Some bacteria are resistant to the antibiotic penicillin because they produce penicillinase, an enzyme with a molecular weight of 3104 g/mol that converts penicillin into inactive molecules. Although the kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions can be complex, at low concentrations this reaction can be described by a rate equation that is first order in the catalyst (penicillinase) and that also involves the concentration of penicillin. From the following data: 1.0 L of a solution containing 0.15 g ( 0.15106 g) of penicillinase, determine the order of the reaction with respect to penicillin and the value of the rate constant. [Penicillin] (M) Rate (mol/L/min) 2.0106 1.01010 3.0106 1.51010 4.0106 2.01010

Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
A drug decomposes in the blood by a first-order process. A pill containing 0.500 g of the active ingredient reaches its maximum concentration of 2.5 mg/ 100 mL of blood. If the half-life of the active ingredient is 75 min, what is its concentration in the blood 2.0 h after the maximum concentration has been reached?
Phosphine, PH3(g)PH3(g), decomposes according to the equation 4PH3(g)⟶P4(g)+6H2(g)4PH3(g)⟶P4(g)+6H2(g) The kinetics of the decomposition of phosphine at 950950 K was followed by measuring the total pressure in the system as a function of time. The data in the table were obtained in a run where the reaction chamber contained only pure phosphine at the start of the reaction.

a At 500 K, in the presence of a copper surface, ethanol decomposes according to the equation C,H5OH(g) – CH3CHO(g) + H2(g) The pressure of C2H5OH was measured as a function of time, and the following data was obtained: Time (s) | P(C2H,ОН) (torr) 250. 100. 237 200. 224 300. 211 400. 198 500. 185 Since the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the concentration of the gas, we can express the rate law for a gaseous reaction in terms of partial pressures. Using the preceding data, choose the correct rate law. Hint: To determine the order of the reaction with respect to C,H5OH, compare how the pressure of C,H5OH decreases with each time listing. Rate = k Rate = k[CH3CHO][H,j² Rate = k[C2H5OH][CH;CHO][H2] O Rate = k[C2H5OH]

In a study of the gas phase decomposition of sulfuryl chloride at 600 K SO₂Cl₂(g) →SO₂(g) + Cl₂(g) the concentration of SO₂Cl₂ was followed as a function of time. It was found that a graph of In[SO₂Cl₂] versus time in minutes gave a straight line with a slope of -4.14x10-³ min-¹ and a y-intercept of -6.41. Based on this plot, the reaction is min-¹. -1 order in SO₂Cl2 and the rate constant for the reaction is
