. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.
use the kineticmolecular theory to explain why an increase in temperature increases reaction rate.
How does an increase in temperature affect rate of reaction? Explain this effect in terms of the collision theory of the reaction rate.
If a textbook defined a catalyst as "a substance that increases the rate of a reaction," would that definition be adequate?
In general, can we predict the effect of doubling the concentration of A on the rate of the overall reaction A+BC? Can we predict the effect if the reaction is known to be an elementary reaction?
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?
Explain what is meant by the average rate of a reaction.
