Monochloroethane (C2H5Cl) can be produced by the direct reaction of ethane gas (C2H6) with chlorine gas or by the reaction of ethylene gas (C2H4) with hydrogen chloride gas. The second reaction gives almost a 100% yield of pure C2H5Cl at a rapid rate without catalysis. The first method requires light as an energy source or the reaction would not occur. Yet G for the first reaction is considerably more negative than G for the second reaction. Explain how this can be so.
In Chapter 3, we discussed the conversion of biomass into biofuels. One important area of research associated with biofuels is the identification and development of suitable catalysts to increase the rate at which fuels can be produced. Do a web search to find an article describing biofuel catalysts. Then, write one or two sentences describing the reactions being catalyzed, and identify the catalyst as homogeneous or heterogeneous.

deltaG tells us if a reaction can occur, but not if a reaction will actually occur. What measurement tells us if a reaction will actually occur? Is it activation energy or something else?

A. For a certain reaction, Kc = 4.48×106 and kf= 4.10×10−2 M−2⋅s-1 . Calculate the value of the reverse rate constant, kr, given that the reverse reaction is of the same molecularity as the forward reaction. Express your answer with the appropriate units. Include explicit multiplication within units, for example to enter M−2⋅s−1nclude ⋅⋅ (multiplication dot) between each measurement. B. For a different reaction, Kc = 97.7, kf=3.00×10^3s−1 and kf=3.00×10^3s−1 , and kr= 30.7 s−1. Adding a catalyst increases the forward rate constant to 1.37×106 s−1s−1 . What is the new value of the reverse reaction constant, kr, after adding catalyst? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Include explicit multiplication within units, for example to enter M−2⋅s−1 include ⋅ (multiplication dot) between each measurement.
