- (a) 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.Reaction rates increase with increasing temperature.The slowest step in a reaction is called the rate-determining step.Catalysts increase reaction rates.The fastest step in a reaction is called the rate-determining step.As a reaction progresses its rate goes down.Reaction rates can show little change as masses of solid reactants increase.arrow_forwardConsider the following reaction: (a) The rate law for this reaction is first order in HBr(g) and first order in O₂(g). What is the rate law for this reaction? Rate = k [HBr(g)] [O₂(g)] O Rate = k [HBr(g)]² [O₂(g)] O Rate = k [HBr(g)] [O₂(g)]² O Rate = k [HBr(g)]² [0₂(g)]² O Rate = k [HBr(g)] [O₂(g)]³ O Rate = k [HBr(g)]4 [0₂(g)] (b) If the rate constant for this reaction at a certain temperature is 11500, what is the reaction rate when [HBr(g)] = 0.00379 M and [O₂(g)] = 0.00876 M? Rate = 4 HBr(g) + O₂(g) → 2 H₂O(g) + 2 Br₂(g) M/s. Rate = (c) What is the reaction rate when the concentration of HBr(g) is doubled, to 0.00758 M while the concentration of O₂(g) is 0.00876 M?

The enzyme catalyzes a mechanism that has an activation energy of 46 kJ/mol. By what factor does urease increase the rate of urea hydrolysis at 21 celsius? B) True or False: A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction by changing the mechanism of the reaction such that there is a different rate law for the reaction when a catalyst is present. C) True or False: A catalyst increases the equilibrium constant of a reaction and therefore makes the products more favored. D) True or False: In order for a catalyst to function it must exist in the same phase as the substrate.arrow_forward
