A reaction has the experimental rate equation, rate = k[A]*. How will the rate change if the concentration of A is tripled? If the concentration of A is halved? For this reaction, if the concentration of A is tripled, the rate of the reaction will be A times the original value. If the concentration of A is halved, the rate will be - times the original value.

This time, increase the initial temperature until, on the graph, the total average energy line is completely above the potential energy curve. Describe what happens to the reaction.
A certain reaction has the form aAProducts At a particular temperature, concentration versus time data were collected. A plot of 1/ [A] versus Lime (in seconds) gave a straight line with a slope of 6.90 102. What is the differential rate law for this reaction? What is the integrated rate law for this reaction? What is the value of the rate constant for this reaction? If [A]0 for this reaction is 0.100 M, what is the first half-life (in seconds)?

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?
Cyclobutane can decompose to form ethylene: The cyclobutane concentration can be measured as a function of time by mass spectrometry (a graph is nearby).
