Q1) Give difference between the following with example; A) Heterogeneous and Homogenous Catalyst B) Complex and Double Salt
Regarding the activated complex, it can be stated that: (I) Its existence is fleeting, as long as the reaction takes place, but it disappears when it ends. (II) It is easily observable in any reaction. (III) It has the same properties as a reaction intermediate. (IV) It is simply the point of maximum energy in the corresponding reaction energy profile.
Determine the activation energy from the following data. Temperature (oC) K (s-1) 189.7 2.52x10-5 251.2 3.16x10-3 Group of answer choices 7.74 kJ/mole 158 kJ/mole 0.574 kJ/mole 19.0 kJ/mole 0.653 kJ/mole
The following is a quote from an article in the August 18,1998, issue of The New York Times about the breakdown ofcellulose and starch: “A drop of 18 degrees Fahrenheit [from77 °F to 59 °F4 lowers the reaction rate six times; a 36-degreedrop [from 77 °F to 41°F] produces a fortyfold decrease inthe rate.” (a) Calculate activation energies for the breakdownprocess based on the two estimates of the effect of temperatureon rate. Are the values consistent? (b) Assuming thevalue of Ea calculated from the 36° drop and that the rate ofbreakdown is first order with a half-life at 25 °C of 2.7 yr, calculatethe half-life for breakdown at a temperature of -15 °C.
The first step in the heterogeneoushydrogenation of ethylene is adsorption of theethylene molecule on a metal surface. One proposed explanation for the “sticking” of ethylene to a metalsurface is the interaction of the electrons in the C—C π bond with vacant orbitals on the metal surface. (a) If thisnotion is correct, would ethane be expected to adsorb to a metal surface, and, if so, how strongly would ethane bindcompared to ethylene? (b) Based on its Lewis structure,would you expect ammonia to adsorb to a metal surfaceusing a similar explanation as for ethylene?
Consider the reversible between the boat and chair conformation of cylcohexane Boat to Chair , ka Chair back to Boat, kb The reaction is first order in each direction with an equilibrium constant of 1.0x104 at 25oC. The activation energy for the conversion of the chair conformer to the boat conformer is 42 kJ/mol. The associated Arrhenius preexponential factor for the latter conversion is 1.0x1012 s-1. Determine values for k¬a and kb.
By using collision theory calculate the activation energy of a reaction having two reactants A and B and the product is C. The value of the universal rate constant is 8.314J/mol*K.When the reaction is happening at different temperatures 350K and 700K , the ratio of rate constant is 5. (Gpt/ai wrong answer not allowed)
(a) show a plot of Energy (vertical axis) versus Reaction Pathway for the reaction R to P which is an endothermic process (+50 kJ/mole) with an energy of activation (Eact) of 250 kJ/mole. (b) mark the location of the activated complex. (c) for the reverse reaction determine the energy of activation
Use the to simulate a system. On the “Single collision” tab of the simulation applet, enable the “Energy view” by clicking the “+” icon. Select the first A + BC ⟶ AB + C reaction (A is yellow, B is purple, and C is navy blue). Using the “straight shot” default option, try launching the A atom with varying amounts of energy. What changes when the Total Energy line at launch is below the transition state of the Potential Energy line? Why? What happens when it is above the transition state? Why?
Consider a protein-ligand binding reaction in which the equilibrium concentration of protein-ligand complex is measured to be 19.723 nM and the equilibrium concentration of unbound ligand is measured to be 15.788 nM. The initial protein concentration, prior to the addition of the ligand, was 29.662 nM. Given these measurements, calculate the value of Kd for the ligand binding interaction
Oligomeric proteins are common and commonly occur when binding a ligand. Consider a reaction where 2 molecules of A combine with B to form an A2B complex. No detectable AB complexes exist. Using your knowledge of equilibrium binding, show that the fraction of B bound (ie fraction of A2B from the total B) fits the following expression: fraction B bound = [?] 2 ?? + [?] 2
