Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 27E
The addition of No accelerates the decomposition of N2O, possibly by the following mechanism:
NO (g) + N2O (g) →N2 (g) + NO2 (g)
2NO2 (g) → 2NO (g) +O2 (g)
- What is the chemical equation for the overall reaction? Show how the two steps can be added to give the overall equation. (b) Is NO serving as a catalyst or an intermediate in this reaction? (c) If experiments shows that during the decomposition of N2O, NO2 does not accumulate in measurable quantities, does this rule out the proposed mechanism?

- By which of the following mechanisms does a catalyst operate? a. It decreases the activation energy barrier for a reaction. b. It serves as a reactant and is consumed. c. It increases the temperature of a reaction. d. It increases the concentration of reactants.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_forwardAccount for the relationship between the rate of a reaction and its activation energy.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_forwardExplain what is meant by the average rate of a reaction.arrow_forwardIf a textbook defined a catalyst as "a substance that increases the rate of a reaction," would that definition be adequate?arrow_forward

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? (See Exercise 75.)arrow_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_forwardWrite a rate law for NO3(g) + O2(g) NO2(g) + O3(g) if measurements show the reaction is first order in nitrogen trioxide and second order in oxygen.arrow_forwardThe Raschig reaction produces the industrially important reducing agent hydrazine, N2H4, from ammonia, NH3, and hypochlorite ion, OCl−, in basic aqueous solution.
