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.)
. What does the activation energy for a reaction represent? How is the activation energy related to whether a collision between molecules is successful?
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?
If a textbook defined a catalyst as "a substance that increases the rate of a reaction," would that definition be adequate?
. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.
Consider the following statements: In general, the rate of a chemical reaction increases a bit at first because it takes a while for the reaction to get warmed up. After that, however, the rate of the reaction decreases because its rate is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and these are decreasing. Indicate everything that is correct in these statements, and indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect statements and explain.
Based on the diagram in Exercise 12.83, which of the reactions has the fastest rate? Which has the slowest rate?
In Chapter 3, we discussed the conversion of biomass into biofuels. One important area of research associated with biofuels is the identification and development of suitable catalysts to increase the rate at which fuels can be produced. Do a web search to find an article describing biofuel catalysts. Then, write one or two sentences describing the reactions being catalyzed, and identify the catalyst as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
For the decomposition of one mole of nitrosyl chloride, H = 38 kJ. NOCl(g)NO(g)+12Cl2(g) The activation energy for this reaction is 100 kJ. a Is this reaction exothermic or endothermic? b What is the activation energy for the reverse reaction? c If a catalyst were added to the reaction, how would this affect the activation energy?
The following equation represents a reversible decomposition: CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) Under what conditions will decomposition in a closed container proceed to completion so that no CaCO3 remains?
Explain what is meant by the average rate of a reaction.
Consider the reaction of ozone and nitrogen monoxide to form nitrogen dioxide and oxygen. O3(g) + NO(g) NO2(g) + O2(g) Which of the following orientations for the collision between ozone and nitrogen monoxide could perhaps lead to an effective collision between the molecules? (a) (b) (c) (d)
