The hydrolysis of the sugar sucrose to the sugars glucose and fructose, C12H22O11+H2OC6H12O6+C6H12O6 follows a first-order rate equation for the disappearance of sucrose: Rate =k[C12H22O11] (The products of the reaction, glucose and fructose, have the same molecular formulas but differ in the arrangement of the atoms in their molecules.) (a) In neutral solution, k=2.11011s1 at 27 C and 8.51011s1 at 37 C. Determine the activation energy, the frequency factor, and the rate constant for this equation at 47 C (assuming the kinetics remain consistent with the Arrhenius equation at this temperature). (b) When a solution of sucrose with an initial concentration of 0.150 M reaches equilibrium, the concentration of sucrose is 1.65107M . How long will it take the solution to reach equilibrium at 27 C in the absence of a catalyst? Because the concentration of sucrose at equilibrium is so low, assume that the reaction is irreversible. (c) Why does assuming that the reaction is irreversible simplify the calculation in pan (b)?
Why does a catalyst increase the rate of a reaction? What is the difference between a homogeneous catalyst and a heterogeneous catalyst? Would a given reaction necessarily have the same rate law for both a catalyzed and an uncatalyzed pathway? Explain.
For the reaction 5Br(aq)+BrO3(aq)+6 H+(aq)3Br2(aq)+3H2O It was found that at a particular instant, bromine was being formed at the rate of 0.029 mol/L s. At that instant, at what rate (a) are the hydrogen ions being consumed? (b) is water being formed? (c) are the bromide ions being consumed?
For the past 10 years, the unsaturated hydrocarbon 1, 3-butadiene (CH2 = CH - CH = CH2) has ranked 38th among the top 50 industrial Chemicals. It is used primarily for the manufacture of synthetic rubber. An isomer exists also as cyclobutene: The isomerization of cyclobutene to butadiene is first-order and the rate constant has been measured as 2.0104s1 at 150 C in a 0.53-L ?ask. Determine the partial pressure of cyclobutene and its concentration after 30.0 minutes if an isomerization reaction is carried out at 150 C with an initial pressure of 55 torr.
The decomposition of sulfuryl chlorideSO2Cl2fur dioxide and chlorine gases is a first-order reaction. It is found that at a certain temperature, it takes 1.43 hours to decompose 0.0714 M to 0.0681 M. (a) What is the rate constant for the decomposition? (b) What is the rate of decompostion [ SO2Cl2 ]=0.0462M? (c) How long will it take to decompose SO2Cl2 so that 45% remains?
Consider the following reaction in aqueous solution: 5Br(aq)+BrO3(aq)+6H+(aq)3Br2(aq)+3H2O(l) If the rate of disappearance of Br(aq) at a particular moment during the reaction is 3.5104Ms1, what is the rate of appearance of 3Br2(aq) at that moment?
Three first-order reactions have the following activation energies: (a) Which reaction is the fastest? (b) Which reaction has the largest half-life? (c) Which reaction has the largest rate?
The reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase. When malonate ions or oxalate ions are added to the reaction mixture, the rate decreases significantly. Try to account for this observation in terms of the description of enzyme catalysis given in the text. The structures of malonate and oxalate ions are
As with any drug, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) must remain in the bloodstream long enough to be effective. Assume that the removal of aspirin from the bloodstream into the urine is a lirst-order reaction, with a half-life of about 3 hours. The instructions on an aspirin bottle say to take 1 or 2 tablets every 4 hours. If a person takes 2 aspirin tablets, how much aspirin remains in the bloodstream when it is time for the second dose? (A standard tablet contains 325 mg of aspirin.)
One possible mechanism for the decomposition of nitryl chloride, NO2CI, is What is the overall reaction? What rate law would be derived from this mechanism? What effect does increasing the concentration of the product NO2 have on the reaction rate?
