A student discovers that the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid is faster at higher temperatures. What part of Kinetic Molecular Theory explains this observation? A. at higher temperatures, the reactants have more energy and are more likely to have the activation energy needed to complete the reaction B. at higher temperatures, the reactants are moving more and are more likely to run into each other

. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.
In Chapter 3, we discussed the conversion of biomass into biofuels. One important area of research associated with biofuels is the identification and development of suitable catalysts to increase the rate at which fuels can be produced. Do a web search to find an article describing biofuel catalysts. Then, write one or two sentences describing the reactions being catalyzed, and identify the catalyst as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
Old-fashioned smelling salts consist of ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3. The reaction for the decomposition of ammonium carbonate (NH4)2CO3(s)2NH3(g)+CO(g)+H2O(g) is endothermic. Would the smell of ammonia increase or decrease as the temperature is increased?
use the kineticmolecular theory to explain why an increase in temperature increases reaction rate.
Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
For the endothermic reaction AB(g)A(g)+B(g), the following represents a reaction container at two different temperatures. Which one (I or II) is at the lower temperature?
For the gas-phase reaction 2H2+O22H2O rxnG is 457.18kJ. What does a graph of G versus lnQ lnQ varying from 50 to +50 look like at 25C? Change the temperature and find out if the graph looks substantially different at different temperatures.
Which reaction mechanism assumptions are unimportant in describing simple ionic reactions between cations and anions? Why?
