Page 1 of 1 L4 Chemical Kinetics Part II, Chapter 3 CHM 11600 Prelab Questions As part of your individual preparation for lab, read the experiment and Appendix D (Spectroscopy) and answer the following questions. You will take a quiz on Blackboard related to these practice questions AND the lab procedure. The quiz is due at YOUR lab start time. 1. Write the rate law you determined last week for the reaction of crystal violet with sodium hydroxide. 2. Could the mechanism for the reaction of crystal violet with sodium hydroxide consist of one elementary step? Explain. 3. Predict how an increase in temperature will affect the rate of the reaction of crystal violet with sodium hydroxide. Explain your prediction based on “collision theory” (Section 16.5) . 4. If a catalyst were added to the reaction of crystal violet with sodium hydroxide, list three properties of the reaction that could change. 5. Explain why it is necessary to repeat the creation of a crystal violet standard curve (calibration plot) in lab this week. 6. Review equation (11) on p. 59 of the CHM 11600 lab manual. a. Define each of the terms in this equation. b. Specify the units for R and T. c. State which values will be calculated using data gathered in lab. 7. How will you determine values of k for the reaction of crystal violet with sodium hydroxide at 4 different temperatures? 8. A student in lab determined the value of the rate constant, k, for a certain chemical reaction at several different temperatures. She graphed ln k vs. 1/T and found the best-fit linear trendline to have the equation y = ‒5680 x + 4.657. What is the activation energy, E a , for this reaction? (R = 8.314 J/mol K) 9. Describe how you will control the temperature of each of the reactions you will run in lab this week. Be specific. 10. Review the MSDS for crystal violet found at the link below . Define the term “LD50.” What is the toxicity (LD50) of crystal violet in rats? Based on this information, estimate the lethal dose of crystal violet for a 150 pound human. What volume of the crystal violet solution provided in lab (5 x 10 3 M) would be considered a lethal dose for a 150-pound human? safety data sheet - Fisher Scientific
