Instantaneous rates for the reaction of hydroxide ion with Cv+ can be determined from the slope of the curve in Figure 11.3 at various concentrations. They are (1) At 4.0 105 mol/L, rate = 12.3 107 mol L1 s1 (2) At 3.0 105 mol/L, rate = 9.25 107 mol L1 s1 (3) At 2.0 105 mol/L, rate = 6.16 107 mol L1 s1 (4) At 1.5 105 mol/L, rate = 4.60 107 mol L1 s1 (5) At 1.0 105 mol/L, rate = 3.09 107 mol L1 s1 (a) What is the relationship between the rates in (1) and (3)? Between (2) and (4)? Between (3) and (5)? (b) What is the relationship between the concentrations in each of these cases? (c) Is the rate of the reaction proportional to the concentration of Cv+? Explain your answer.
Consider a reaction of the type aA products, in which the rate law is found to he rate = k[A]3 (termolecular reactions are improbable but possible). If the first half-tife of the reaction is found to he 40. s, what is the time for the second half-life? Hint: Using your calculus knowledge, derive the integrated rate law from the differential rate law for a tennolecular reaction: Rate=d[A]dt=k[A]3
The color change accompanying the reaction of phenolphthalein with strong base is illustrated below. The change in concentration of the dye can be followed by spectrophotometry (Section 4.9), and some data collected by that approach are given below. The initial concentrations were [phenolphthalein] = 0.0050 mol/L and [OH] = 0.61 mol/L. (Data are taken from review materials for kinetics at chemed.chem.purdue.edu.) (For more details on this reaction see L Nicholson, Journal of Chemical Education, Vol. 66, p. 725, 1989.) (a) Plot the data above as [phenolphthalein] versus time, and determine the average rate from t = 0 to t = 15 seconds and from t = 100 seconds to t = 125 seconds. Does the rate change? If so, why? (b) Use a graphical method to determine the order of the reaction with respect to phenolphthalein. Write the rate law, and determine the rate constant. (c) What is the half-life for the reaction?
The uncoiling of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a first-order reaction. Its activation energy is 420 kJ. At 37C, the rate constant is 4.90104min1 (a) What is the half-life of the uncoiling at 37C (normal body temperature)? (b) What is the half-life of the uncoiling if the organism has a temperature of 40C(104F)? (c) By what factor does the rate of uncoiling increase (per C) over this temperature interval?

Label the elementary processes for the reaction between H2 and O2 see section 20.7 as initiation, propagation, branching, or termination reactions.
Describe how graphical methods can be used to determine the order of a reaction and its rate constant from a series of data that includes the concentration of A at varying times.
The reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase. When malonate ions or oxalate ions are added to the reaction mixture, the rate decreases significantly. Try to account for this observation in terms of the description of enzyme catalysis given in the text. The structures of malonate and oxalate ions are
For a certain reaction, Ea is 135 kJ and H=45 kJ. In the presence of a catalyst, the activation energy is 39% of that for the uncatalyzed reaction. Draw a diagram similar to Figure 11.14 but instead of showing two activated complexes (two humps) show only one activated complex (i.e., only one hump) for the reaction. What is the activation energy of the uncatalyzed reverse reaction?
