For the past 10 years, the unsaturated hydrocarbon 1, 3-butadiene (CH2 = CH - CH = CH2) has ranked 38th among the top 50 industrial Chemicals. It is used primarily for the manufacture of synthetic rubber. An isomer exists also as cyclobutene: The isomerization of cyclobutene to butadiene is first-order and the rate constant has been measured as 2.0104s1 at 150 C in a 0.53-L ?ask. Determine the partial pressure of cyclobutene and its concentration after 30.0 minutes if an isomerization reaction is carried out at 150 C with an initial pressure of 55 torr.
The hydrolysis of the sugar sucrose to the sugars glucose and fructose, C12H22O11+H2OC6H12O6+C6H12O6 follows a first-order rate equation for the disappearance of sucrose: Rate =k[C12H22O11] (The products of the reaction, glucose and fructose, have the same molecular formulas but differ in the arrangement of the atoms in their molecules.) (a) In neutral solution, k=2.11011s1 at 27 C and 8.51011s1 at 37 C. Determine the activation energy, the frequency factor, and the rate constant for this equation at 47 C (assuming the kinetics remain consistent with the Arrhenius equation at this temperature). (b) When a solution of sucrose with an initial concentration of 0.150 M reaches equilibrium, the concentration of sucrose is 1.65107M . How long will it take the solution to reach equilibrium at 27 C in the absence of a catalyst? Because the concentration of sucrose at equilibrium is so low, assume that the reaction is irreversible. (c) Why does assuming that the reaction is irreversible simplify the calculation in pan (b)?

In a first-order reaction, suppose that a quantity X of a reactant is added at regular intervals of time, t. At first the amount of reactant in the system builds up; eventually, however, it levels off at a saturation value given by the expression a saturation value saturationvalue= x110a where a=0.30tt1/2 This analysis applies to prescription drugs, of which you take a certain amount each day. Suppose that you take 0.100 g of a drug three times a day and that the half-life for elimination is 2.0 days. Using this equation, calculate the mass of the drug in the body at saturation. Suppose further that side effects show up when 0.500 g of the drug accumulates in the body. As a pharmacist, what is the maximum dosage you could assign to a patient for an 8-h period without causing side effects?
A drug decomposes in the blood by a first-order process. A pill containing 0.500 g of the active ingredient reaches its maximum concentration of 2.5 mg/ 100 mL of blood. If the half-life of the active ingredient is 75 min, what is its concentration in the blood 2.0 h after the maximum concentration has been reached?
One possible mechanism for the decomposition of nitryl chloride, NO2CI, is What is the overall reaction? What rate law would be derived from this mechanism? What effect does increasing the concentration of the product NO2 have on the reaction rate?
Derive an expression for the half-life of a a third order reaction;b a reaction whose order is =1; c a reaction whose order is 12. In these last two cases, examples are rare but known.
Many biochemical reactions are catalyzed by acids. A typical mechanism consistent with the experimental results (in which HA is the acid and X is the reactant) is Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Derive the rate law from this mechanism. Determine the order of reaction with respect to HA. Determine how doubling the concentration of HA would affect the rate of the reaction.
If you know some calculus, derive the integrated first-order rate law for the reaction by following these steps: Define the reaction rate in terms of [A]. Write the rate law in terms of [A], k, and t. Separate variables in the rate law. Integrate the rate law. Write the integrated equation in the form . Derive the half-life as was done in Section 11-3c.
What is the difference between the integrated and differential forms of the rate law?
Explain why half-lives are not normally used to describe reactions other than first order.
As with any drug, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) must remain in the bloodstream long enough to be effective. Assume that the removal of aspirin from the bloodstream into the urine is a lirst-order reaction, with a half-life of about 3 hours. The instructions on an aspirin bottle say to take 1 or 2 tablets every 4 hours. If a person takes 2 aspirin tablets, how much aspirin remains in the bloodstream when it is time for the second dose? (A standard tablet contains 325 mg of aspirin.)
