(2) The reaction-rate data given below were obtained using a batch reaction system for the reaction A→products. Plot the data in appropriate form to test the fit for zero- and first-order kinetics. From the plot that gives the best fit, determine the appropriate reaction rate constant (remember the units).

Some bacteria are resistant to the antibiotic penicillin because they produce penicillinase, an enzyme with a molecular weight of 3104 g/mol that converts penicillin into inactive molecules. Although the kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions can be complex, at low concentrations this reaction can be described by a rate equation that is first order in the catalyst (penicillinase) and that also involves the concentration of penicillin. From the following data: 1.0 L of a solution containing 0.15 g ( 0.15106 g) of penicillinase, determine the order of the reaction with respect to penicillin and the value of the rate constant. [Penicillin] (M) Rate (mol/L/min) 2.0106 1.01010 3.0106 1.51010 4.0106 2.01010
Which reaction mechanism assumptions are unimportant in describing simple ionic reactions between cations and anions? Why?
The acid-catalyzed iodination of acetone CH3COCH3(aq) + I2(aq) CH3COCH2I(aq) + HI(aq) is a common laboratory experiment used in general chemistry courses to teach the method of initial rates. The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by the disappearance of the color of iodine in the solution. The following data (J. P. Birk and D. L Walters, Journal of Chemical Education, Vol. 69, p. 585, 1992) were collected at 23 C for this reaction. Determine the rate law for this reaction.
Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. 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. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
Explain how a species might be part of a rate law but not part of a balanced chemical reaction.
