Which statement could NOT be a possible explanation for the increase in effective collisions caused by a catalyst? A. The catalyst provides a surface to improve the chance of correct orientation. B. The catalyst lowers the activation energy increasing the number of reactants with KE higher than E. a C. The catalyst increases reactant speed so more particles have enough KE to overcome E. a

For a certain reaction, Ea is 135 kJ and H=45 kJ. In the presence of a catalyst, the activation energy is 39% of that for the uncatalyzed reaction. Draw a diagram similar to Figure 11.14 but instead of showing two activated complexes (two humps) show only one activated complex (i.e., only one hump) for the reaction. What is the activation energy of the uncatalyzed reverse reaction?
Show how equation 20.33 reduces to a simpler form of an integrated first-order rate law when the reverse reaction of an equilibrium is negligible.
For the gas-phase reaction 2H2+O22H2O rxnG is 457.18kJ. What does a graph of G versus lnQ lnQ varying from 50 to +50 look like at 25C? Change the temperature and find out if the graph looks substantially different at different temperatures.
Consider the following hypothetical reaction: A+BC Calculate the average rate of the reaction on the basis of the following information: a. Pure A and B are mixed, and after 12.0minutes the measured concentration of C is 0.396mol/L. b. Pure A,B, and C are mixed together at equal concentrations of 0.300M. After 8.00minutes, the concentration of C is found to be 0.455M.
