2. The investigation of the reaction represented by the equation: X (g) + Y (g) → Z (g), allowed to establish that the reactive cross-section in this reaction at 25.0 °C was 7.50 x 10-21 m². This was possible when comparing the experimental Arrhenius factor with the one predicted using collision theory. It is also known that the collision cross- sections of X and Y, estimated from their transport properties, are 0.95 nm² and 0.65 nm², respectively. a) If the masses are 15.5 amu and 21.7 amu for X and Y, respectively, and the rate constant is 5.25 mM-1 s-1, determine the activation energy of this reaction. b) If the steric factor in this reaction is assumed to be 1, by how much would the reaction rate increase?

Knowledge about the speed of chemical reactions is extremely important for industrial production, especially when optimizing a process. In this sense, strategies can be developed based on changes in the surface area, concentration of reactants, system temperature, and the use of catalysts. Considering this information, analyze the following statements: I. The frequency and orientation of collisions between the reacting species, as well as the amount of energy in the system, are determining factors for the formation of the activated complex. II. The use of catalysts provides an alternative pathway for the formation of the activated complex with lower activation energy, consequently increasing the reaction rate. III. Exothermic transformations are more advantageous because they release energy during product formation, thereby eliminating the need to supply energy to the reactants. Is it correct to assert that:

Why does the product (a•b), rather than the sum (a + b) appear in the Law of Mass Action? This is sometimes brought up to demonstrate how/why nonlinear terms arise in differential equations. The law of mass action states that The rate of a chemical reaction involving an interaction of two or more chemical species is proportional to the product of the concentrations of the given species. This is NOT an assignment...I'm just curious and trying to understand mathematical relations better. Thanks!
