- How do chemists envision reactions taking place in terms of the collision model for reactions? Give an example of a simple reaction and how you might envision the reaction’s taking place by means of a collision between the molecules.arrow_forwardClassify each of the reactions according to one of the four reaction types summarized in Table 18.1. (a) Fe2O3(s) + 2 Al(s) 2 Fe(s) + Al2O3(s) rH = 851.5 kj/mol-rxn rS = 375.2 J/K mol-rxn (b) N2(g) + 2 O2(g) 2 NO2(g) rH = 66.2 kJ/mol-rxn rS = 121.6 J/K mol-rxn TABLE 18.1 Predicting Whether a Reaction Will Be Spontaneous Under Standard Conditionsarrow_forwardThe characteristics of four reactions, each of which involves only two reactants, are given. For each of the following pairs of the preceding reactions, compare the reaction rates when the two reactants are first mixed by indicating which reaction is faster. a. 1 and 2 b. 1 and 3 c. 1 and 4 d. 2 and 3arrow_forward
- Classify each of the reactions according to one of the four reaction types summarized in Table 18.1. (a) C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g) 6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O() rH = 673 kj/mol-rxn rS = 60.4 j/K mol-rxn (b) MgO(s) + C(graphite) Mg(s) + CO(g) rH = 490.7 kJ/mol-rxn rS = 197.9 J/K mol-rxn TABLE 18.1 Predicting Whether a Reaction Will Be Spontaneous Under Standard Conditionsarrow_forwardGo to the PhET Reactions and change to Angled shot to see the difference. (a) What happens when the angle of the collision is changed? (b) Explain how this is relevant to rate of reaction.arrow_forwardWhich reaction mechanism assumptions are unimportant in describing simple ionic reactions between cations and anions? Why?arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardDetermine rxnH 25 C for the following reaction: NO g O2 g NO2 g This reaction is a major participant in the formation of smog.arrow_forwardApply collision theory to explain why powdered zinc reacts to form hydrogen gas faster than large pieces of zinc when both are placed in hydrochloric acid solution.arrow_forward
- A student set up an experiment for six different trials of the reaction between 1.00-M aqueous acetic acid, CH3COOH, and solid sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3. CH3COOH(aq) + NaHCO3(s) NaCH3CO2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O() The volume of acetic acid was kept constant, but the mass of sodium bicarbonate increased with each trial. The results of the tests are shown in the figure. (a) In which trial(s) is the acetic acid the limiting reactant? (b) In which trial(s) is sodium bicarbonate the limiting reactant? (c) Explain your reasoning in parts (a) and (b).arrow_forwardClassify each of the following reactions as (1) a redox reaction (2) a nonredox reaction or (3) cant classify because of insufficient information. a. A combination reaction in which one reactant is an element b. A decomposition reaction in which the products are all elements c. A decomposition reaction in which one of the products is an element d. A displacement reaction in which both of the reactants are compoundsarrow_forward. Explain what it means that a reaction has reached a state of chemical equilibrium. Explain why equilibrium is a dynamic state: Does a reaction really “stop” when the system reaches a state of equilibrium? Explain why, once a chemical system has reached equilibrium, the concentrations of all reactants remain constant with time. Why does this constancy of concentration not contradict our picture of equilibrium as being dynamic? What happens to the rates of the forward and reverse reactions as a system proceeds to equilibrium from a starting point where only reactants are present?arrow_forward
