Account for the relationship between the rate of a reaction and its activation energy.
For the following reaction profile, indicate a. the positions of reactants and products. b. the activation energy. c. E for the reaction.
(Section 11-5) A rule of thumb is that for a typical reaction, if concentrations are unchanged, a 10-K rise in temperature increases the reaction rate by two to four times. Use an average increase of three times to answer the questions below. (a) What is the approximate activation energy of a typical chemical reaction at 298 K? (b) If a catalyst increases a chemical reactions rate by providing a mechanism that has a lower activation energy, then what change do you expect a 10-K increase in temperature to make in the rate of a reaction whose uncatalyzed activation energy of 75 kJ/mol has been lowered to one half this value (at 298 K) by addition of a catalyst?
The following statements relate to the reaction for the formation of HI: H2(g) + I2(g) -* 2 HI(g) Rate = it[HJ [I2J Determine which of the following statements are true. If a statement is false, indicate why it is incorrect. The reaction must occur in a single step. This is a second-order reaction overall. Raising the temperature will cause the value of k to decrease. Raising the temperature lowers the activation energy' for this reaction. If the concentrations of both reactants are doubled, the rate will double. Adding a catalyst in the reaction will cause the initial rate to increase.
Consider a reaction in which E a=129 kJ and H=29 kJ. In the presence of a catalyst, the activation energy is 48% of the uncatalyzed reaction. Follow the directions in Question 71 in drawing an energy diagram.
