When enzymes are present at very low concentration, their effect on reaction rate can be described by first-order kinetics. Calculate by what factor the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction changes when the enzyme concentration is changed from 1.5 107 M to 4.5 106 M.
A drug decomposes in the blood by a first-order process. A pill containing 0.500 g of the active ingredient reaches its maximum concentration of 2.5 mg/ 100 mL of blood. If the half-life of the active ingredient is 75 min, what is its concentration in the blood 2.0 h after the maximum concentration has been reached?
Hypofluorous acid, HOF, is very unstable, decomposing in a first-order reaction to give HF and O2, with a half-life of 30. minutes at room temperature: HOF(g) HF(g) + O2(g) If the partial pressure of HOF in a 1.00-L flask is initially 1.00 102 mm Hg at 25 C, what are the total pressure in the flask and the partial pressure of HOF after exactly 30 minutes? After 45 minutes?
The reaction of NO2(g) and CO(g) is thought to occur in two steps to give NO and CO2: Step 1: Slow NO2(g) + NO2(g) NO(g) + NO3(g) Step 2: Fast NO3(g) + CO(g) NO2(g) + CO2(g) (a) Show that the elementary steps add up to give the overall, stoichiometric equation.

For the past 10 years, the unsaturated hydrocarbon 1, 3-butadiene (CH2 = CH - CH = CH2) has ranked 38th among the top 50 industrial Chemicals. It is used primarily for the manufacture of synthetic rubber. An isomer exists also as cyclobutene: The isomerization of cyclobutene to butadiene is first-order and the rate constant has been measured as 2.0104s1 at 150 C in a 0.53-L ?ask. Determine the partial pressure of cyclobutene and its concentration after 30.0 minutes if an isomerization reaction is carried out at 150 C with an initial pressure of 55 torr.

An excellent way to make highly pure nickel metal for use in specialized steel alloys is to decompose Ni(CO)4 by heating it in a vacuum to slightly above room temperature. Ni(CO)4(g) Ni(s) + 4 CO(g) The reaction is proposed to occur in four steps, the first of which is Ni(CO)4(g) Ni(CO)3(g) + CO(g) Kinetic studies of this first-order decomposition reaction have been carried out between 47.3 C and 66.0 C to give the results in the table. (a) Determine the activation energy for this reaction. (b) Ni(CO)4 is formed by the reaction of nickel metal with carbon monoxide. Suppose that 2.05 g CO is combined with 0.125 g nickel metal. Determine the maximum mass (g) of Ni(CO)4 that can be formed. Replacement of CO by another molecule in Ni(CO)4 was studied in the nonaqueous solvents toluene and hexane to understand the general principles that govern the chemistry of such compounds. Ni(CO)4(g) + P(CH3)3 Ni(CO)3P(CH3)3 + CO A detailed study of the kinetics of the reaction led to the mechanism Step1:(slow)Ni(CO)4Ni(CO)3+COStep2:(fast)Ni(CO)3+P(CH3)3Ni(CO)3P(CH3)3 (c) Which step in the mechanism is unimolecular? Which is bimolecular? (d) Add the steps of the mechanism to show that the result is the balanced equation for the observed reaction. (e) Is there an intermediate in this reaction? If so, what is it? (f) It was found that doubling the concentration of Ni(CO)4 increased the reaction rate by a factor of 2. Doubling the concentration of P(CH3)3 had no effect on the reaction rate. Based on this information, write the rate equation for the reaction. (g) Does the experimental rate equation support the proposed mechanism? Why or why not?
As with any drug, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) must remain in the bloodstream long enough to be effective. Assume that the removal of aspirin from the bloodstream into the urine is a lirst-order reaction, with a half-life of about 3 hours. The instructions on an aspirin bottle say to take 1 or 2 tablets every 4 hours. If a person takes 2 aspirin tablets, how much aspirin remains in the bloodstream when it is time for the second dose? (A standard tablet contains 325 mg of aspirin.)
The Raschig reaction produces the industrially important reducing agent hydrazine, N2H4, from ammonia, NH3, and hypochlorite ion, OCl−, in basic aqueous solution.

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?
