Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7.62P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
The slowest step in the given mechanism has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
When the rate constants for each of the steps in the mechanism are given, we can identify the slowest or the rate determining step. Lower the value of rate constant, slower will be the reaction.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
The step with the lowest activation energy has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
For a reaction to take place, the reactants must cross the minimum energy barrier called the activation energy. So, for a reaction with lower activation energy, the reactants can easily convert to products as the energy barrier is less. So, lower activation energy, greater will be the rate constant or the reaction rate.

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.

However, the rate of decomposition increases dramatically if a small amount of powdered MnO- is added to the solution. The decomposition products are H2O and O2. MnO2 is not consumed in the reaction. Write the equation for the decomposition of H2O2. What role does MnO2 play? In the chemistry lab, a student substituted a chunk of MnO2 for the powdered compound.
