- Consider a hypothetical reaction between A and B: A + B products Use the following initial rate data to calculate the rate constant for this reaction. [A] (mol/L) [B] (mol/L) Initial Rate (mol/L s) 0.20 1.0 3.0 0.50 1.0 11.8 2.0 2.0 189.5arrow_forwardThe following statements relate to the reaction for the formation of HI: H2(g) + I2(g) -* 2 HI(g) Rate = it[HJ [I2J Determine which of the following statements are true. If a statement is false, indicate why it is incorrect. The reaction must occur in a single step. This is a second-order reaction overall. Raising the temperature will cause the value of k to decrease. Raising the temperature lowers the activation energy' for this reaction. If the concentrations of both reactants are doubled, the rate will double. Adding a catalyst in the reaction will cause the initial rate to increase.arrow_forwardIn Exercise 11.39, if the initial concentration of N2Oj is 0.100 .\1. how long will it take for the concentration to drop to 0.0100 times its original value? The decomposition of N2O5 in solution in carbon tetrachloride is a first-order reaction: 2N2O5—»4NO2 + O2 The rate constant at a given temperature is found to be 5.25 X 10-4 s-’. If the initial concentration of N2O5 is 0.200 M, what is its concentration after exactly 10 minutes have passed?arrow_forward
- Gaseous NO2 decomposes at 573 K. NO2(g) NO(g) + O2(g) The concentration of NO2 was measured as a function of time. A graph of 1/[NO2] versus time gives a straight line with a slope of 1.1 L/mol s. What is the rate law for this reaction? What is the rate constant?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_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? (b) Write the rate equation for the rate-determining steparrow_forward

The rate constant is 0.515 L/(mol s). How much heat energy evolves per second initially from 3.50 L of reaction mixture containing 0.0275 M NO2? See Appendix C for data.

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? (Assume that the number of A and B atoms is the same in each case.) e If the temperature in container W were increased, what impact would this probably have on the rate of reaction? Why? f If you want to double the rate of reaction in container X, what are some things that you could do to the concentration(s) of A and B? g In which container would you observe the slowest rate of formation of C? h Assuming that A and B are not in great excess, which would have the greater impact on the rate of reaction in container W: removing a unit of B or removing a unit of A? Explain. i Describe how the rate of consumption of A compares to the rate of consumption of B.
