- The direct reaction of iron(III) oxide. Fe2O3, to give iron and oxygen gas is a nonspontaneous reaction; normally, iron combines with oxygen to give rust (the oxide). Yet we do change iron(III) oxide, as iron ore, into iron metal. How is this possible? Explain.arrow_forwardCobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate, CoCl26H2O, is a bright pink compound, but in the presence of very dry air it loses water vapor to the air to produce the light blue anhydrous salt CoCl2. Calculate the standard free-energy change for the reaction at 25C: CoCl26H2O(s)CoCl2(s)+6H2O(g) Here are some thermodynamic data at 25C: What is the partial pressure of water vapor in equilibrium with the anhydrous salt and the hexahydrate at 25C? (Give the value in mmHg.) What is the relative humidity of air that has this partial pressure of water? The relative humidity of a sample of air is Relativehumidity=partialpressureofH2O(g)inairvaporpressureofwater100 What do you expect to happen to the equilibrium partial pressure over the hexahydrate as the temperature is raised? Explain.arrow_forwardConsider these three reactions as the elementary steps in the mechanism for a chemical reaction.(i) Cl2 (g) + Pt (s) à 2Cl (g) + Pt (s) Ea = 1550 kJ ∆H = – 950 kJ(ii) Cl (g)+ CO (g) + Pt (s) à ClCO (g) + Pt (s) Ea = 2240 kJ ∆H = 575 kJ(iii) Cl (g) + ClCO (g) à Cl2CO (g) Ea = 2350 kJ ∆H = – 825 kJ e. Which reaction intermediate would be considered a catalyst (if any) and why?f. If you were to add 2700kJ of activation energy to the reaction, would you be able to make thereaction reverse itself (i.e. have the products become reactants)? Justify your answer.g. If you were to added a positive catalyst to step (iii) what would the end result be? Justify yourprediction. h. Your friend is looking at your graph and states that she believes that step (ii) is the ratedetermining step. Do you agree with her? Justify your reasoning.arrow_forward
- For the reaction BrO3– + 5Br–+ 6H+ → 3Br2 + 3H2O at a particular time, –Δ[BrO3–]/Δt = 1.5 × 10–2 M/s.

- Enter your answer in the provided box. The rate constant for the following elementary reaction is 6.1 x 10° M's at 25°C: -1 2A(g) +B(g) → 2C(g) AG° (kJ/mol) A 84.752 BO C 54.064 What is the rate constant for the reverse reaction at the same temperature?arrow_forward7. A general "rule of thumb" is that increasing the temperature by 10 degrees generally doubles the rate of reaction. If a reaction takes 40 seconds to occur at 45°C, specifically how long should the reaction take at the following temperatures? Explain. (a) 35⁰ (b) 55° (c) 65°arrow_forwardThe following graph shows two different reaction pathwaysfor the same overall reaction at the same temperature.Is each of the following statements true or false?(a) The rate is faster for the red path than for the bluepath. (b) For both paths, the rate of the reverse reactionis slower than the rate of the forward reaction. (c) The energy change ΔE is the same for both paths. [arrow_forward
