- Express the rate of the reaction 2N2O(g)2N2(g)+O2(g) in terms of (b) [ N2O ] (a) [ O2 ]arrow_forwardBacteria cause milk to go sour by generating lactic acid. Devise an experiment that could measure the activation energy for the production of lactic acid by bacteria in milk. Describe how your experiment will provide the information you need to determine this value. What assumptions must be made about this reaction?arrow_forwardThe isomerization of cyclopropane, C3H6, is believed to occur by the mechanism shown in the following equations: C3H6+C3H5k1C3H6+C3H6(Step1)C3H6k2C2=CHCH3(Step2) Here C3H6 is an excited cyclopropane molecule. At low pressure, Step 1 is much slower than Step 2. Derive the rate law for this mechanism at low pressure. Explain.arrow_forward
- At 573 K, gaseous NO2(g) decomposes, forming NO(g) and O2(g). If a vessel containing NO2(g) has an initial concentration of 1.9 102 mol/L, how long will it take for 75% of the NO2(g) to decompose? The decomposition of NO2(g) is second-order in the reactant and the rate constant for this reaction, at 573 K, is 1.1 L/mol s.arrow_forwardConsider the following statements: In general, the rate of a chemical reaction increases a bit at first because it takes a while for the reaction to get warmed up. After that, however, the rate of the reaction decreases because its rate is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and these are decreasing. Indicate everything that is correct in these statements, and indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect statements and explain.arrow_forwardGiven the following mechanism for a chemical reaction: H2O2+IH2O+IOH2O2+IOH2O+O2+I a Write the overall reaction. b Identify the catalyst and the reaction intermediate. c With the information given in this problem, can you write the rate law? Explain.arrow_forward
- How do the rate of a reaction and its rate constant differ?arrow_forward. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.arrow_forwardThe decomposition of many substances on the surface of a heterogeneous catalyst shows the following behavior: How do you account for the rate law changing from first order to zero order in the concentration of reactant?arrow_forward
