Cosmetics have often antimicrobial agents, such as methyl paraben, to prevent growth of mold and bacteria. Suppose the antimicrobial agent in a tube of sunscreen degrades with first-order kinetics, with a rate constant of 2.31 x 10-4 hr¬ at 25°C. A) Calculate the half-life of the antimicrobial agent at 25°C. Be sure to include the units. B) The activation energy for the degradation reaction is 9.2 kJ mol-1. Sup- pose you store your sunscreen in the locker room at the gym, which has an average temperature of 35°C. What is the half-life of the an- timicrobial agent in the conditions at the gym?
It may not surprise you to know that products can show up in the rate law. When the product(s) is(are) a positive order, we describe the rate law as autocatalytic. For example, under conditions of high nitric acid concentrations, this reaction: HNO, + H₂C(OH): → HNO; + HCOOH + H₂O has a rate law: rate = k [H.C(OH).] [HNO₂] Given a rate constant of 0.0255 dm3 mol-1 s-1 and initial concentrations [HNO,] = 5.0 mol dm-3, [H.C(OH).]. = 150 mmol dm-3, [HNO:]. = 8.2 mmol dm-3, how long will it take for the methanediol concentration to fall to 52 mmol dm-3?
1) The rate constant for the gas-phase reaction H2(g) + I2(g) → 2 HI(g) has the value 4.45 x 10-5 mol-1 dm³ s-1. What is the equivalent rate constant in units of molecule-1 cm³ s- 1? 2) The kinetics of the hydrolysis of methyl methanoate, CH3COOCH3, in aqueous solution were investigated by measuring the concentration of the ester after different time intervals. The reaction was found to be first order in the concentration of the ester. Use the data below to determine the rate constant for the reaction (must provide best fit graph). 3600 time, t/s 1800 5400 7200 9000 concentration, c/ (mol dm-3) 0.300 0.191 0.135 0.081 0.055 0.035
Propose a reaction pathway consisting of only a unimolecular or bimolecular steps for the 2A+B-->C+D that is consistent with the rate law rate=k(A)(B). Make sure you label which step is the rate determining step and prove that your proposed mechanism gives both the overall reaction and overall rate law. Explain the assumptions you must make in order for your mechanism to be consistent with the actual rate law.
A value of k is found from the rate equation Rate = k[A]m[B]n. If m=1 and n=4 and -1 the unit for the initial rate is M/h. The unit of k is found to be MX h-¹ (M to the power of x h to the power of minus 1). What is the value of x?
