  • Redox Models in Chemistry
    Redox models in chemistry A depiction of the conceptions held by secondary school students of redox reactions Lise-Lotte Österlund Department of Chemistry 901 87 Umeå Umeå 2010 Copyright©Lise-Lotte Österlund ISBN: 978-91-7459-053-1 ISSN: 1652-5051 Cover picture: Photographer, Lise-Lotte Österlund Printed by: VMC, KBC, Umeå University Umeå, Sweden 2010 T0 my family Abstract According to previous research, students show difficulties in learning redox reactions. By the historical development different redox models exist to explain redox reactions, the oxygen model, the hydrogen model, the electron model and the oxidation number model. This thesis reports about three studies concerning conceptions held by secondary school students of redox reactions. A textbook analysis is also included in the thesis. The first study was an investigation of the students’ use of redox models in inorganic contexts, their use of the activity series of metals, and the students’ ability to transfer redox knowledge. Then the students’ work with an open- ended biochemical task, where the students had access of the textbook was studied. The students talk about redox reactions, the questions raised by the students, what resources used to answer the questions and what kind of talk developed were investigated. A textbook analysis based on chemistry books from Sweden and one book from England was performed. The redox models used as well as the dealing with redox related learning difficulties was studied. Finally, the students’ conceptions about redox in inorganic, organic and biochemistry after completed chemistry courses were studied. The results show that the students were able to use the electron model as a tool to explain inorganic redox reactions and the mutuality of oxidation and reduction was fundamental.

  • Prebiological Evolution and the Metabolic Origins of Life
    Prebiological Evolution and the Andrew J. Pratt* Metabolic Origins of Life University of Canterbury Keywords Abiogenesis, origin of life, metabolism, hydrothermal, iron Abstract The chemoton model of cells posits three subsystems: metabolism, compartmentalization, and information. A specific model for the prebiological evolution of a reproducing system with rudimentary versions of these three interdependent subsystems is presented. This is based on the initial emergence and reproduction of autocatalytic networks in hydrothermal microcompartments containing iron sulfide. The driving force for life was catalysis of the dissipation of the intrinsic redox gradient of the planet. The codependence of life on iron and phosphate provides chemical constraints on the ordering of prebiological evolution. The initial protometabolism was based on positive feedback loops associated with in situ carbon fixation in which the initial protometabolites modified the catalytic capacity and mobility of metal-based catalysts, especially iron-sulfur centers. A number of selection mechanisms, including catalytic efficiency and specificity, hydrolytic stability, and selective solubilization, are proposed as key determinants for autocatalytic reproduction exploited in protometabolic evolution. This evolutionary process led from autocatalytic networks within preexisting compartments to discrete, reproducing, mobile vesicular protocells with the capacity to use soluble sugar phosphates and hence the opportunity to develop nucleic acids. Fidelity of information transfer in the reproduction of these increasingly complex autocatalytic networks is a key selection pressure in prebiological evolution that eventually leads to the selection of nucleic acids as a digital information subsystem and hence the emergence of fully functional chemotons capable of Darwinian evolution. 1 Introduction: Chemoton Subsystems and Evolutionary Pathways Living cells are autocatalytic entities that harness redox energy via the selective catalysis of biochemical transformations.

  • Redox Potential Measurements M.J
    Redox Potential Measurements M.J. Vepraskas NC State University December 2002 Redox potential is an electrical measurement that shows the tendency of a soil solution to transfer electrons to or from a reference electrode. From this measurement we can estimate whether the soil is aerobic, anaerobic, and whether chemical compounds such as Fe oxides or nitrate have been chemically reduced or are present in their oxidized forms. Making these measurements requires three basic pieces of equipment: 1. Platinum electrode 2. Voltmeter 3. Reference electrode The basic set-up is shown below: Voltmeter 456 mv Soil surface Reference Pt wire electrode Fig. 1. The Pt wire is buried into the soil to be in contact with the soil solution. The reference electrode must also be in contact with the soil solution. It has a ceramic tip, which can be placed in the soil, or the electrode can be placed in a salt bridge, which is itself placed in the soil. Wires from both the Pt electrode and reference electrode are connected to the voltmeter. Pt Electrodes Platinum electrodes consist of a small piece of platinum wire that is soldered or fused to wire made another metal. Platinum conducts electrons from the soil solution to the wire to which it is attached. Platinum is used because it is assumed to be an inert metal. This means it does not give up its own electrons (does not oxidize) to the wire or soil solution. Iron containing materials such as steel will oxidize themselves and send their own electrons to the voltmeter. As a result the voltage we measure will not result solely from electrons being transferred to or from the soil.

  • The Structural and Chemical Origin of the Oxygen Redox Activity in Layered and Cation-Disordered Li-Excess Cathode Materials
    ARTICLES PUBLISHED ONLINE: 30 MAY 2016 | DOI: 10.1038/NCHEM.2524 The structural and chemical origin of the oxygen redox activity in layered and cation-disordered Li-excess cathode materials Dong-Hwa Seo1,2†, Jinhyuk Lee1,2†, Alexander Urban2, Rahul Malik1,ShinYoungKang1 and Gerbrand Ceder1,2,3* Lithium-ion batteries are now reaching the energy density limits set by their electrode materials, requiring new paradigms for Li+ and electron hosting in solid-state electrodes. Reversible oxygen redox in the solid state in particular has the potential to enable high energy density as it can deliver excess capacity beyond the theoretical transition-metal redox- capacity at a high voltage. Nevertheless, the structural and chemical origin of the process is not understood, preventing the rational design of better cathode materials. Here, we demonstrate how very specific local Li-excess environments around oxygen atoms necessarily lead to labile oxygen electrons that can be more easily extracted and participate in the practical capacity of cathodes. The identification of the local structural components that create oxygen redox sets a new direction for the design of high-energy-density cathode materials. ver the past two decades, lithium-ion battery technology has why it is observed with some metals and not with others. The contributed greatly to human progress and enabled many of specific nature of our findings reveals a clear and exciting path Othe conveniences of modern life by powering increasingly towards creating the next generation of cathode materials with capable portable electronics1.

Although all the cycles theoretically require more than 1000 qC in thermodynamic equilibrium condition, the reaction temperature are reduced to below 800 qCn− by no equilibrium techniques using phase transition of metal vapor. In this work, thermodynamic analyses are performed by using the parameters such as operating temperature and partial pressures of the products obtained by the experiments to determine that the alkali metal redox cycles are potential hydrogen production technique as thermochemical energy storage. © 2013 The Authors.

  • Reduction of Nitrogen Oxides by Carbon Monoxide Over an Iron Oxide Catalyst Under Dynamic Conditions
    Applied Catalysis B: Environmental 17 (1998) 357±369 Reduction of nitrogen oxides by carbon monoxide over an iron oxide catalyst under dynamic conditions Harvey Randall, Ralf Doepper, Albert Renken* Institute of Chemical Engineering, Federal Institute of Technology, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland Received 6 July 1997; received in revised form 23 November 1997; accepted 2 December 1997 Abstract The reduction of NO and N2O by CO over a silica-supported iron oxide catalyst was investigated by the transient response method, with different initial oxidation states of the catalyst, i.e. completely reduced (Fe3O4), or oxidised (Fe2O3). The in¯uence of CO pre-adsorption was also studied. From the material balance on the gas phase species, it was shown that the composition of the catalyst changes during relaxation to steady-state. The degree of reduction of the catalyst at steady-state could thus be estimated. During the transient period, CO was shown to inhibit N2O as well as NO reductions by adsorption on reduced sites. The activity of the reduced catalyst was found to be substantially higher as compared to the oxidised catalyst for both reactions. On this basis, it was attempted to keep the catalyst in a reduced state by periodically reducing it with CO. As a result, a signi®cant increase in the performance of the reactor with respect to steady-state operation could be achieved for N2O reduction by CO. Finally, the dynamic behaviour of the N2O±CO and NO±CO reactions made it possible to evidence reaction steps, the occurrence of which could not be shown during our previous investigations on the separate interactions of the reactants with the catalyst.
