For the gas-phase reaction 2H2+O22H2O rxnG is 457.18kJ. What does a graph of G versus lnQ lnQ varying from 50 to +50 look like at 25C? Change the temperature and find out if the graph looks substantially different at different temperatures.
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?
a What happens to a reaction rate as temperature drops? Give two explanations for the change. State which one is more important and explain why. b How does a catalyst affect reaction rates? c Compare reaction rates when a given reactant concentration is high with the rate when the concentration is low. Explain the difference.
