Don Eigler and the 1989 IBM Atomic Image

The question “What is everything made out of” is one of the most fundamental questions of mankind, right up there with “Why are we here?”,

and “Will that be on the test?”. Recorded ideas date back over 6000 years,1first popularized in the west by the work of Democritus.

Arguably the most compelling evidence for the atom being the fundamental particle of nature involves the human senses- smell, touch, sight,

etc. Because of the small size of the atom, none of these are directly possible, so perhaps the next best thing is to observe it with the help of

an instrument. This may have first occurred as early as 1981,2

but the image that popularized it was taken by Dr. Don Eigler in 1989.3

Don Eigler is a ponytailed, well educated physicist and surfer. In 1989, he designed his own scanning tunneling microscope. An image of him with

his instrument was taken during a 2006 interview.4

While studying the surfaces of solids, he came up with the idea of limiting the movement

of atoms by performing his experiments at a few degrees Kelvin- close to absolute zero. In his own words from the 2006 interview, he found

that

“Through a combination of hard work, some horse sense and good, old fashioned blind luck, I happened to be positioned to discover that I could

manipulate individual atoms with a scanning tunneling microscope.”

Having discovered the ability to move individual atoms, Eigler decided to create a work of art to document his discovery. What he created is an

image of the letters I B M using the noble gas Xenon, a dense and unreactive colorless gas. Was he forced at gunpoint to do the bidding of his

IBM bosses?? According to Eigler:

“I made that decision on my own. Management never said anything to me beforehand, and I did it with a very clear purpose in my mind. IBM

gave me a job, gave me the opportunity when I needed one, gave me the opportunity to excel at doing the things that I love in life, and it

was payback time. I pull no punches on that. It was my way of giving back to the corporation some of what the corporation gave to me.”

Does Eigler get bored recounting the discovery, now that two decades have passed?

“I don't mind talking to people when they're curious, for instance, about what I was thinking about or why did I do this or something like that.

The thing is that I always get introduced to people as the guy who wrote I-B-M in atoms. After you have heard that enough times, you don't really

need to hear it five more times.”

Eiglers current interests are in the field of Spintronics,5 a speculative field where future computers will be based not electricity (the translational

movement of electrons) but on their spin…a sort of electricity where the electrons stay where they are.

Unit 14

The problem with chemical reactions is that the reverse reaction can, and usually does occur. To put

it another way, for the reaction AB, while A ⇌ is being converted to B, B is often being converted

back to A. And what good is that?! This is equilibrium, a balance between forward and reverse

reactions. In a sense, this means that a chemical reaction is never “done”; it never stops; it simply

gets to a point where the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse

reaction. Fortunately it is usually an easy matter to destroy this reversibility, this equilibrium. For

example a reaction can be irreversibly driven to completion by removing the products as they are

formed.

Note that this doesn’t necessarily mean the reaction will now happen quickly: equilibrium and rate are

two separate aspects of a chemical reaction…and just what is the relationship between equilibrium

and rate? What does it mean to have something that can go forwards and backwards at the same

time, at different speeds? Will the product ever form? Will the product ever stay formed?

In practice, reversible reactions can give lousy yields of product, and chemists are always trying to

come up with a way to drive the reaction to completion.

The graph below shows the typical result of a reversible chemical reaction. Dinitrogen tetroxide is

decomposing into nitrogen dioxide, but since the reaction is reversible, the reaction never goes to

completion.

In this unit we will learn how to

calculate the concentrations of

reactants and products at equilibrium,

and we will use several methods to

adjust the equilibrium in the direction

we prefer. ∏

How do I recognize and deal with a reversible chemical reaction?

Paper Clip Equilibrium Activity

To demonstrate the characteristics of a reversible chemical reaction, imagine the reaction

A + B C below:

This is an example of a _______________ reaction. The reverse reaction is an example of a

_________ reaction. At your instructors prompts, make as many C molecules as you can in 15

seconds. Then see how many you can take apart in 15 seconds. Record your answers in the box.

6. Before returning the materials to the front of the classroom, be certain the composition of the

paper clips in the pile are the same as when your received them.

Summary Question:

You have just simulated a reversible chemical reaction. In actual practice, the rate of a chemical

reaction at constant temperature and pressure slows down over time until there is no change in the

ratio of product to reactants. Explain this using collision theory.

Perfume Lab

Introduction:

Esters may be prepared through the reaction of a carboxylic acid RCO2H with an Alcohol (R’OH),

using a small amount of sulfuric acid as a catalyst.

RCO2H + R’OH + H2SO4 RCO2R’ + H2O + H2SO4

carboxylic acid alcohol sulfuric acid ester water sulfuric acid

Esters often have strong pleasant aromas. Carefully guarded mixtures of esters create expensive

perfumes including Chanel #5, Aramis (for men) and others, some of which sell for hundreds of

dollars per bottle. In this lab each student will create his own ester, and we will then share them to

make perfumes.

For this chemical reaction, all of these reactants and products remain in solution. Therefore this

reaction is reversible, and yields for this reaction can be low. In this experiment we will investigate

the equilibrium mixture for this mixture after 24 hours.

Materials:

Carboxylic acids listed on board

Alcohols listed on board

Sulfuric Acid (to be distributed by instructor) as a catalyst

.

Chemical Reaction Procedure:

Mix 0.1 moles of your carboxylic acid, 0.1 moles of ethanol, and 5 drops of sulfuric acid. The

calculations below will help make sure you are using the right amounts. Heat but do not boil on

a hot plate for 20 minutes then store covered overnight.

Page 305: chemistryadventure updated 8.27.2011

Calculations:

My carboxylic acid has a formula of _____, therefore one mole has a mass of ______g, and

0.1 mole has a mass of ______g.

My alcohol has a formula of ______, therefore one mole has a mass of ______g, and 0.1 mole

has a mass of ______g.

Workup

The following day, carefully neutralize the mixture with a measured amount of baking soda (NaHCO3).

This reaction required ____g of baking soda for neutralization.

Calculation: Sodium bicarbonate has a molecular formula of NaHCO3. Therefore one mole of NaHCO3

has a mass of ____g and 0.1 mole has a mass of ____g. Since ____ g of sodium bicarbonate reacted,

this is ____moles of sodium bicarbonate. Therefore it reacted with ____moles of my carboxylic

acid. Based on this we estimate that the reaction is ____% complete.

All of the substances in the mixture are water soluble, except the fragrant ester you have produced.

Bottle and artistically label the ester you have created.

If time permits, combine small amounts of your perfume with those made by others to create your

Directions: Write the equilibrium constant expression for each of the equations illustrated below

and solve for the missing value.

1. Lead sulfide may be prepared under high pressure by the reaction of lead with elemental sulfur:

Pb(g) +S(g) ↔ (PbS(g)

What is the value of the equilibrium constant (Keq) if [Pb] = 0.30 mol/L and [S] = 0.184 mol/L,

and [PbS] is 2.00 mol/L?

eq a b

[C] [D]K

[A] [B]

And then plugging in the given data and solving for the unknown.

Example: For the reaction of carbon monoxide with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, determine the

equilibrium concentration of carbon dioxide when the concentration of carbon monoxide is 0.8

moles/liter, the concentration of oxygen is 2.1 moles/liter, and the equilibrium constant is 225.

[CO ] [CO ]K ; 225

[CO] [O ] [0.8] [2.1]

Finally, we solve for the concentration of carbon dioxide: 2

Le Chatelier’s Principle

Henri Le Chatelier came up with a cryptic quote for explaining what causes chemical equilibrium, and

what to do about it:

"Placing a stress on an equilibrium causes the equilibrium to shift so as to relieve the stress"

What he was referring to were some common things one can do to modify a chemical reaction and the

net result:

Add reactant: reaction moves forward ()

Add product: Reaction moves backward (reverse;

Add temperature: Moves forward if endothermic (positive DH)

Add pressure: moves toward the fewer number of moles.

Remember, liquids and solids are considered to be outside of the reaction mixture – don’t

count them when adding up moles.

1. For the following reaction

5 CO(g) + I2O5(s) I2(g) + 5 CO2(g) DHo = -1175 kJ/mol

for each change listed, predict the equilibrium shift and the effect on the indicated quantity.

Example: For the aqueous reaction of table salt with magnesium sulfide, the standard enthalpy of

formation is +22.6 kJ/mol. Predict the equilibrium shift if the temperature is increased, if the

pressure is increased, or if sodium sulfide is added to the reaction mixture.

Solution: We begin by writing a balanced chemical equation:

2NaCl (aq) + MgS (aq) ↔ Na2S (aq) + MgCl2 (aq) DHo = +22.6 kJ/mol

Note that in this case 3 moles of reactants form 2 moles of products, and that the standard

enthalpy of formation indicates this reaction is endothermic. Using this information and the tips

at the top of this worksheet, we can conclude

Increasing temperature will shift the equilibrium forward () since this reaction needs

heat

Increasing pressure will shift the equilibrium forward ( ) since the product has fewer

moles

Adding sodium sulfide is like adding water to a fire, and shift the equilibrium backwards

How to Ace the Equilibrium Exam

In our previous unit we investigated the rate of chemical reactions- how fast do they go? In this

equilibrium unit we point out that even if a reaction is going fast, it might not be going very far

overall if the reverse reaction is also occurring. This is the big idea behind chemical equilibrium, the

condition where the rate of a forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction.

We can write the equilibrium constant expression and from this we can determine if we are getting

anywhere or whether the reaction is standing still. Generally speaking, if we mix chemicals together

we would like them to go forward, and this will happen if the value of the equilibrium constant (Keq) is

greater than one. Note that Keq is only true at a specific temperature, and it says nothing about the

rate of a reaction- only the direction.

A nice benefit of the equilibrium constant expression is that it can also tell you what the

concentration of a reactant is, given enough information.

Since chemical equilibrium can prevent a reaction from going to completion, it would be nice to know

how we can destroy it, or at least get things moving forward. Simple. To destroy chemical equilibrium,

one must remove the product as it is formed- this makes the reverse reaction impossible. This is

accomplished by having the product precipitate, for example by precipitating as a solid. As a general

rule, this is why we omit liquids and solids from our equilibrium constant expression. In practice, it is

easy to observe a precipitate. Examples include the gaseous precipitate we observe when we mix

baking soda and vinegar, or the solids that crash out of solution during many double replacement

reactions. These reactions can only move forward, since collisions between products to form

reactants are no longer possible.

There are several other ways one can adjust chemical equilibrium. Known as Le Chatelier’s Principle,

the direction of a reaction after a stress is applied may be summarized:

Le Chatelier’s Principle

Adding reactant:

Adding product:

Heating: if endothermic

Pressurizing: if there are fewer moles of product

Each of these may be reversed; for example cooling an endothermic reaction will favor the reverse

reaction.

Imagine going on a trip. It’s nice to know in what direction you are going, and how long it will take.

These last two units have shown us just that for a chemical reaction. In the next unit we can apply

these navigational skills to the study of acids and bases.
