10. The rate of change in colour of iodide (yellow) can be measured as it reacts with colourless hypochlorite, OCI (ag): I (aq) + OCI(aq) I0- (aq) + Cl (aq) a. Different concentrations of reactants are combined at the same temperature and the rate of yellow colour disappearance were measured: Rate of colour Trial Initial [I] (mol/L) Initial [OCI(ag)) change (mol/(L s) 0.12 0.18 7.91 x 102 1 0.18 3.95 x 102 0.060 0.090 0.030 9.88 x 103 3 0.24 7.91 x 102 4 0.090 Using the data provided, calculate the value of the rate constant, including units b. Predict the rate of reaction if both reactants have an equal starting concentration of 0.10 mol/1.
Iodine is sparingly soluble in water but much more so in carbon tetrachloride. The equilibrium constant, also called the partition coefficient, for the distribution of I2 between these two phases I2(aq) =12(CCI4) is 83 at 20°C. (a) A student adds 0.028 L of CCI4 to 0.213 L of an aqueous solution containing 0.037 g I2. The mixture is shaken and the two phases are then allowed to separate. Calculate the fraction of I2 remaining in the aqueous phase. 4.0 (b) The student now repeats the extraction of I2 with another 0.028 L of CCI4. Calculate the fraction of I2 from the original solution that remains in the aqueous phase. 4.0 (c) Compare the result in (b) with a single extraction using 0.056 L of CCI4. Comment on the difference. After a single extraction using 0.056 L of CCI4, the fraction of I2 that remains in the aqueous phase is 40 This result is larger than the result in (b), which means that a single large extraction is not as efficient as two separate smaller extractions.
2C4H6(g) → C8H12(g) At high temperatures, the compound C4H6 (1,3-butadiene) reacts according to the equation above. The rate of the reaction was studied at 625 K in a rigid reaction vessel. Two different trials, each shown with a different starting concentration, were carried out. The data were plotted in three different ways, as shown below. (a) For trial 1, calculate the initial pressure, in atm, in the vessel at 625 K. Assume that initially all the gas present in the vessel is C4H6. (Hint-this is a gas law problem from chemistry last year) (b) Use the data plotted in the graphs to determine the order of the reaction with respect to C4H6. (c) The initial rate of the reaction in trial 1 is 0.0010 mol/(L *s). Calculate the rate constant, k, for the reaction at 625 K.
3.6 L of an ideal diatomic gas A, at P = 1.15 atm is confined in a rigid vessel and held at a constant temperature of T = 45 °C. The gas then undergoes monomolecular decay where every molecule decays A2 → 2A. What is the final pressure after this reaction? State your answer in atm without units.
Consider the chemical reaction described by 2A(aq) ⇌ D(aq)with rate constants k1 and k-1. If the reaction is subject to a temperature jump, derive the equation for d[D]/dt in terms of a relaxation constant t.
In a study of the gas phase decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide at 335 K N2O5(g)2 NO,(g) + ½ O2(g) the concentration of N2O5 was followed as a function of time. It was found that a graph of In[N,O3] versus time in seconds gave a straight line with a slope of -7.38×10-3 s and a y-intercept of -3.13. Based on this plot, the reaction is | order in N2O5 and the half life for the reaction i | seconds.
The following are Biophysical Chemistry Questions: When we are determining the equilibrium affinity (K) for a binding reaction or the rate constant (k) for a reaction, why do we make multiple measurements? Why is it useful to put one (or more) reagents in great excess of the other (for equilibrium analysis or kinetic analysis?) Why do you start learning about heat and work in thermodynamics witht the ideal gases instead of chemical reactions?
