Homogeneous Catalysis and Turnover Frequency

Homogeneous catalysis refers to a type of catalytic reaction in which the catalyst and the reactants are in the same phase (usually liquid). In this type of reaction, the catalyst interacts with the reactants to facilitate the formation of products. One important parameter to characterize the efficiency of a homogeneous catalyst is the turnover frequency (TOF), which measures the number of substrate molecules converted into products per unit time by each catalyst molecule.

Given Information:
- Substrate (S) = 1 mole = 1000 millimoles
- Catalyst (C) = 1 micromole = 0.001 millimoles
- Product (P) = 1 millimole
- Time (t) = 10 sec

Calculating Turnover Frequency (TOF):
The turnover frequency (TOF) can be calculated using the following formula:

TOF = (moles of substrate converted to product) / (moles of catalyst × time)

In this case, we are given the moles of substrate, catalyst, and product, as well as the time taken for the reaction. We can directly substitute these values into the formula to calculate TOF.

TOF = (1 millimole) / (0.001 millimoles × 10 sec)
TOF = 100 millimoles per second

Converting TOF to the Correct Answer:
The given answer is '100'. However, the calculated TOF is 100 millimoles per second. To convert this value to the given answer format, we need to convert seconds to minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds

TOF = 100 millimoles per second × 60 seconds per minute
TOF = 6000 millimoles per minute

Now, we need to convert millimoles per minute to moles per minute.

1 mole = 1000 millimoles

TOF = 6000 millimoles per minute / 1000 millimoles per mole
TOF = 6 moles per minute

Since the given answer is '100', it seems there was an error in the calculation or conversion. The correct answer should be '6' moles per minute based on the provided information.
