- 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.)arrow_forwardThe decomposition of ozone is a second-order reaction with a rate constant of 30.6 atm1 s1 at 95 C. 2O3(g)3O2(g) If ozone is originally present at a partial pressure of 21 torr, calculate the length of time needed for the ozone pressure to decrease to 1.0 torr.arrow_forwardMany biochemical reactions are catalyzed by acids. A typical mechanism consistent with the experimental results (in which HA is the acid and X is the reactant) is Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Derive the rate law from this mechanism. Determine the order of reaction with respect to HA. Determine how doubling the concentration of HA would affect the rate of the reaction.arrow_forward
- Derive an expression for the half-life of a a third order reaction;b a reaction whose order is =1; c a reaction whose order is 12. In these last two cases, examples are rare but known.arrow_forwardThe initial rate for a reaction is equal to the slope of the tangent line at t 0 in a plot of [A] versus time. From calculus, initial rate = d[A]dt . Therefore. the differential rate law for a reaction is Rate = d[A]dt=k[A]n. Assuming you have some calculus in your background, derive the zero-, first-, and second-order integrated rate laws using the differential rate law.arrow_forwardThe type of rate law for a reaction, either the differential rate law or the integrated rate law, is usually determined by which data is easiest to collect. Explain.arrow_forward
- Nitrogen dioxide reacts with carbon monoxide by the overall equation NO2(g)+CO(g)NO(g)+CO2(g) At a particular temperature, the reaction is second order in NO2 and zero order in CO. The rate constant is 0.515 L/(mol s). How much heat energy evolves per second initially from 3.50 L of reaction mixture containing 0.0275 M NO2? See Appendix C for data. Assume the enthalpy change is constant with temperature.arrow_forwardThe 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)?arrow_forwardConsider a hypothetical reaction between A and B: A + B products Use the following initial rate data to calculate the rate constant for this reaction. [A] (mol/L) [B] (mol/L) Initial Rate (mol/L s) 0.20 1.0 3.0 0.50 1.0 11.8 2.0 2.0 189.5arrow_forward
- Radioactive gold-198 is used in the diagnosis of liver problems. 198Au decays in a first-order process, emitting a particle (electron). The half-life of this isotope is 2.7 days. You begin with a 5.6-mg sample of the isotope. Calculate how much gold-198 remains after 1.0 day.arrow_forwardBased on the kinetic theory of matter, what would the action of a catalyst do to a reaction that is the reverse of some reaction that we say is catalyzed?arrow_forwardIf you know some calculus, derive the integrated first-order rate law for the reaction by following these steps: Define the reaction rate in terms of [A]. Write the rate law in terms of [A], k, and t. Separate variables in the rate law. Integrate the rate law. Write the integrated equation in the form .
