There are some catalysts which decrease the rateof reaction and such catalysts are called negative catalyst. Obviously, the catalyst accelerating the rate willbe positive catalyst. However, the term positive is seldom used and catalyst itself implies positive catalyst.Catalysts are generally foreign substances but sometimes one of the product formed may act as a catalystand such a catalyst is called \\\"auto catalyst\\\" and the phenomenon is called auto catalysis.Thermal decomposition of KClO is found to be accelerated by the presence of MnO . Here, MnO (foreign322substance) act as a catalyst 2KClO + [MnO ] 32\uf0be\uf0be\uf0ae2KCl + 3O2\uf0ad\uf020+ [MnO ]2MnO can be received in the same composition and mass at the end of the reaction.2In the permanganate titration of oxalic acid in the presence of bench H SO (acid medium), it is found24that there is slow discharge of the colour of permanganate solution in the beginning but after sometimethe discharge of the colour becomes faster. This is due to the formation of MnSO during the reaction4which acts as a catalyst for the same reaction. Thus, MnSO is an \\\"auto catalyst\\\" for this reaction. This4is an example of auto catalyst.2KMnO + 4H SO + 5H C O 424222\uf0be\uf0be\uf0ae K SO + 8H O + 10CO2422\uf071General Characteristic of Catalyst\uf075A catalyst does not initiate the reaction, it simply fastens it.\uf075Only a small amount of catalyst can catalyse the reaction.\uf075A catalyst does not alter the position of equilibrium i.e. magnitude of equilibrium constant and hence\uf044G\u00b0. It simply lowers the time needed to attain equilibrium. This mean if a reversible reaction inabsence of catalyst completes to go to the extent of 75% till attainment of equilibrium, and this stateof equilibrium is attained in 20 minutes then in presence of a catalyst also the reaction will go to75% of completion before the attainment of equilibrium but the time needed for this will be lessthan 20 minutes.\uf075A catalyst drives the reaction through a different route for which energy barrier is of shortest heightand Hence, E is of lower magnitude.

It is, thereforegood approximation to take d[I]dt= 0, for each reaction intermediate.This is steady state (stationary state) approximation.2 5 .RADIOACTIVITY :All radioactive decay follows first order kinetics and this is where the similarity ends. This will be explainedlater in the chapter.We have measured the rate of reaction in chemical kinetics based on the rate of change of concentrationof reactants or products. But this procedure will not work for calculating the rate of a radioactive reaction.This is because most of the time the radioactive substance is a solid. Therefore, its concentration wouldbe a constant with time (assuming it to be pure and that the product does not remain with the reactants).Therefore, the rate of radioactive reactions is measured by calculating the rate of change of number ofnuclei of the radioactive substance.For a radioactive decay A \uf0ae B, the rate of reaction is calculated asAAdNNdt\uf02d\uf03d \uf06cwhere = decay constant of reaction.\uf06cN = number of nuclei of the radioactive substance at the time when rate is calculated.AAs you can see, the above rate law is very much similar to the rate law of a first order chemical reaction,but all other similarities ceases here. For example unlike a chemical reaction the decay constant ( ) does\uf06cnot depend on temperature. Arrhenius equation is not valid for radioactive decay.AAdNNdt\uf02d\uf03d \uf06c","Integrating the differential rate law, we get\u2013t0NtAAN0dNdtN\uf03d \uf06c\uf0f2\uf0f2log 0tNN= t\uf06cwhereN0 = number of nuclei of A, at t = 0N = number of nuclei of A, at t = tt\uf06c = decay constantThe expression can be rearranged to giveN = N et0\u2013 t \uf06c..............(1)This suggest that the number of nuclei of radioactive substance A at any instant of time can be calculated,if we know the number of nuclei at t = 0, its decay constant and the time.\uf075Half-LifeJust like a first order reaction, the half-life of radioactive decay is given byt1\/2 = 0.693\uf06c[Note : Let us start with 10 nuclei. If the half-life is 5 minutes, then at the end of first 5 minutes, numberof nuclei would be 5. Now, what would be the number of nuclei after next 5 minutes ? Will it be 2.5 or2 or 3 ? We can clearly see that it cannot be 2.5 and if it is 2 or 3 then it cannot be called as half-life.This dilemma can be overcome by understanding that all formula relating to kinetics are only valid whenthe sample size is very large and in such a large sample size, a small difference of 0.5 will be insignificant.The fact that radioactive decay follows the exponential law implies that this phenomenon is statistical innature. Every nucleus in a sample of a radionuclide has a certain probability of decaying, but there is noway to know in advance which nuclei will actually decay in a particular time span. If the sample is largeenough, i.e. if many nuclei are present - the actual fraction of it that decays in a certain time span willbe very close to the probability for any individual nucleus to decay. To say that, a certain radioisotope hasa half-life of 5 hr. signifies that every nucleus of this isotope has a 50 percent chance of decaying in every5 hr. period. This does not mean probability of 100 percent decaying is 10 hr. A nucleus does not havea memory, and its decay probability per unit time is constant until it actually does decay. A half-life of 5hr. implies a 75 probability of decay in 10 hr., which increases to 87.5% in 15 hr., to 93.75% in 20 hr.,and so on, because in every 5 hr. The probability of decay is 50 percent.\uf075Average\u2013Life TimeAverage life time is defined as the life time of a single isolated nucleus. Let us imagine, a single nucleuswhich decays in 1 second. Assuming 1 second time interval to be very small, the rate of change of nucleiwould be 1\/1 (because \u2013dN = 1 and dt = 1). We can also see that since dNN , for a single isolateddt\uf02d\uf03d \uf06cnucleus N = 1,dNdt\uf02d\uf03d \uf06c. Therefore, in this present case, = 1.\uf06cNow, let us assume, the same nucleus decays in 2 seconds, we can see that dNdt\uf02d, i.e. is equal to \u00bd .\uf06cYou will also notice that in the 1 case the nucleus survived for 1 second and in the second case it survivedstfor 2 seconds. Therefore, the life time of a single isolated nucleus is 1\uf06c .\uf05ct =av1\uf06c","\uf075Activity :Activity is the rate of decay of a radioactive element. It is represented as 'A' and is equal to N. By no\uf06cmeans should activity be confused with rate of change of radioactive nuclei represented by dNdt\uf02d. Thisis because dNdt\uf02d talks about the overall change in the number of nuclei in a given instant of time whileactivity only talks about that change which is decay. For example, if you go to a market with Rs. 50 inyour pocket and you spend Rs. 20 in 5 minutes then your rate of change of money in the wallet is Rs.4\/min and in fact the rate of spending the money is also Rs. 4\/min. Here, you can see both are same.But if while spending Rs. 20 in 5 minutes, somebody keeps Rs. 10 in your wallet, then the rate of changeof money in your wallet would become Rs. 2.5 \/min while the rate of spending the money is Rs. 4\/min.This implies that as long as the radioactive substance is only decaying the rate of change of nuclei andactivity are same and Eq.(1) in terms activity of radioactive substance can be written as At = A e . But0\u2013 t \uf06cif the radioactive substance is also being produced, then dNdt = rate of production \u2013 activity (of courseit's a different matter that rate of production may or may not be a constant).\uf075Specific ActivityIt is defined as per unit mass of the sample. Let, radioactive sample weighing w g have a decay constant\uf06c.

Thus, a chain reaction can occur. A nuclear chain reaction is a self sustaining seriesof nuclear fissions caused by the previous neutrons released from the previous nuclear reactions.1235n + U09256Ba + n140 1092235U+ n 1092U 23536Kr + n931092U 2350n 192235U0n 192235U0n 192235UThere should be critical amount of the fissionable material to maintain fission chain. This in turn requires,minimum critical mass of the fissionable material. It is the small mass of the fissionable material in whichchain reaction can be sustained. If mass is larger than critical mass (supercritical mass), then the numberof nuclei that split, multiplies rapidly. An atomic bomb is detonated with small amount of chemical explosivethat push together two or more masses of fissionable material to get a supercritical mass.A nuclear fission reactor is a device that permits a controlled chain nuclear fissions. Control rods made ofelements such as boron and cadmium, absorb additional neutrons and can therefore, slow the chain reactions.3 0 .NUCLEAR FUSION :It is a nuclear reaction in which two lighter nuclei are fused together to form a heavier nuclei. To achievethis, colliding nuclei must posses enough kinetic energy to overcome the initial force of repulsion betweenthe positively charged core. At very high temperature of the order of 10 to 10 K, the nuclei may have67the sufficient energy to overcome the repulsive forces and fuse. Such reactions are therefore also knownas thermonuclear reactions.23411120HHHen 17.8MeV\uf02b\uf0be\uf0be\uf0ae\uf02b\uf02b224112HHHe 24.9 MeV\uf02b\uf0be\uf0be\uf0ae\uf02b134112HHHe 20.0 MeV\uf02b\uf0be\uf0be\uf0ae\uf02b714312LiHHe 17.7 MeV\uf02b\uf0be\uf0be\uf0ae\uf02bThe energy of fusion process is due to mass defect (converted into binding energy). The high temperaturerequired to initiate such reaction may be attained initially through fission process.Hydrogen bomb is based on the principle of fusion reactions. Energy released is so enormous that it is about1000 times that of atomic bomb. In hydrogen bomb, a mixture of deuterium oxide (D O) and tritium oxide2(T O) is enclosed in space surrounding an ordinary atomic bomb. The temperature produced by the explosion2of the atomic bomb initiates the fusion reaction between 21H and 31H releasing huge amount of energy..It is believed that the high temperature of stars including the sun is due to fusion reactions.
