Pyrolysis involves heating compounds to break them into smaller molecules, and typically involves free-radical chain reactions. Pyrolysis of crude oil fractions is a common method of making smaller hydrocarbons from large-chain hydrocarbons. Pyrolysis of ethane, C2H6, forms ethylene and hydrogen gases C2H4 and H2 as the primary products. Suggest a mechanism for this pyrolysis reaction, labeling your reactions as initiation, propagation, and termination steps.
The acid-catalyzed iodination of acetone CH3COCH3(aq) + I2(aq) CH3COCH2I(aq) + HI(aq) is a common laboratory experiment used in general chemistry courses to teach the method of initial rates. The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by the disappearance of the color of iodine in the solution. The following data (J. P. Birk and D. L Walters, Journal of Chemical Education, Vol. 69, p. 585, 1992) were collected at 23 C for this reaction. Determine the rate law for this reaction.
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
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?

In a first-order reaction, suppose that a quantity X of a reactant is added at regular intervals of time, t. At first the amount of reactant in the system builds up; eventually, however, it levels off at a saturation value given by the expression a saturation value saturationvalue= x110a where a=0.30tt1/2 This analysis applies to prescription drugs, of which you take a certain amount each day. Suppose that you take 0.100 g of a drug three times a day and that the half-life for elimination is 2.0 days. Using this equation, calculate the mass of the drug in the body at saturation. Suppose further that side effects show up when 0.500 g of the drug accumulates in the body. As a pharmacist, what is the maximum dosage you could assign to a patient for an 8-h period without causing side effects?
