An oxygen (0,) molecule is adsorbed on a patch of surface (see sketch at right). This patch is known to contain 784 adsorption sites. The (O,) molecule has enough energy to move from site to site, so it could be on any one of them. Suppose additional surface becomes exposed, so that 1089 adsorption sites are now available for the molecule. Calculate the change in entropy. One way an 0, molecule could be adsorbed on a patch of surface with 16 sites. Round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.

THE ACTIVATION ENERGY OF THE REACTION BETWEEN PERSULFATE AND IODIDE IONS, During the reaction of the persulfate ion with the iodide ion, iodine is produced. The molar relationship between the persulfate ion and iodine is 1:1. Iodine turns the colour of starch indicator from colourless to blue. If we add starch indicator to the reagent solutions, we see a blue colour as soon as the reaction starts, and products are formed. If we want to measure a rate constant, we want to remove some of the iodine until, for example, one quarter of the persulfate has reacted. This we can achieve by adding a predetermined amount of thiosulfate to the reagent solutions, because thiosulfate reacts with iodine as follows to form iodide and tetrathionate: 2 S₂03² + 1₂ = 21 +S406 ² A certain amount, which we can calculate to be 1/4 of the initial persulfate concentration of the iodine is thus removed, and at the same time iodide is produced, so that the iodide ion concentration remains constant.…
Knowledge about the speed of chemical reactions is extremely important for industrial production, especially when optimizing a process. In this sense, strategies can be developed based on changes in the surface area, concentration of reactants, system temperature, and the use of catalysts. Considering this information, analyze the following statements: I. The frequency and orientation of collisions between the reacting species, as well as the amount of energy in the system, are determining factors for the formation of the activated complex. II. The use of catalysts provides an alternative pathway for the formation of the activated complex with lower activation energy, consequently increasing the reaction rate. III. Exothermic transformations are more advantageous because they release energy during product formation, thereby eliminating the need to supply energy to the reactants. Is it correct to assert that:
