The hydrolysis of the sugar sucrose to the sugars glucose and fructose, C12H22O11+H2OC6H12O6+C6H12O6 follows a first-order rate equation for the disappearance of sucrose: Rate =k[C12H22O11] (The products of the reaction, glucose and fructose, have the same molecular formulas but differ in the arrangement of the atoms in their molecules.) (a) In neutral solution, k=2.11011s1 at 27 C and 8.51011s1 at 37 C. Determine the activation energy, the frequency factor, and the rate constant for this equation at 47 C (assuming the kinetics remain consistent with the Arrhenius equation at this temperature). (b) When a solution of sucrose with an initial concentration of 0.150 M reaches equilibrium, the concentration of sucrose is 1.65107M . How long will it take the solution to reach equilibrium at 27 C in the absence of a catalyst? Because the concentration of sucrose at equilibrium is so low, assume that the reaction is irreversible. (c) Why does assuming that the reaction is irreversible simplify the calculation in pan (b)?
Nitric oxide, NO, is known to break down ozone, O3, by the following bimolecular reaction: NO(g)+O3(g)NO2(g)+O2(g) If the activation energy of this reaction is 10.5kJ/mol and the pre-exponential factor is 7.91011cm3/(mols), a what is the rate constant of this reaction at 298K? b If the ozone concentration were 5.41012mol/cm3 and the NO concentration were 2.01012mol/cm3 conditions that might exist in a high-pollution area, what is the rate of this reaction?
Show how equation 20.33 reduces to a simpler form of an integrated first-order rate law when the reverse reaction of an equilibrium is negligible.
A proposed mechanism for the gas-phase chlorination of methane is Cl2+CH4CH4Cl+ClCH4ClCH3+HClCH3+Cl2CH3Cl+ClCl+CH4CH3+HCl Suppose the first step is the RDS. What is the expected rate law in terms of the original reactants, Cl2 and CH4? How would you determine if this mechanism might be a potentially correct or, for that matter, a potentially incorrect one?
Some bacteria are resistant to the antibiotic penicillin because they produce penicillinase, an enzyme with a molecular weight of 3104 g/mol that converts penicillin into inactive molecules. Although the kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions can be complex, at low concentrations this reaction can be described by a rate equation that is first order in the catalyst (penicillinase) and that also involves the concentration of penicillin. From the following data: 1.0 L of a solution containing 0.15 g ( 0.15106 g) of penicillinase, determine the order of the reaction with respect to penicillin and the value of the rate constant. [Penicillin] (M) Rate (mol/L/min) 2.0106 1.01010 3.0106 1.51010 4.0106 2.01010
