Stoichiometry and Reaction Rate The rate of consumption of reactants or the rate of formation of products is directly related to the coefficients in a balance chemical equation. In the equation A+ 3B2C, reactant B is consumed 3 times faster than reactant A is consumed, while product C is produced 2 times faster than reactant A is consumed. The graph on the right represents the change in the concentration of reactant(s) and product(s) W,X, and Y for a certain reaction. Task 3: Based on the three graphs shown by the figure on the right, how many reactants are involved in the reaction, and how many products are formed? Identify the Letters that represent the reactants and those that represent the products. What are the coefficients for each of the three compounds? Write a balance chemical equation based on your understanding of the graph. Hint: Consider their rates of consumption and production. Number of molecules 80 60 60 40 20 20 0 W X ---Y I 20 20 40 60 80 100 Time (s)

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?
. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.
If a textbook defined a catalyst as "a substance that increases the rate of a reaction," would that definition be adequate?
use the kineticmolecular theory to explain why an increase in temperature increases reaction rate.
Candle wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons. In the reaction of oxygen with candle w ax in Figure 11.2, the rate of consumption of oxygen decreased with time after the flask was covered, and eventually' the flame went out. From the perspective of the kinetic-molecular theory, describe what is happening in the flask. FIGURE 11.2 When a candle burns in a closed container, the flame will diminish and eventually go out. As the amount of oxygen present decreases, the rate of combustion will also decrease. Eventually, the rate of combustion is no longer sufficient to sustain the flame even though there is still some oxygen present in the vessel.
A friend of yours states, A balanced equation tells us how chemicals interact. Therefore, we can determine the rate law directly from the balanced equations. What do you tell your friend?
The reaction NO(g) + O,(g) — NO,(g) + 0(g) plays a role in the formation of nitrogen dioxide in automobile engines. Suppose that a series of experiments measured the rate of this reaction at 500 K and produced the following data; [NO] (mol L ’) [OJ (mol L 1) Rate = -A[NO]/Af (mol L_1 s-1) 0.002 0.005 8.0 X 10"'7 0.002 0.010 1.6 X 10-'6 0.006 0.005 2.4 X IO-'6 Derive a rate law for the reaction and determine the value of the rate constant.
Consider the following statements: In general, the rate of a chemical reaction increases a bit at first because it takes a while for the reaction to get warmed up. After that, however, the rate of the reaction decreases because its rate is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and these are decreasing. Indicate everything that is correct in these statements, and indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect statements and explain.
