A common rule-of-thumb for many chemical reactions states that, at normal conditions, the reaction rate doubles for each increase of 10°C. Assuming a "normal" temperature of 20°C, estimate the activation energy of a "typical" chemical reaction. If we select 20°C as the reference temperature, what is a "typical" dimensionless activation energy?

The Haber process, also called the Haber–Bosch process, is an artificial nitrogen fixation process and is the main industrial procedure to produce ammonia today. In agriculture, ammonia is produced with the help of iron catalysts. The ammonia is most used in the field to make fertilizers which are essential for plant growth. What type of catalytic mechanism (heterogenous or homogenous) is involved in Haber’s or Bosch process in producing ammonia? Explain why? Why activation energy is important to start a chemical reaction? What is the relationship between catalyst and activation energy? How do you call the catalyst that slows down chemical reaction?
Ozone (O3) can be used to disinfect drinking water. Ozone is highly reactive and can react withchemical species and pathogens in water. It has been found in batch tests that ozone reactsaccording to a first-order reaction such that its concentration decreases by 50 percent in 10minutes (i.e., t1/2 = 10 min). A water supplier elects to use ozone as a pretreatment and injects itinto the water delivery pipe entering the plant. The pipe is 2.5 feet in diameter with a length of4,000 feet and handles a steady-state flow of 12,000 gpm. If the pipe can be considered a perfectPFR, identify the following.a. What is the water velocity in the pipe (in ft/s)?b. What initial concentration of ozone is required at the beginning of the pipe to have a 1.0mg/L concentration at the outlet?c. How much ozone must be added daily (in lb/day) if the O3 transfer process is 80% efficient?

A stream of ozone-enriched air (3% ozone by volume) is bubbled into a reactor as part of a disinfection strategy. Water entering the reactor is free of ozone. KH = 0.011 M/atm and KLa = 18 h-1 for ozone in this system. Ozone (O3) dissolved in water is unstable. The kinetics of decomposition are complex, but the rate can be approximated as first-order with respect to dissolved ozone. The first-order rate coefficient is pH-dependent and, at pH 8.0 and 25 C, is 12 h-1 in the system of interest. Find the steady-state concentration (mg/L) of dissolved ozone in the effluent if the reactor is operated as a CMFR with a 15-min retention time
