The label on a bottle of 3% (by volume) hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, purchased at a grocery store, states that the solution should be stored in a cool, dark place. H2O2decomposes slowly over time, and the rate of decomposition increases with an increase in temperature and in the presence of light. However, the rate of decomposition increases dramatically if a small amount of powdered MnO- is added to the solution. The decomposition products are H2O and O2. MnO2 is not consumed in the reaction. Write the equation for the decomposition of H2O2. What role does MnO2 play? In the chemistry lab, a student substituted a chunk of MnO2 for the powdered compound. The reaction rate was not appreciably increased. WTiat is one possible explanation for this observation? Is MnO2 part of the stoichiometry of the decomposition of H2O2?
Consider the decomposition reaction 2X2Y+ZThe following graph shows the change in concentration with respect to time for the reaction. What does each of the curves labeled 1, 2, and 3 represent?
The initial rate for a reaction is equal to the slope of the tangent line at t 0 in a plot of [A] versus time. From calculus, initial rate = d[A]dt . Therefore. the differential rate law for a reaction is Rate = d[A]dt=k[A]n. Assuming you have some calculus in your background, derive the zero-, first-, and second-order integrated rate laws using the differential rate law.
Candle wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons. In the reaction of oxygen with candle w ax in Figure 11.2, the rate of consumption of oxygen decreased with time after the flask was covered, and eventually' the flame went out. From the perspective of the kinetic-molecular theory, describe what is happening in the flask. FIGURE 11.2 When a candle burns in a closed container, the flame will diminish and eventually go out. As the amount of oxygen present decreases, the rate of combustion will also decrease. Eventually, the rate of combustion is no longer sufficient to sustain the flame even though there is still some oxygen present in the vessel.
The reaction 2 NO(g) + 2 H2(g) N2(g) + 2 H2O(g) was studied at 904 C, and the data in the table were collected. (a) Determine the order of the reaction for each reactant.

Consider the following statements: In general, the rate of a chemical reaction increases a bit at first because it takes a while for the reaction to get warmed up. After that, however, the rate of the reaction decreases because its rate is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and these are decreasing. Indicate everything that is correct in these statements, and indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect statements and explain.
