Analysis Of Oxidation Of Carbon Monoxide On Rh (110), Razan Tanbour
Senior Honors Theses and Projects
81% of all rhodium (Rh) is used in automobile catalytic converters. Consequently, researchers have dedicated a lot of effort into understanding the behavior of nonmetal oxides on a Rh surface. Using a computer simulation program, we have studied the absorption and oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) on a terraced Rh surface (lattice) with a width of three and a height of 10000 using a mechanism that describes the behavior at low temperatures. Varying the reaction activation energies (rate constants), and the mobility of the CO, led to changes in the surface coverages of oxygen and CO. Specifically, increasing the activation …

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
This chemistry education research study explores the role of computer animations in a secondary chemistry classroom setting. This study examines the effects of animation among secondary science students regarding chemical concepts and focuses on the nature of matter, atomic structure, and classes of chemical reactions. This project observes the effectiveness of animation usage in a secondary science classroom setting, which was measured through student opinions and impressions as well as performance. It was hypothesized that students would retain more information through the use of animations in the classroom. The concepts covered included linking the macroscopic world of chemistry associated with …
