Experiments have shown that the average frequency of chirping by a snowy tree cricket (Oecanthus fultoni) depends on temperature as shown in the table. Chirping Rate (per min) Temperature (C) 178 25.0 126 20.3 100. 17.3 What is the apparent activation energy of the process that controls the chirping? What is the rate of chirping expected at a temperature of 7.5C?
The acid-catalyzed iodination of acetone CH3COCH3(aq) + I2(aq) CH3COCH2I(aq) + HI(aq) is a common laboratory experiment used in general chemistry courses to teach the method of initial rates. The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by the disappearance of the color of iodine in the solution. The following data (J. P. Birk and D. L Walters, Journal of Chemical Education, Vol. 69, p. 585, 1992) were collected at 23 C for this reaction. Determine the rate law for this reaction.
For each of the following reaction diagrams, estimate the activation energy (Ea) of the reaction:
The decomposition of azomethane, (CH3)2N2, to nitrogen and ethane gases is a first-order reaction, (CH3)2N2(g)N2(g)+C2H6(g). At a certain temperature, a 29-mg sample of azomethane is reduced to 12 mg in 1.4 s. (a) What is the rate constant k for the decomposition at that temperature? (b) What is the half-life of the decomposition? (c) How long will it take to decompose 78% of the azomethane?

Consider a 5.000 M solution of the hypothetical com- pound R. Its decomposition is a second-order reaction and its activation energy is 57.6 kJ/mol. At 759C, the half-life of the 5.000 M solution is 8.49 h. What is the half-life of the same solution at 700C (3 significant figures)?
One experimental procedure that can be used to determine the rate law of a reaction is the method of initial rates. What data are gathered in the method of initial rates, and how are these data manipulated to determine k and the orders of the species in the rate law? Are the units for k. the rate constant, the same for all rate laws? Explain. If a reaction is first order in A, what happens to the rate if [A] is tripled? If the initial rate for a reaction increases by a factor of 16 when [A] is quadrupled, what is the order of n? If a reaction is third order in A and [A] is doubled, what happens to the initial rate? If a reaction is zero order, what effect does [A] have on the initial rate of a reaction?
