Two gaseous compounds, A and B are introduced into an evacuated reaction chamber. The resulting reaction is exothermic and the balanced chemical equation is shown below. A(g) + B(g) ---> C(g) As A and B are initially introduced into the reaction chamber, which statement about the rates of the reaction is true? (A) The rates of the forward and reverse reaction are the same. (B) The rate of the forward reaction is faster than the rate of the reverse reaction. (C) The rate of the forward reaction is slower than the rate of the reverse reaction. (D) The rate cannot be determined without knowing the rate laws.

4. A) The enzyme urease catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide. The uncatalyzed reaction has an activation energy of 125 kJ/mol. The enzyme catalyzes a mechanism that has an activation energy of 46 kJ/mol. By what factor does urease increase the rate of urea hydrolysis at 21 celsius? B) True or False: A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction by changing the mechanism of the reaction such that there is a different rate law for the reaction when a catalyst is present. C) True or False: A catalyst increases the equilibrium constant of a reaction and therefore makes the products more favored. D) True or False: In order for a catalyst to function it must exist in the same phase as the substrate.

1. Consider the following graph of the concentration of a substance X over time. Is each of the following statements true or false? (a) X is a product of the reaction. (b) The rate of the reaction remains the same as time progresses. (c) The average rate between points 1 and 2 is greater than the average rate between points 1 and 3. (d) As time progresses, the curve will eventually turn downward toward the x-axis. [x] 10 2 Time
