Kinetics I Consider the hypothetical reaction A(g) + 2B(g) h C(g). The four containers below represent this reaction being run with different initial amounts of A and B. Assume that the volume of each container is 1.0 L. The reaction is second order with respect to A and first order with respect to B. a Based on the information presented in the problem, write the rate law for the reaction. b Which of the containers, W, X, Y, or Z, would have the greatest reaction rate? Justify your answer. c Which of the containers would have the lowest reaction rate? Explain. d If the volume of the container X were increased to 2.0 L, how would the rate of the reaction in this larger container compare to the rate of reaction run in the 1.0-L container X?

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?
