What is the advantage of knowing the factors that affect reaction rates?

In the figure, orange fish are placed in one aquarium and green fish in an adjoining aquarium. The two tanks are separated by a removable partition that is initially closed. (a) Describe what happens in the first few minutes after the partition is opened. (b) What would you expect to see several hours later? (c) How is this system analogous to dynamic chemical equilibrium?

In Section 13.1 of your text, it is mentioned that equilibrium is reached in a closed system. What is meant by the term closed system. and why is it necessary to have a closed system in order for a system to reach equilibrium? Explain why equilibrium is not reached in an open system.

Apply collision theory to explain why increasing the concentration of a reactant usually increases the reaction rate.

Consider the following reactions: H2(g)+I2(g)2HI(g)andH2(g)+I2(s)2HI(g) List two property differences between these two reactions that relate to equilibrium.

Define the terms product-favored System and reactant-favored System. Give one example of each.

In Section 17.3 of your text, it is mentioned that equilibrium is reached in a closed system. What is meant by the term “closed system,” and why is it necessary for a system to reach equilibrium? Explain why equilibrium is not reached in an open system.

When writing a chemical equation for a reaction that comes to equilibrium. how do we indicate symbolically that the reaction is reversible?

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?

For the endothermic reaction AB(g)A(g)+B(g), the following represents a reaction container at two different temperatures. Which one (I or II) is at the lower temperature?
