    The document discusses the catalytic oxidation of ethanol over a tantalum oxide catalyst. It presents the overall reaction and proposed mechanism, with ethanol adsorbing on site S and oxygen on site S'. The rate limiting step is believed to be the reaction between adsorbed ethanol and oxygen to form acetaldehyde and hydroxyl groups. The initial rate law derived from this is rate = k[C2H5OH][O2]. In general, this problem demonstrates deriving a rate law from a proposed surface reaction mechanism.

    HW Problem Set #1 – CBE 444/544 – Due 8/31/17

    The catalytic oxidation of ethanol has been carried out over a tantalum oxide catalyst [J.
    Catal., 25, 194 (1972)]. The overall reaction

    is believed to proceed by the following mechanism, in which ethanol is adsorbed on one type of site, S,
    and oxygen is adsorbed on a different type of site, S´ . Ethanol undergoes dissociative adsorption on
    two type S sites:

    Oxygen also undergoes dissociative adsorption on two type S´ sites (presumably metal ions):

    (a) Assuming that the rate-limiting step is

    and that the adsorbed hydroxyl may be converted into water by

    show that the initial rate law is

    (b) What generalizations can you make after studying this problem?
