- 25. Study the following reaction energy diagram:arrow_forwardThe reaction of the alkene, ethylene, with H2 produces ethane as a product. However, the reaction is incredibly slow in the absence of a catalyst, such as platinum metal. What is the role of the catalyst in speeding up the reaction? Raising the activation energy by breaking the bonds of hydrogen molecules. By bringing together the hydrogen atoms and alkene on the same metal surface, thereby lowering the activation energy. By decreasing the number of reactive inermediates. By increasing the equilibrium constant for the reaction.arrow_forwardThe rate equation for the reaction of CH3CH2Br with −OH is: rate = k[CH3CH2Br][−OH]. What effect does the indicated concentration change have on the overall rate of the reaction? a. tripling the concentration of CH3CH2Br only b. tripling the concentration of −OH only c. tripling the concentration of both CH3CH2Br and −OHarrow_forward
- Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. The rate of a fast step has more effect on the overall reaction rate than the rate of a slow step. Catalysts decrease reaction rates. Reaction rates increase as concentrations of homogeneous catalysts increase. The fastest step in a reaction is called the rate-determining step. Solid catalysts do not affect reaction rates. As a reaction progresses its rate goes up.arrow_forwardQ2. Carbonic Anhydrase or carbonic dehydratase is a family of metalloenzymes containing zinc (Zn) ion in its active site. Carbonic anhydrase can greatly increase the rate of this reaction, reaching a reaction rate of 104 - 106 per second. It is defined as the enzyme found in red blood cells, other parts of animals and plants, that breaks down carbonic acid with carbon dioxide and water.

MacBook Air esc 44 F2 F3 F4 FS %$4 4.arrow_forwardWhat happened to the rate of this reaction if the concentration of ethanol is doubled?arrow_forward
- Why does the rate of the reaction slow down with time? The rate constant slows with time because the reaction is exothermic and loses energy The reactants that react first are moving faster than the reactants that react last, which results in a slower reaction as time progresses The reaction rate depends upon the concentrations of the reactants. As the reaction progresses, the reactants are converted into products and their concentrations decrease The reaction does not slow down with time. The rate constant gets smaller with time so that it appears that the reaction is slowing The longer the reaction takes, the older the reactants become. Old reactants react more slowly than new ones so the reaction slows downarrow_forwardIn a transesterification reaction, a triglyceride reacts with an alcohol to form an ester and glycerol. Many students learn about the reaction between methanol (CH3OH) and ethyl acetate (CH3CH2OCOCH3) as a sample reaction before studying the chemical reactions that produce biodiesel: CH3 OH + CH3 CH2 OCOCH3 ⟶ CH3 OCOCH3 + CH3 CH2 OHThe rate law for the reaction between methanol and ethyl acetate is, under certain conditions, determined to be: rate = k[CH3 OH]What is the order of reaction with respect to methanol and ethyl acetate, and what is the overall order of reaction?arrow_forwardRefer to the following reaction and rate law equation. A + 2B →C r = k [A] [B]² What will happen to the overall rate of reaction if the concentration of A is doubled and the concentration of B is halved? The rate of reaction will be half the initial rate. The rate of reaction will be quadruple (4x) the initial rate. The rate of reaction will remain the constant. The rate of reaction will be double (2x) the initial rate.. The rate of reaction will be a quarter of the initial rate.arrow_forward
