Can a reaction mechanism ever be proven correct? Can it be proven incorrect?
In Chapter 3, we discussed the conversion of biomass into biofuels. One important area of research associated with biofuels is the identification and development of suitable catalysts to increase the rate at which fuels can be produced. Do a web search to find an article describing biofuel catalysts. Then, write one or two sentences describing the reactions being catalyzed, and identify the catalyst as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
Two mechanisms are proposed for the reaction 2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g)Mechanism 1: NO+O2NO3(fast) NO3+NO2NO2(slow) Mechanism 2: NO+ON2O2(fast) N2O2+O22NO2(slow) Show that each of these mechanisms is consistent with the observed rate law: rate=k[ NO2 ]2[ O2 ].
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.
. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.
(Section 11-5) A rule of thumb is that for a typical reaction, if concentrations are unchanged, a 10-K rise in temperature increases the reaction rate by two to four times. Use an average increase of three times to answer the questions below. (a) What is the approximate activation energy of a typical chemical reaction at 298 K? (b) If a catalyst increases a chemical reactions rate by providing a mechanism that has a lower activation energy, then what change do you expect a 10-K increase in temperature to make in the rate of a reaction whose uncatalyzed activation energy of 75 kJ/mol has been lowered to one half this value (at 298 K) by addition of a catalyst?
Explain what is meant by the average rate of a reaction.

Bacteria cause milk to go sour by generating lactic acid. Devise an experiment that could measure the activation energy for the production of lactic acid by bacteria in milk. Describe how your experiment will provide the information you need to determine this value. What assumptions must be made about this reaction?
Azomethane decomposes into nitrogen and ethane at high temperatures according to the following equation: (CH3)2N2(g)N2(g)+C2H6(g)The rate of the reaction is followed by monitoring the disappearance of the purple color due to iodine.
