. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.
Consider the following statements: In general, the rate of a chemical reaction increases a bit at first because it takes a while for the reaction to get warmed up. After that, however, the rate of the reaction decreases because its rate is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and these are decreasing. Indicate everything that is correct in these statements, and indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect statements and explain.
11.102 Suppose that you are studying a reaction and need to determine its rate law. Explain what you would need to measure in order to accomplish this in a single experiment, and how you could use graphical methods to get from the experimental data to a complete rate law.
One of the concerns about the use of Freons is that they will migrate to the upper atmosphere, where chlorine atoms can be generated by the following reaction: CCl2F2(g)Freon-12hvCF2Cl(g)+Cl(g) Chlorine atoms can act as a catalyst for the destruction of ozone. The activation energy for the reaction Cl(g) + O3(g) ClO(g) + O2(g) Is 2.1 kJ/mol. Which is the more effective catalyst for the destruction of ozone, Cl or NO? (See Exercise 75.)
Determine rxnH 25 C for the following reaction: NO g O2 g NO2 g This reaction is a major participant in the formation of smog.
Why awe elementary reactions involving three or more reactants very uncommon?
A reaction is started by mixing reactants. As time passes, the rate decreases. Explain this behavior that is characteristic of most reactions.
For the reaction of crystal violet with NaOH(aq), the measured rate of reaction is 1.27 106 mol L1 s1 when the concentration of crystal violet cation is 4.13 105 mol/L. (a) Estimate how long it will take for the concentration of crystal violet to drop from 4.30 105 mol/L to 3.96 105 mol/L. (b) Could you use the same method to make an accurate estimate of how long it would take for the concentration of crystal violet to drop from 4.30 105 mol/L to 0.43 105 mol/L? Explain why or why not.
A friend of yours states, A balanced equation tells us how chemicals interact. Therefore, we can determine the rate law directly from the balanced equations. What do you tell your friend?
The label on a bottle of 3% (by volume) hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, purchased at a grocery store, states that the solution should be stored in a cool, dark place. H2O2decomposes slowly over time, and the rate of decomposition increases with an increase in temperature and in the presence of light. However, the rate of decomposition increases dramatically if a small amount of powdered MnO- is added to the solution. The decomposition products are H2O and O2. MnO2 is not consumed in the reaction. Write the equation for the decomposition of H2O2. What role does MnO2 play? In the chemistry lab, a student substituted a chunk of MnO2 for the powdered compound. The reaction rate was not appreciably increased. WTiat is one possible explanation for this observation? Is MnO2 part of the stoichiometry of the decomposition of H2O2?
