Making
Reaction Flip Movies in PowerPoint.
First: Download this How-to
presentation. Read the presentation.
Project 1A and 1B. Look
at a completed project: NO2 + CO -->
NO + CO2 This project is done as a 1-step mechanism (incorrect) and a
2-step mechanism (correct)
Next pick a reaction to work on from this list. All of these
are in PowerPoint and involve just one mechanism as described
within each.
Project 2. 2 N2O
--> 2 N2 + O2
(two steps: Step 1 unimolecular, Step 2 bimolecular; first step
slow)
Project 3. NO2
+ F2 --> 2 NO2F
(two steps: Both steps bimolecular; first step slow)
Project 4. 2 O3
--> 3 O2 (two steps: Step 1 unimolecular, Step 2
bimolecular; second step slow)
Project 5. H2
+ ICl --> HI + HCl (two
steps: Both steps bimolecular; first step slow)
Project 6. 2 NO + O2
--> 2 NO2 (wo
steps: Both steps bimolecular, second step slow)
Project 7. 2 NO + Cl2
--> 2 NOCl (two steps: Both steps
bimolecular, second step slow; second step slow) See a student project.
Project 8. 2 NO2Cl
--> 2 NO2 + Cl2 (two steps: Step 1 unimolecular,
Step 2 bimolecular; first step slow)
Project 9. 2 NO + 2 H2
--> N2 + 2 H2O
(three steps; first step slow)
Project 10. H2
+ I2 --> 2 HI (three steps,
second step slow, endothermic)
