For a different experiment with a different chemical reaction, a student found the rate law to be the following: rate = k[A]? [B][C] In trying to better understand the kinetics of the reaction, this student performed a series of experiments to try and calculate the activation energy of the reaction. The measurements they obtained are the following: Mixture # VA (mL) VB (mL) Vc (mL) Vwater (mL) Initial Reaction Rate T(°C) 10 10 10 0.135 18.32 10 10 10 0.197 25.44 3 10 10 10 0. 0.322 36.87 4 10 10 10 0.453 44.46 10 10 10 0.612 57.52 Based on these measurements, what would be the activation energy, E, for this chemical reaction? Report your answer in units of kJ/mol and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.

Regular ?ights of supersonic aircraft in the stratosphere ale of concern because such aircraft produce nitric oxide, NO, as a byproduct in the exhaust of their engines. Nitric oxide reacts with ozone, and it has been suggested that this could contribute to depletion of the ozone layer. The reaction NO+O3NO2+O2 is first order with respect to both NO and O3 with a rate constant of 2.20107 L/mol/s. What is the instantaneous rate of disappearance of NO when [NO]=3.3106 M and [O3]=5.9107M?
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?
What is the difference between average rate, initial rate, and instantaneous rate?
The hydrolysis of the sugar sucrose to the sugars glucose and fructose, C12H22O11+H2OC6H12O6+C6H12O6 follows a first-order rate equation for the disappearance of sucrose: Rate =k[C12H22O11] (The products of the reaction, glucose and fructose, have the same molecular formulas but differ in the arrangement of the atoms in their molecules.) (a) In neutral solution, k=2.11011s1 at 27 C and 8.51011s1 at 37 C. Determine the activation energy, the frequency factor, and the rate constant for this equation at 47 C (assuming the kinetics remain consistent with the Arrhenius equation at this temperature). (b) When a solution of sucrose with an initial concentration of 0.150 M reaches equilibrium, the concentration of sucrose is 1.65107M . How long will it take the solution to reach equilibrium at 27 C in the absence of a catalyst? Because the concentration of sucrose at equilibrium is so low, assume that the reaction is irreversible. (c) Why does assuming that the reaction is irreversible simplify the calculation in pan (b)?
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.
Define stability from both a kinetic and thermodynamic perspective. Give examples to show the differences in these concepts.
The thermal decomposition of diacetylene, C4H2, was studied at 950 C. Use the following data (K. C. Hou and H. B. Palmer, Journal of Physical Chemistry. Vol. 60, p. 858, 1965) to determine the order of the reaction.
The initial rate for a reaction is equal to the slope of the tangent line at t 0 in a plot of [A] versus time. From calculus, initial rate = d[A]dt . Therefore. the differential rate law for a reaction is Rate = d[A]dt=k[A]n. Assuming you have some calculus in your background, derive the zero-, first-, and second-order integrated rate laws using the differential rate law.
When formic acid is heated, it decomposes to hydrogen and carbon dioxide in a first-order decay: HCOOH(g)CO2(g)+H2(g) The rate of reaction is monitored by measuring the total pressure in the reaction container. Time (s) Pressure (torr) 0 220 50 324 100 379 150 408 200 423 250 431 300 435 Calculate the rate constant and half-life in seconds for the reaction. At the start of the reaction (time = 0), only formic acid is present. (HINT: Find the partial pressure of formic acid using Dalton's law of partial pressure and the reaction stoichiometry to find PHCOOH at each time.)
