7 of 3 Y Reaction 1 Reaction 2 -- . Reaction Coordinate In an experiment done at a low temperature, one hour after the reaction started, Y was produced but almost no Z was produced. At a much higher temperature, one hour after the reaction started, both Y and Z had been produced. Which of the following best explains why very little Z was produced at the lower temperature? A A smaller number of X molecules had enough energy to overcome the activation energy barrier for reaction 2, and very little Z was produced в The higher average kinetic energy of the X molecules at the lower temperature resulted in very little Z produced. The greater collision frequency between X molecules at the lower temperature resulted in very little Z produced. The intermolecular forces between X molecules were much weaker, and very little Z was produced.

Consider the following energy levels, each capable of holding two particles: Draw all the possible arrangements of the two identical particles (represented by X) in the three energy levels.

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.
7.86 Nitrogen triiodide, NI3(s) , is unstable and will spontaneously detonate to form a bright purple cloud of nitrogen and iodine gases accompanied with a loud ‘bang,” which suggests a release of energy. Considering the bonds involved, explain why this reaction is energy.
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.

Silicon forms a series of compounds analogous to the al-kanes and having the general formula SinH2n+2. The first of these compounds is silane, SiH4, which is used in the electronics industry to produce thin ultrapure silicon films. SiH4(g) is somewhat difficult to work with because it is py-ropboric at room temperature—meaning that it bursts into flame spontaneously when exposed to air. (a) Write an equation for the combustion of SiH4(g). (The reaction is analogous to hydrocarbon combustion, and SiO2 is a solid under standard conditions. Assume the water produced will be a gas.) (b) Use the data from Appendix E to calculate ? for this reaction. (c) Calculate G and show that the reaction is spontaneous at 25°C. (d) Compare G for this reaction to the combustion of methane. (See the previous problem.) Are the reactions in these two exercises enthalpy or entropy driven? Explain.

Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
