    2. What is the rate of disappearance of B?
    3. What is the rate of formation of D?

    a) reaction rate = -(1/3)d[A]/dt = -(1/2)d[B]/dt = d[C]/dt = d[D]/dt
    reaction rate = -(1/3)(-8.2 × 10-4 M s-1) = 2.73 x 10-4 M s-1.
    b) rate of disappearance of B = d[B]/dt
    -(1/2)d[B]/dt = 2.73 x 10-4 M s-1
    d[B]/dt = -2(2.73 x 10-4 M s-1)
    d[B]/dt = -5.46 x 10-4 M s-1

    11. The initial rate of the reaction 2A+B →3C+D can be determined by the following table. Using the given information to (1)find the order of reaction with respect to A and to B. (2) solve the overall reaction order. (3). Solve for the rate constant,k

    Expt 1  [A],M 0.150 [B],M 0.123 Initial rate,Ms-1  3.52x10-3
    Expt 2  [A],M 0.150 [B],M 0.246 Initial rate,Ms-1  1.408x10-2
    Expt 3  [A],M 0.300 [B],M 0.123 Initial rate,Ms-1  7.04x10-3 

     

    1)using the equation rate of reaction=k[A]x[B]y we can solve for x and y

    R1=k[A]x[B]y=k(0.150)x(0.123)y=3.52x10-3
    R2=k[A]x[B]y=k(0.150)x(0.246)y =1.408x10-2
    R2/R1 = k(0.150)x(0.246)y/k(0.150)x(.123)y = 1.408x10-2/3.52x10-3 =
    4=2y  => y=2    [B] second order
    R1=k[A]x[B]y=k(0.150)x(0.123)y=3.52x10-3
    R3=k[A]x[B]y=k(0.300)x(0.123)y=7.04x10-3
    R3/R1=[k(0.300)y(0.123)y]/[k(0.150)x(0.123)y] = 7.04x10-3/3.52x10-3 =
    2x=2 => x=1 [A] first order
    2) x+y=1+2= 3  third order overall reaction
    3) simply plug the values into rate of reaction=k[A]x[B]y and solve for k
    3.52x10-3=k(0.150)(0.123)2
    k= 3.52x10-3/(0.150)(0.123)2 =1.55 M-2s-1

    R1=k[A]x[B]y=k(.155)x(.265)y=2.27*10-5

    R2=k[A]x[B]y=k(.155)x(.053)y=4.55*10-5

    R2/R1=k(.155)x(.265)y/k(.155)x(.053)y=.053y*2y/.053y=2y=4.55*10^-5/2.27*10-5=1

    y=1

    R3=k[A]x[B]y=k(.310M)x(.0265)y=9.08*10^-5

    R2/R3=k(.155)x(.053)y/k(.0310M)x(.0265)y=2y/2x=2/2x

    2/4.55*10^-5/9.08*10^-5=4

    R1=k[CO]2[F2]=R1/[CO][F2]=2.27*10-5/(.0155M)2*.0265M)=3.57M-2/min-1

    17. For first order reactions t1/2 = ln2/k = .693/k

    if the half life is t1/2 = 180s, then the value of k for the reaction is k= t1/2/ln2 = .693/720s = 9.625x10-4s-1

    a) since ln[At] = -kt + ln[A]o, then ln([A]t/[A]t) = -kt, you can say [A]t/[A]o = e-kt

    this is convenient since the percent remaining is the “amount at time t” / “initial amount” which is equal to [A]t/[A]o

                therefore % remaining = e-kt = e^(-(9.625x10-4s-1)(720s)) = .50007 (100%) = 50%

    b) given [A] = .25M, and we know that rate of reaction = -Δ[A]/Δt = k[A]

    k[A] = 9.625x10-4s-1(.25M) = 2.406x10-4M/s

    19. The reaction A → products is first order in A.
    a) If 12.24g A is allowed to decompose for 24 minutes, the mass of A remaining undecomposed is found to be 2.04g. What is the half life, t1/2, of this reaction?
    b) Starting with 12.24g A, what is the mass of A remaining undecomposed after 1.00 hours?

    a) 12.24g/2.04 = 6  Thus A decomposes to a sixth of its original mass in 24 minutes.
    1/6 = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 For A to become a sixth of its original mass, three half lifes (t1/2) must have passed. Thus, A’s half-life must be equal to 24 minutes/3 = 8 minutes.
    b)

    Step 1: Find k.

    For a first order reaction: half life (t1/2) = ln2/k. In this reaction, 8 minutes = ln2/k.

    k = ln2/8minutes = 0.0866 minutes-1

    Step 2: Use the following equation to find the amount of A at time = 1hour: ln(At/Ao) = -kt

    ln(At/12.24g) = -(0.0866 minutes-1*60 minutes)
    At/12.24g = e-(0.0866 minutes-1*60 minutes)
    At = 12.24g * e-(0.0866 minutes-1*60 minutes)
    At = 0.06779g remaining after 1.00hr

    21. ln(At/Ao)=-kt  If 80 percent decomposed, that means 20 percent remains
    ln(0.2)=-k(215min)
    k=0.00749 minutes-1
    first order: t1/2=ln2/k
    t1/2=ln2/0.00749 minutes-1= 92.6 minutes

    23. A first order decomposition reaction A→B+ C has a half-life of 125 mins. How long does it take for a sample of A to be 60% decomposed?
    Step 1: Find k
    if 60% decomposes 40% remains
    ln(At/Ao)=-kt   ln(.4)=-k(125min)
    k=.00733 min-1
    Step 2: Solve for time using first order t1/2=ln2/k
    t1/2=ln2/.00733=94.56 mins

    a) 1 The amount that it decreases by per second (slope) is a constant value so its zero order.

    b) 2 The amount that it decreases by per second is a set percentage.

    c) 3 The slope (1/A1-1/A2)/(t1-t2) is the same value at all points.

    29. We need to solve for t1/2 = .693/k. So solving for k in the integrated rate law for first order reactions...

                ln([A]t/[A]o) = -kt

                k = ln([A]t/[A]o)/-t

    now we use any point of time and its corresponding concentration, like t = 100s and [A] = .4M

                k = ln(.4/1)/(-100) = 9.16x10-3s-1

    then use this in the half-life equation

                t1/2 = .693/k = .693/9.16x10-3s-1 = 75.66s

    rate = k[A]2[B] (given in problem)
    rate = (0.0205 M-1 min-1)(0.005M)2(3.02M)
    rate = 1.548 x 10-6 M s-1

    Find the order and half life of this reaction

     Ch24. 37 graph.PNG
    When we graphed it [A](M) vs Time(s) the graph was linear so we can determine that the reaction is a zero order reaction.
    The half life of this reaction can be found using t1/2=[A]0/2k
    k= the slope of the [A](M) vs Time(s) graph  [A]t=-kt+[A]0
    -k=([A]t-[A]0)/t  =(.085-.715)/(126-0)= -.005
    k=.005 Ms-1
    Using our k solve for t1/2 using t1/2=[A]0/2k
    t1/2=(.715)/(2(.005))=71.5 mins

    43.

    The half life of zero-order reactions increase with the initial concetration, because the concentration is decreasing with the constant slope -k, so a larger value will be reduced by a smaller percent. For instance 10-1=9/10*100=90% of the original, while 5-1=4/5*100%=80% of the original.

    The half life of second-order reactions decrease with the initial concentration, because when the concentration is higher, there is a higher probability that the molecules will interact. This causes the concentration to decrease faster. This relationship is shown by the equation t1/2=1/(k*A0).

    45. a) The collision frequency only determines the frequency of molecules to collide. If each collision of molecules resulted in a reaction, then the reaction’s rate would be extremely fast and would be determined solely by the collision frequency. But each collision does not result in a reaction, and therefore the reaction rate is only a fraction of the calculated collision frequency.

    b) A raise in temperature directly affects the gas molecules speed. This rise in speed makes a higher chance for molecules to collide and therefore raises the collision frequency of a reaction.

    The rise in temperature dramatically rises the reaction’s rate, however. This is because the reaction’s rate is already a very small fraction of the reactions collision frequency, and is directly affected by both the collision frequency and the fraction of molecules that become “activated”. Adding heat helps overcome the activation energy, so it not only raises the collision frequency but also the amount of activated molecules. This causes a much more dramatic rise to reaction rate with respect to collision frequency.

    c) A catalysts main purpose is to lower the activation energy in a reactions pathway. The lower the activation energy, the larger the fraction of energetic collisions and the faster the reaction. This speeds up reaction rate, regardless of how fast the molecules are sped up by an increase in temperature. They are independent of one another.

    51. Given for following data for the reaction A+B→C at different temperatures. Find the activation energy for the reaction. 450k, k=4.5x10-4 M-1s-1; 625k, k=1.9x10-2 M-1s-1.

    Using the modified Arrhenius Equation ln(k2/K1)=-Ea/R(1/T2-1/T1)
    ln(4.5x10-4M-1s-1/1.9x10-2M-1s-1)=-Ea/8.314J/Kmol(1/625k-1/450k)
    ln(2.4x10-2)=-Ea/8.314J/Kmol(-6.222x10-4k)
    -Ea=ln(2.4x10-2)8.314J/Kmol/(-6.222x10-4k)

    61. Enzymes are much more specific with what reaction they can be catalyts for, while metals like rhodium can be catalysts for a wide variety of reactions. Enzymes also normally only operate at a very specific tempearture range. With enzymes, the reactant attaches tot he enzyme, the reaction occurs, and the products are released. With catalysts like rhodium (heterogeneous catalysis), tje catalysis absorbs the reactants, diffues them across its occurs, and then is desorbed.

    To review enzymes, visit the page "Catalytic Efficiency of Enzymes".

    63. The reaction must have a substrate that reacts with the enzyme at an active site to form the enzyme-substrate complex. This must happen for the complex to decompose and form products and regenerate the enzyme, as well as the enzyme must be operating at the correct temperature.

    Fast: 2ICl → I2 + 2Cl
    Slow: ???

    -------------------------
    Fast: 2ICl → I2 + 2Cl
    Slow: H2 + 2Cl → 2HCl
    Overall: H2 + 2ICl → I2 + 2HCl

    The reaction rate is only as fast as its slowest step (aka, the rate limiting step). Thus, reaction rate = slow rate = k2[H2][Cl]2

    Since Cl is no in the overall equation, we need to find out how to put it in terms of [ICl] since [ICl] is in the overall equation. The fast rate is nearly in equilibrium since it produces I2 and 2Cl faster than the slow reaction can use up the Cl. Thus, the forward rate of the fast reaction equals its own reverse rate.

    Fast rate = k1[ICl2]2 = k-1[I2][Cl]2
    [Cl]2= (k1[ICl2]2)/ (k-1[I2])
    Now, substitute this value in for [Cl]2 in the slow rate equation.
    slow rate = k2[H2]*((k1[ICl2]2)/(k-1[I2]))

    Since all the k’s are constants, they can be combined into the overall reaction constant, k. Also according to the problem, the [I2] is assumed not to affect the reaction rate.Thus, the reaction rate can be described as:
    Reaction rate = k[H2][ICl2]2
    The reaction rate confirms the experimentally determined reaction order.

    78. We have observed that the units of k depend on the overall reaction order. Derive a general expression for the units of k using the units of the order of the reaction (o) units of concentration (M) and time (s)

    The units of k change on the overall reaction
    reaction rate=k[A]o
    The units of reaction rate= Ms-1
    units of [A]o=Mo
    So the units of k= reaction rate/[A]o= Ms-1/Mo
    which can be simplified to k=1/Mo-1s
    where o is the overall reaction order

    87. reaction rate=k2[N2O2][O2]

    disappearance of N2O2 = k-1[N2O2]+k2[N2O2][O2]

    formation of N2O2 = k1[NO]2

    We can assume that the formation of N2O2 is equal to its disappearance, so

    k1[NO]2 = k-1[N2O2]+k2[N2O2][O2]

    [N2O2]=k1[NO]2 /(k-1+k2[O2])

    substituting for the reaction rate we get,

    assuming molarities are one,

    rate=k1[NO]2 /(k-1+k2[O2])*k2*[O2] = 172

    Since k1 < k2, NO+ NO ← ---> N2O2 is the slower reaction so,

    rate=k[NO]2

    k= 172

    rate = 172[NO]2
