- The reaction 2 NO(g) + 2 H2(g) N2(g) + 2 H2O(g) was studied at 904 C, and the data in the table were collected. (a) Determine the order of the reaction for each reactant. (b) Write the rate equation for the reaction. (c) Calculate the rate constant for the reaction. (d) Find the rate of appearance of N2 at the instant when [NO] = 0.350 mol/L and [H] = 0.205 mol/L.arrow_forwardAt 573 K, gaseous NO2(g) decomposes, forming NO(g) and O2(g). If a vessel containing NO2(g) has an initial concentration of 1.9 102 mol/L, how long will it take for 75% of the NO2(g) to decompose? The decomposition of NO2(g) is second-order in the reactant and the rate constant for this reaction, at 573 K, is 1.1 L/mol s.arrow_forwardConsider the decomposition reaction 2X2Y+ZThe following graph shows the change in concentration with respect to time for the reaction. What does each of the curves labeled 1, 2, and 3 represent?arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardOzone, O3, in the Earths upper atmosphere decomposes according to the equation 2 O3(g) 3 O2(g) The mechanism of the reaction is thought to proceed through an initial fast, reversible step followed by a slow, second step. Step 1: Fast, reversible O3(g) O2(g) + O(g) Step 2: Slow O3(g) + O(g) 2 O2(g) (a) Which of the steps is rate-determining?

In basic solution it gives ClO3 and ClO2 ions. 2ClO2(aq)+2OH(aq)ClO3(aq)+ClO2(aq)+H2O To obtain the rate law for this reaction, the following experiments were run and, for each, the initial rate of reaction of ClO2 was determined. Obtain the rate law and the value of the rate constant.arrow_forward
- Table 11-2 illustrates how the average rate of a reaction decreases with time. Why does the average rate decrease with time? How does the instantaneous rate of a reaction depend on time? Why are initial rates used by convention?arrow_forwardNitrogen monoxide reacts with chlorine to form nitrosyl chloride. NO(g)+12Cl2(g)NOCl(g) The figure shows the increase in nitrosyl chloride concentration under appropriate experimental conditions. The concentration of nitrosyl chloride actually starts at zero, although this fact may be difficult to see in the figure. (a) Write an expression for the rate of reaction in terms of a changing concentration. (b) Calculate the average rate of reaction between 40 and 120 seconds. (c) Calculate the instantaneous rate of reaction after 80 seconds. (d) Calculate the instantaneous rate of consumption of chlorine 60 seconds after the start of the reaction.arrow_forwardFor the reaction 4NO2(g)+O2(g)2N2O5(g) (a) express the rate of formation of N2O5 in terms of the rate of disappearance of O2. (b) suppose the rate of disappearance of O2 is 0.0037 mol L1 s1. Calculate the rate of disappearance of NO2.arrow_forward
- Based on the kinetic theory of matter, what would the action of a catalyst do to a reaction that is the reverse of some reaction that we say is catalyzed?arrow_forwardThe rate of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, depends on the concentration of iodide ion present. The rate of decomposition was measured at constant temperature and pressure for various concentrations of H2O2and of KI. The data appear below. Determine the order of reaction for each substance, write the rate law, and evaluate the rate constant. Rate [H2OJ [Kll (mL min-’) (mol L ’) (mol L ’) 0.090 0.15 0.033 0.178 0.30 0.033 0.184 0.15 0.066arrow_forwardAt 500 K in the presence of a copper surface, ethanol decomposes according to the equation C2H5OH(g)CH3CHO(g)+H2(g) The pressure of C2H5OH was measured as a function of time and the following data were obtained: Time(s) PC2H5OH(torr) 0 250. 100. 237 200. 224 300. 211 400. 198 500. 185 Since the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the concentration of gas, we can express the rate law for a gaseous reaction in terms of partial pressures. Using the above data, deduce the rate law, the integrated rate law, and the value of the rate constant, all in terms of pressure units in atm and time in seconds. Predict the pressure of C2H5OH after 900. s from the start of the reaction. (Hint: To determine the order of the reaction with respect to C2H5OH, compare how the pressure of C2H5OH decreases with each time listing.)arrow_forward
