A student says, “The initial concentration of a reactant was doubled, and the rate doubled. Therefore the reaction is second order in that reactant.” Why might the student say that? What is wrong with the statement? What is the actual order with respect to the reactant? Explain your reasoning clearly.

Find the rate constant (k)
Using knowledge about Biophysical Chemistry (Thermodynamics and Kinetics ).How can you determine whether a reaction mechanism you predict is consistent with the experimental data? What factors would cause you to throw out your proposed mechanism and try again?
2. Imagine you run a reaction whose free energy of activation (AG*) is 18 kcal/mol. If it were a first order reaction, its’ half life (the time for half the starting material to go away) or half the product to form (assuming a 100% yield) would by In2/k where k is the rate constant. How long will it take for the reaction to be done if you run the reaction in an ice-salt bath at room temperature (20 °C) if the rate constant were 1 x 104/sec?
Suppose the decomposition of ozone proceeds by the following mechanism: step elementary reaction rate constant 1 03(g) O₂(g) + 0(g) k₁ 2 03(g) + O(g) → 20₂(g) k₂ Suppose also k₁ »k₂. That is, the first step is much faster than the second. Write the balanced chemical equation for the overall chemical reaction: Write the experimentally- observable rate law for the overall chemical reaction. rate = k Note: your answer should not contain the concentrations of any intermediates.
