What is pseudo first-order rate constant?
The reaction of propylxanthate anion, A−, in ethanoic acid buffer solutions has the mechanism A− + H+ → P. Near 30 °C the rate constant is given by the empirical expression kr = Ae−(8681 K)/T with A = 2.05 × 1013 dm3 mol−1 s−1. Evaluate the enthalpy and entropy of activation at 30 °C.
The degradation of the antibiotic clindamycin stored at 343 K in aqueous solution at pH 4 is found to be first order with a rate constant of 2.49 x 10−7 s −1. Over the temperature range 320 K to 360 K theactivation energy was found to be 123.3 kJ mol−1. (a) Calculate the rate constant at 325 K.(b) The threshold for product safety is 1% degradation. At 295 K the time taken for 1% of the antibiotic to degrade is found to be close to 0.01/ k. Comment on the shelf-life of the drug.
In a study of the rearrangement of cyclopropane to propene at 500 °C (CH2)3 CH3CH=CH2 the concentration of (CH2)3 was followed as a function of time. It was found that a graph of In[(CH2)3] versus time in seconds gave a straight line with a slope of -9.38×104 s1 and a y-intercept of -1.57 . Based on this plot, the reaction is O order in (CH2)3 and the half life for the first reaction is seconds.
The mechanism for the reaction described by the equation CH,NC(g) CH, CN(g) is suggested to be k1 (1) A(g) + M(g) = A" (g) + M(g) k-1 k2 * (2) А (g) → B(g) where A(g) is CH, NC(g), M(g) is any gas molecule, A* (g) is CH,NC*(g) (an energized gas molecule), and B(g) is CH,CN(g). Assuming that [A* ] is governed by steady-state conditions, derive the rate law for the production of CH, CN(g) in terms of [A], [M], and the appropriate k values.
(d) The first-order rate constants for the fluorescence and phosphorescence of molecule X are 4.5 × 10" s' and 0.50 s', respectively. Briefly explain the large order of magnitude difference in the rate constant values. (e) Explain how long (in s) it takes for 1.0% of fluorescence and phosphorescence to occur following termination of excitation.
The gas phase decomposition of hydrogen peroxide at 400 °C H2O2(g)H20(g) + ½ O2(g) is second order in H2O2. In one experiment, when the initial concentration of H,O2 was 0.242 M, the concentration of H,O, dropped to 4.09×10 M after 23.5 seconds had passed. Based on these data, the rate constant for the reaction is M1s1.
The rate constant for a gas-phase reaction was reported as 6.2 x 10- 14 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 298 K. What would its value be in cubic decimetres per mole per second?
The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of sucrose occurs by the fol-lowing overall reaction whose kinetic data are given below:C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁(s) H₂O(l) →C₆H₁₂O₆(aq) C₆H₁₂O₆(aq) (a) Determine the rate constant and the half-life of the reaction.(b) How long does it take to hydrolyze 75% of the sucrose?(c) Other studies have shown that this reaction is actually sec-ond order overall but appears to follow first-order kinetics.(Such a reaction is called a pseudo–first-order reaction.) Sug-gest a reason for this apparent first-order behavior.

We noted that at 25 °C the decomposition of N2O51g2 into NO21g2 and O21g2 follows first-order kinetics with k = 3.4 * 10-5 s-1. How long will it take for a sample originally containing 2.0 atm of N2O5 to reach a partial pressure of 380 torr?
