6. The rate constant for the reaction, 2 N₂O5 (g) → 4 NO2 (g) + O2 (g), doubles when the
temperature is raised from 295.65 K to 300.62 K.
(a) Determine the activation energy (in kJ/mol) for the reaction, assuming that the pre-
exponential factor, A, in the Arrhenius equation is independent of temperature.
(b) At what temperature would you predict this rate constant to increase by another factor
of 10 relative to its value at 300.62 K?

- Which reaction mechanism assumptions are unimportant in describing simple ionic reactions between cations and anions? Why?arrow_forwardThe 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?arrow_forwardGive at least two physical properties that might be used to determine the rate of a reaction.arrow_forward
- A reaction is started by mixing reactants. As time passes, the rate decreases. Explain this behavior that is characteristic of most reactions.arrow_forwardAccount for the relationship between the rate of a reaction and its activation energy.arrow_forwardExplain what is meant by the average rate of a reaction.arrow_forward
- . What does the activation energy for a reaction represent? How is the activation energy related to whether a collision between molecules is successful?arrow_forwardConsider 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_forwardSubstances 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_forward
- Iodomethane (CH3I) is a commonly used reagent in organic chemistry. When used properly, this reagent allows chemists to introduce methyl groups in many different useful applications. The chemical does pose a risk as a carcinogen, possibly owing to iodomethanes ability to react with portions of the DNA strand (if they were to come in contact). Consider the following hypothetical initial rates data: [DNA]0 ( mol/L) [CH3I]0 ( mol/L) Initial Rate (mol/Ls) 0.100 0.100 3.20 104 0.100 0.200 6.40 104 0.200 0.200 1.28 103 Which of the following could be a possible mechanism to explain the initial rate data? MechanismIDNA+CH3IDNACH3++IMechanismIICH3ICH3++ISlowDNA+CH3+DNACH3+Fastarrow_forward(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?arrow_forwardTable 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_forward
