formed.

The Haber Process

• The Haber process involves the preparation of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen.N2 + 3H2 2NH3 DH = -88 kJ

• We shall look at the factors affecting this equilibrium.

The Haber Process

N2 + 3H2 2NH3 H = -88 kJ

A catalyst of finely divided iron is used to increase the reaction speed and so shorten the time needed to reach the equilibrium.

The Haber Process

N2 + 3H2 2NH3 H = -88 kJ1 mole 3 moles 2 moles1 vol 3 vols 2 vols

4 vols 2 volsSince the RHS has a lower volume of gas than the LHS, higher pressure will favour the production of ammonia.A reaction chamber to withstand the higher pressure will cost much more.

The Haber Process

N2 + 3H2 2NH3 H = -88 kJ

Since the forward reaction is exothermic more ammonia will be produced at low temperatures.At low temperatures the reaction is very slow so the rate of production of ammonia is low.

The Haber Process

N2 + 3H2 2NH3 H = -88 kJ

To ensure maximum conversion the unreacted gases are recycled through the reaction chamber after reaction.

The Haber Process

N2 + 3H2 2NH3 H = -88 kJ

To achieve the most profitable production of ammonia the following conditions are used:iron powder as catalyst250 atmospheres pressuretemperature of 500oC - 600oC

Acids and Bases

pH

• pH is a scale of acidity.• It can be measured using:• pH paper• Universal Indicator solution • A pH meter.

• We carry out an experiment where we progressively dilute acid.

• Look for a relationship between the concentration of acid and the pH.

• If [H+] = 10-x

• pH = x

• We repeat the experiment but this time we progressively dilute alkali.

• If we look at water, pH=7• [H+] = [OH-] = 10-7 mol/l

[H+] x [OH-] = 10-14 mol2/l2

This is due to the equilibrium in water:

H2O(l) H+(aq) + OH-(aq)

• For any solution [H+] x [OH-] = 10-14 mol2/l2

• Thus we can find [H+] for any solution.

• What is [H+] of a solution with pH 10? [OH-] = 10-4 mol/l [H+] x 10-4 = 10-14 mol2/l2

Thus [H+] = 10-10

Strong and Weak Acids

• A strong acid is one which completely dissociates in solution:HCl(aq) H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

• A weak acid is one which partially dissociates in solution:

CH3CO2H(aq)H+(aq) + CH3CO2-

(aq)

• We can compare eqimolar solutions of strong and weak acids e.g. 0.1 mol/l hydrochloric acid and 0.1 mol/l ethanoic acid.

• We compare pH, conductivity, reaction rates and stoichiomery.

• The differences between the properties of strong and weak acids are caused by the fact that weak acids contain many fewer H+ ions than strong acids.

• Both acids can produce the same number of H+ ions, its just that weak acids do so more slowly.

Weak Acids

• Solutions of ethanoic acid, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide are weak acids.

H2SO3(aq) 2H+(aq) + SO32-(aq)

Strong and Weak Bases

• A strong base is one which completely dissociates in solution:NaOH(aq) Na+(aq) + OH-

(aq)• A weak base is one which

partially dissociates in solution:NH4OH(aq)NH4

+(aq) + OH-(aq)

• We can compare eqimolar solutions of strong and weak bases e.g. 0.1 mol/l sodium hydroxide and 0.1 mol/l ammonium hydroxide.

• When we compare pH, conductivity, reaction rates and stoichiomery we find similar results to the comparison of weak and strong acids.

Weak Bases

• A solution of ammonia is a weak base.

Acids + Bases

• A strong acid and a strong base produce a salt which is neutral.

• A strong acid and a weak base produce a salt which is acidic.

• A weak acid and a strong base produce a salt which is basic.

Redox Reactions

Redox

• An oxidation reaction is one where electrons are lost.

Zn(s) Zn2+(aq) + 2e• A reduction reaction is one where

electrons are gained.Cu2+(aq) + 2e Cu(s)

• A redox reaction is one in which both oxidation and reduction are occurring.

Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s)

Redox

• An oxidising agent is a substance which accepts electrons.

• This means that an oxidising agent must itself be reduced.

Redox

• A reducing agent is a substance which donates electrons.

• This means that a reducing agent must itself be oxidised.

Redox

• We should be able to recognise oxidising and reducing agents from the reaction equation.

• 5Fe2+ + MnO4- + 8H+

5Fe3+ + Mn 2+ + 4H2O

• Fe2+ is oxidised to Fe3+ so MnO4– acts as an oxidising agent.

Writing Ion-Electron Equations.

• Simple equations can be obtained from the data booklet.

• More complex equations are written using the following routine.

Redox Titrations.

• These can be carried out to calculate concentration.

• Many use permanganate or starch/iodine reactions which are self-indicating – the colour change of the reaction tells you when the end point is reached.

Redox Titrations.

• It was found that 12.5 ml of of 0.1 mol/l acidified potassium dichromate was required to oxidise the alcohol in a sample of 1 ml of wine.

• Calculate the mass of alcohol in 1 ml of wine.

Mass of alcohol = 46 x 1.875x10-3 g = 0.08625 g

Electrolysis

• Electrolysis takes place when electricity is passed through an ionic liquid.

• Chemical reaction take place at the electrodes – reduction at the negative electrode and oxidation at the positive electrode.

Electrolysis

• The electrode reactions can be represented by ion electron equations.

• In the electrolysis of nickel(II) chloride the reactions are:+ electrode 2Cl- Cl2 + 2e

- electrode Ni2+ + 2e Ni

Electrolysis

+ electrode 2Cl- Cl2 + 2e

- electrode Ni2+ + 2e Ni• In both of these ion electron

equations one mole of product is produced by two moles of electrons.

The Faraday

• To find the value for one mole of electrons multiply Avogadro’s number by the charge on the electron (1.6x10-

19 coulombs)• One mole of electrons is called

a Faraday and is 96,500 coulombs.

The Faraday

• Using the value for the Faraday and the equation:

• Charge = Current x Time (Coulombs) (Amps) (Seconds) we can carry out many calculations.

Stable nuclei

• All stable nuclei fit in a narrow band

• Some nuclei are unstable because they need too much energy to hold them together.

• Thus they split apart, sending out some small particles.

Half life

• Half life is the time which it takes for the radioactivity to half.

• For any radioactive substance this time is constant.

Half life

• The decay of individual nuclei within a sample is random and is does not depend of chemical or physical state of the element.

• Half lives of individual elements may vary from seconds to thousands of years.

Half life

• Calculations involving half life usually involve precise fractions e.g.

• 3H is a b-emitting isotope with a half life of 12.3 years. How long will it take for the radioactivity of a sample to drop to 1/8 of its original value?
