- The following statements relate to the reaction for the formation of HI: H2(g) + I2(g) 2 HI(g)Rate = k[H2][I2] Determine which of the following statements are true. If a statement is false, indicate why it is incorrect. (a) The reaction must occur in a single step. (b) This is a second-order reaction overall. (c) Raising the temperature will cause the value of k to decrease. (d) Raising the temperature lowers the activation energy for this reaction. (e) If the concentrations of both reactants are doubled, the rate will double. (f) Adding a catalyst in the reaction will cause the initial rate to increase.arrow_forwardConsider 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_forwardKinetics I Consider the hypothetical reaction A(g) + 2B(g) h C(g). The four containers below represent this reaction being run with different initial amounts of A and B. Assume that the volume of each container is 1.0 L. 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.

- 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_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_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?

- One of the concerns about the use of Freons is that they will migrate to the upper atmosphere, where chlorine atoms can be generated by the following reaction: CCl2F2(g)Freon-12hvCF2Cl(g)+Cl(g) Chlorine atoms can act as a catalyst for the destruction of ozone. The activation energy for the reaction Cl(g) + O3(g) ClO(g) + O2(g) Is 2.1 kJ/mol. Which is the more effective catalyst for the destruction of ozone, Cl or NO?

- Consider 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_forwardCandle wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons. In the reaction of oxygen with candle w ax in Figure 11.2, the rate of consumption of oxygen decreased with time after the flask was covered, and eventually' the flame went out. From the perspective of the kinetic-molecular theory, describe what is happening in the flask. FIGURE 11.2 When a candle burns in a closed container, the flame will diminish and eventually go out. As the amount of oxygen present decreases, the rate of combustion will also decrease. Eventually, the rate of combustion is no longer sufficient to sustain the flame even though there is still some oxygen present in the vessel.arrow_forwardYou are studying the kinetics of the reaction H2(g) + F2(g) 2HF(g) and you wish to determine a mechanism for the reaction. You run the reaction twice by keeping one reactant at a much higher pressure than the other reactant (this lower-pressure reactant begins at 1.000 atm). Unfortunately, you neglect to record which reactant was at the higher pressure, and you forget which it was later. Your data for the first experiment are: Pressure of HF (atm) Time(min) 0 0 0.300 30.0 0.600 65.8 0.900 110.4 1.200 169.1 1.500 255.9 When you ran the second experiment (in which the higher pressure reactant was run at a much higher pressure), you determine the values of the apparent rate constants to be the same. It also turns out that you find data taken from another person in the lab. This individual found that the reaction proceeds 40.0 times faster at 55C than at 35C. You also know, from the energy-level diagram, that there are three steps to the mechanism, and the first step has the highest activation energy. You look up the bond energies of the species involved and they are (in kJ/mol): H8H (432), F8F (154), and H8F (565). a. Sketch an energy-level diagram (qualitative) that is consistent with the one described previously. Hint: See Exercise 106. b. Develop a reasonable mechanism for the reaction. c. Which reactant was limiting in the experiments?arrow_forward
