Dear colleagues,
I'm performing some catalytic studies on a catalyst able to cleave vicinale diols and other moieties in various substrates. I'm performing some studies on the catalyst loading aspect of the reaction and my data suggest something unusual to me. Going down with the catalyst loading from 10% to 2% reactions rates go down, as expected. At 1% the reaction seems faster than with 2 and 3.3% catalyst loading. The percentages are molar percentage to the substrate. This looks quite strange to me, and I can't really rationalize it. Did someone ever encountered something similar?
Savolizga aniq javob berishim uchun aniqlik kititib olmoqchiman. Aytaylik siz A moddani katalizator ishtirokida parchaloab B, C va D moddalar olmoqdasiz (Chunki barcha katalitik jarayonlarda ikkilamchi mahsulotlar hosil bo'ladi) (Sizning maqsadingiz A moddadan katalizator ishtirokida B moddani olish deb qaraymiz). Shunda katalizator konsentratsiyasini tushurganingizda D va C modda kamayib B modda koproq chiqmoqdami? sunga aniqlik kiritsangiz yoki olingan aralashmadagi moddalar konsentratsiyasini ifodalovchi jadval keltirsangiz, shunga asosan hulosamni aytar edim.
The rate of a reaction typically increases with a greater amount of catalyst, not a lesser amount. Catalysts provide an alternative pathway for the reaction with lower activation energy, facilitating the reaction and leading to an increased rate.
