Identify benefits as well as possible downsides. 2 a. A catalytic process that uses O, to oxidize an organic substrate dissolved in hexanes as a solvent, replacing a previous process that required the use of pyridine-N-oxide as an oxidant. b. A catalytic process that allows organic plant matter to be broken down into small organic molecules that can be used to produce fuels and fine chemicals that would otherwise be made from petroleum. c. A catalytic process that uses a mercury salt to catalyze the oxidation of methane to a methanol derivative, circumventing a more traditional route using H, and CO to produce methanol as an intermediate.

It may not surprise you to know that products can show up in the rate law. When the product(s) is(are) a positive order, we describe the rate law as autocatalytic. For example, under conditions of high nitric acid concentrations, this reaction: HNO, + H₂C(OH): → HNO; + HCOOH + H₂O has a rate law: rate = k [H.C(OH).] [HNO₂] Given a rate constant of 0.0255 dm3 mol-1 s-1 and initial concentrations [HNO,] = 5.0 mol dm-3, [H.C(OH).]. = 150 mmol dm-3, [HNO:]. = 8.2 mmol dm-3, how long will it take for the methanediol concentration to fall to 52 mmol dm-3?

Write true if the statement is true, otherwise change the underlined word to make the statement true. 1. Metal A has a higher specific heat than metal B. If the two metals are independently applied with equal heat, it is expected that metal A will have a higher change in temperature. 2. The units for the rate constant of an over-all 1st order reaction is s', when the reaction time is measured in seconds. 3. If K is much greater than 1 (that is, K>>1), the equilibrium will favor the formation of reactants. 4. In the iron-thiocyanate system, increasing the pH would produce a dark orange solution. 5. For a weak acid HA, the equilibrium concentration of H3O* is equal to [HA]i. 6. The buffer region is the pH range where a buffer effectively neutralizes added acids and bases, while maintaining a relatively constant pH. A buffer can be expressed by the Henderson-Hasselbaich equation. 7. 8. Diluting a concentrated weak base, results to an increase in pH. 9. The plot of absorbance versus…

2. Imagine you run a reaction whose free energy of activation (AG*) is 18 kcal/mol. If it were a first order reaction, its’ half life (the time for half the starting material to go away) or half the product to form (assuming a 100% yield) would by In2/k where k is the rate constant. How long will it take for the reaction to be done if you run the reaction in an ice-salt bath at room temperature (20 °C) if the rate constant were 1 x 104/sec?
