Concept Introduction:
According to the integrated rate law for the first order reaction, the concentration of reactant is the exponential function of time. The two equations that represent the integrated rate law for the first order kinetics is shown below.
The plot of natural logarithm of concentration of reactant against time is the straight line and the slope of the graph is

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- During polymerization, the system usually becomes more ordered as monomers link together. Could an endothermic polymerization reaction ever occur spontaneously? Explain.arrow_forwardThe rate law for the oxidation reaction 2CO(g) + O2(g) → 2CO2(g) assuming that the reaction occurs by the Langmuir -Hinshelwood mechanism. The over-all rate law for this mechanism is Rate = k3θCOθO2 ΘO2 = (KO2 [O2])1/2 and ΘCO = KCO [CO] --------------------------------- --------------------------------- 1+ (KO2[O2])1/2 + KCO[CO] 1+ (KO2[O2])1/2 + KCO[CO]arrow_forwardA rate constant is found to fit the expression kr = Ae−(4972 K)/T with A = 4.98 × 1013 dm3 mol−1 s−1 near 25 °C. Calculate Δ‡G for the reaction at 25 °C; assume κ = 1.arrow_forward
- Manfred Eigen, a German physical chemist working dur- ing the 1970s and 1980s, earned a Nobel Prize for devel- oping the "temperature-jump" method for studying kinetics of very rapid reactions in solution, such as proton transfer. Eigen and his co-workers found that the specific rate of proton transfer from a water molecule to an ammonia molecule in a dilute aqueous solution is k = 2 x 10° s-'. The equilibrium constant Kµ, for the reaction of ammonia with water is 1.8 x 10-8, What, if anything, can be deduced from this information about the rate of transfer of a proton from NH; to a hydroxide ion? Write equations for any reactions you mention, making it clear to which reaction(s) any quoted constant(s) apply.arrow_forwardCalculate the half-life at 100 molecules, 50 molecules and 25 molecules for a 1st order reaction and for a 2nd order reaction. Use k = 0.100 with appropriate units for both the 1st order and the 2nd order.arrow_forwardWrite the difference between order and molecularity of reaction.arrow_forward
- The frequency factor for the second-order gas-phase decomposition of ozone at low pressures is 4.6 × 1012 dm3 mol−1 s−1 and its activation energy is 10.0 kJ mol−1. What are (i) the entropy of activation, (ii) the enthalpy of activation, (iii) the Gibbs energy of activation at 298 K? Assume κ = 1.arrow_forwardwrite a rate law for the following reaction if reaction order n=1 2 N2O5 (g) -> 4 NO2 (g) + O2 (g)arrow_forwardA reaction performed at 1.00 °C exhibits a rate constant of 1.115 s–1. What temperature (in °C to the nearest whole number) does the reaction need to be carried out at for the reaction to have a rate constant of 1.447 s–1? The reaction has an activation energy of 3.355 kJ mol–1.arrow_forward
- A rate constant is found to fit the expression k = Ae-(4972 K)/T with A = 4.98 x 1013 dm3mol-1 s-1 near 25 °C. Calculate ΔGǂ for the reaction at 25 °C; assume κ = 1.arrow_forwardThe equilibrium constant for the binding of a drug molecule to a protein was measured as 200. In a separate experiment, the rate constant for the binding process, which is second order overall, was found to be 1.5 × 108 dm3 mol–1 s–1. What is the rate constant for the first-order dissociation of the drug molecule from the protein–drug complex?arrow_forwardThe gas-phase reaction between F2 and IF5 is first order in each of the reactants. The energy of activation for the reaction is 58.6 kJ mol−1. At 65 °C the rate constant is 7.84 × 10−3 kPa−1 s−1. Calculate the entropy of activation at 65 °C.arrow_forward
