Gaseous azomethane C2H6N2 decomposes in a first order reaction when heated.  C2H6N2 (g) -> N2 (g) + C2H6 (g) The rate constant for this reaction at 425C is 40.8 min-1. If the initial amount in the flask is 2.00g, how many mole remain after 0.0500 min?

The decomposition of sulfuryl chlorideSO2Cl2fur dioxide and chlorine gases is a first-order reaction. It is found that at a certain temperature, it takes 1.43 hours to decompose 0.0714 M to 0.0681 M. (a) What is the rate constant for the decomposition? (b) What is the rate of decompostion [ SO2Cl2 ]=0.0462M? (c) How long will it take to decompose SO2Cl2 so that 45% remains?

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 initial concentration of the reactant in a tirst-order reaction A —» products is 0.64 rnol/L and the half-life is 30.0 s. Calculate the concentration of the reactant exactly 60 s after initiation of the reaction. How long would it take for the concentration of the reactant to drop to one-eighth its initial value? How long would it take for the concentration of the reactant to drop to 0.040 mol/L?
