- For a first order gas phase reaction A products, k = 7.2 104s1 at 660. K and k = 1.7 102s1 at 720. K. If the initial pressure of A is 536 torr at 295C, how long will it take for the pressure of A to decrease to 268 torr?arrow_forwardWhich reaction mechanism assumptions are unimportant in describing simple ionic reactions between cations and anions? Why?arrow_forwardThe following equation represents a reversible decomposition: CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) Under what conditions will decomposition in a closed container proceed to completion so that no CaCO3 remains?arrow_forward
- . What does the activation energy for a reaction represent? How is the activation energy related to whether a collision between molecules is successful?arrow_forwardConsider the reaction of ozone and nitrogen monoxide to form nitrogen dioxide and oxygen. O3(g) + NO(g) NO2(g) + O2(g) Which of the following orientations for the collision between ozone and nitrogen monoxide could perhaps lead to an effective collision between the molecules? (a) (b) (c) (d)arrow_forwardSubstances 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?arrow_forward
- One of the concerns about the use of Freons is that they will migrate to the upper atmosphere, where chlorine atoms can be generated by the following reaction: CCl2F2(g)Freon-12hvCF2Cl(g)+Cl(g) Chlorine atoms can act as a catalyst for the destruction of ozone. The activation energy for the reaction Cl(g) + O3(g) ClO(g) + O2(g) Is 2.1 kJ/mol. Which is the more effective catalyst for the destruction of ozone, Cl or NO? (See Exercise 75.)arrow_forwardThe reaction NO(g) + O,(g) — NO,(g) + 0(g) plays a role in the formation of nitrogen dioxide in automobile engines. Suppose that a series of experiments measured the rate of this reaction at 500 K and produced the following data; [NO] (mol L ’) [OJ (mol L 1) Rate = -A[NO]/Af (mol L_1 s-1) 0.002 0.005 8.0 X 10"'7 0.002 0.010 1.6 X 10-'6 0.006 0.005 2.4 X IO-'6 Derive a rate law for the reaction and determine the value of the rate constant.arrow_forwardDiethylhydrazine reacts with iodine according to the following equation: Â (C2H5)2(NH)2(l)+I2(aq)(C2H5)2N2+2HI(aq)The rate of the reaction is followed by monitoring the disappearance of the purple color due to iodine. The following data are obtained at a certain temperature. (a) What is the order of the reaction with respect to diethylhydrazine, iodine, and overall? (b) Write the rate expression of the reaction. (c) Calculate k for the reaction. (d) What must [(C2H5)2] be so that the rate of the reaction is 5.00104mol/Lh when [ I2 ]=0.500M?arrow_forward
