Old-fashioned smelling salts consist of ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3. The reaction for the decomposition of ammonium carbonate (NH4)2CO3(s)2NH3(g)+CO(g)+H2O(g) is endothermic. Would the smell of ammonia increase or decrease as the temperature is increased?
Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
For the following reaction C(s)+2H2(g)CH4(g) K=0.26 at 1000C (3 significant figures). What is the equilibrium constant at 750C (3 significant figures)?
a What happens to a reaction rate as temperature drops? Give two explanations for the change. State which one is more important and explain why. b How does a catalyst affect reaction rates? c Compare reaction rates when a given reactant concentration is high with the rate when the concentration is low. Explain the difference.
If a textbook defined a catalyst as "a substance that increases the rate of a reaction," would that definition be adequate?
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.)
The reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen to form methanol is quite slow at room temperature. As a general rule, reactions go faster at higher temperatures. Suppose that you tried to speed up this reaction by increasing the temperature. (a) Assuming that rH does not change very much as the temperature changes, what effect would increasing the temperature have on rSsurroundings? (b) Assuming that rS for a reaction System does not change much as the temperature changes, what effect would increasing the temperature have on rSuniverse?
