. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.
Explain what is meant by the average rate of a reaction.
If a textbook defined a catalyst as "a substance that increases the rate of a reaction," would that definition be adequate?
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?
Candle wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons. In the reaction of oxygen with candle w ax in Figure 11.2, the rate of consumption of oxygen decreased with time after the flask was covered, and eventually' the flame went out. From the perspective of the kinetic-molecular theory, describe what is happening in the flask. FIGURE 11.2 When a candle burns in a closed container, the flame will diminish and eventually go out. As the amount of oxygen present decreases, the rate of combustion will also decrease. Eventually, the rate of combustion is no longer sufficient to sustain the flame even though there is still some oxygen present in the vessel.
Give at least two physical properties that might be used to determine the rate of a reaction.
For the reaction of crystal violet with NaOH(aq), the measured rate of reaction is 1.27 106 mol L1 s1 when the concentration of crystal violet cation is 4.13 105 mol/L. (a) Estimate how long it will take for the concentration of crystal violet to drop from 4.30 105 mol/L to 3.96 105 mol/L. (b) Could you use the same method to make an accurate estimate of how long it would take for the concentration of crystal violet to drop from 4.30 105 mol/L to 0.43 105 mol/L? Explain why or why not.

Ozone, O3, in the Earths upper atmosphere decomposes according to the equation 2 O3(g) 3 O2(g) The mechanism of the reaction is thought to proceed through an initial fast, reversible step followed by a slow, second step. Step 1: Fast, reversible O3(g) O2(g) + O(g) Step 2: Slow O3(g) + O(g) 2 O2(g) (a) Which of the steps is rate-determining? (b) Write the rate equation for the rate-determining step
Iodomethane (CH3I) is a commonly used reagent in organic chemistry. When used properly, this reagent allows chemists to introduce methyl groups in many different useful applications. The chemical does pose a risk as a carcinogen, possibly owing to iodomethanes ability to react with portions of the DNA strand (if they were to come in contact). Consider the following hypothetical initial rates data: [DNA]0 ( mol/L) [CH3I]0 ( mol/L) Initial Rate (mol/Ls) 0.100 0.100 3.20 104 0.100 0.200 6.40 104 0.200 0.200 1.28 103 Which of the following could be a possible mechanism to explain the initial rate data?

The label on a bottle of 3% (by volume) hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, purchased at a grocery store, states that the solution should be stored in a cool, dark place. H2O2decomposes slowly over time, and the rate of decomposition increases with an increase in temperature and in the presence of light. However, the rate of decomposition increases dramatically if a small amount of powdered MnO- is added to the solution. The decomposition products are H2O and O2. MnO2 is not consumed in the reaction. Write the equation for the decomposition of H2O2. What role does MnO2 play? In the chemistry lab, a student substituted a chunk of MnO2 for the powdered compound. The reaction rate was not appreciably increased. WTiat is one possible explanation for this observation? Is MnO2 part of the stoichiometry of the decomposition of H2O2?
The following statements relate to the reaction for the formation of HI: H2(g) + I2(g) -* 2 HI(g) Rate = it[HJ [I2J Determine which of the following statements are true. If a statement is false, indicate why it is incorrect. The reaction must occur in a single step. This is a second-order reaction overall. Raising the temperature will cause the value of k to decrease. Raising the temperature lowers the activation energy' for this reaction. If the concentrations of both reactants are doubled, the rate will double. Adding a catalyst in the reaction will cause the initial rate to increase.
