11.44 A possible reaction for the degradation of the pesticide DDT to a less harmful compound was simulated in the laboratory. The reaction was found to be first order, with k = 4.0 X 10_H s"' at 25°C. What is the half-life for the degradation of DDT in this experiment, in years?
11.41 For a drug to be effective in treating an illness, its levels in the bloodstream must be maintained for a period of time. One way to measure the level of a drug in the body is to measure its rate of appearance in the urine. The rate of excretion of penicillin is first order, with a half-life of about 30 min. If a person receives an injection of 25 mg of penicillin at t = 0, how much penicillin remains in the body after 3 hours?
The decomposition of sulfuryl chloride, SO2Cl2, to sulfur dioxide and chlorine gases is a first-order reaction. SO2Cl2(g)SO2(g)+Cl2(g)At a certain temperature, the half-life of SO2Cl2 is 7.5102 min. Consider a sealed flask with 122.0 g of SO2Cl2. (a) How long will it take to reduce the amount of SO2Cl2 in the sealed flask to 45.0 g? (b) If the decomposition is stopped after 29.0 h, what volume of Cl2 at 27C and 1.00 atm is produced?
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)?
