A1. Under standard state conditions, predict which has the larger standard entropy and give a reason why: 1 mole each of NO and NO2 ? ANS: Both NO and NO2 are gases under standard conditions. Each molecule of NO2 has three atoms, and each molecule of NO has two atoms. Thus, NO2 should have the …show more content…

Here is a flow diagram of the process:

The key feature is that heat is transferred from the skin at 37.5 °C to the water at 23.5 °C. Vapourization requires that heat be absorbed by the water:

B2. For the reaction 2I−(aq) + S2O82−(aq) I2(aq) + 2SO42−(aq), the following data were collected:

[I−], mol L-1 | [S2O82−], mol L-1 | Initial rate, mol L-1 min-1 | 0.125 | 0.150 | 0.0045 | 0.375 | 0.150 | 0.0135 | 0.125 | 0.050 | 0.0015 | (a) Determine the rate law and the overall order for this reaction. [3]
Comparing the first and second experiments, we see that if [I-] is tripled, the rate triples. Therefore the reaction is first order in [I-].
Comparing the first and third experiments, we see that if [S2O8-2] is tripled, the rate also triples. Therefore the reaction is also first order in [I-].
The rate law is therefore rate = k[I-][S2O8-2], overall order is second order. (b) Calculate the rate constant (with the correct units) for this reaction. [2]
Using the first experiment (we could use any of the three), we have:

(c) The decomposition reaction of NOBr is second order in [NOBr], with a rate constant of 25 L mol-1 min-1. If the initial concentration of NOBr is 0.025 mol L-1, find the concentration of NOBr after 125 min of reaction. [5]

B3. Hydrogen gas can be produced from methane according to the reaction
CH4(g) + H2O(g) → CO(g) + 3 H2(g). This reaction has Kp =
