In a first-order reaction, suppose that a quantity X of a reactant is added at regular intervals of time, t. At first the amount of reactant in the system builds up; eventually, however, it levels off at a saturation value given by the expression a saturation value saturationvalue= x110a where a=0.30tt1/2 This analysis applies to prescription drugs, of which you take a certain amount each day. Suppose that you take 0.100 g of a drug three times a day and that the half-life for elimination is 2.0 days. Using this equation, calculate the mass of the drug in the body at saturation. Suppose further that side effects show up when 0.500 g of the drug accumulates in the body. As a pharmacist, what is the maximum dosage you could assign to a patient for an 8-h period without causing side effects?
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.
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.
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)?
Derive an expression for the half-life of a a third order reaction;b a reaction whose order is =1; c a reaction whose order is 12. In these last two cases, examples are rare but known.
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?
If a reaction has the same rate constant, what time does it take for a reactant to decrease by 5 that is, still near the beginning of the reaction process if the kinetics are zeroth-order, first-order, and second-order with respect to that reactant?
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.)
One can also define a third-life, t1/3, which is the amount of time necessary for one-third of an original amount of reactant to react. a For which order of kinetics is the third-life a constant? b Derive an expression for the t1/3 of a zeroth-order reaction. For how many third-lives will the reaction proceed before completion?
The first-order rate constant for the decomposition of a certain hormone in water at 25C is 3.42104day1. (a) If a 0.0200 M solution of the hormone is stored at 25C for two months, what will its concentration be at the end of that period? (b) How long will it take for the concentration of the solution to drop from 0.0200 M to 0.00350 M? (c) What is the half-life of the hormone?
Nitroglycerine is an extremely sensitive explosive. In a series of carefully controlled experiments, samples of the explosive were heated to 160 C and their first-order decomposition studied.
