In the PhET Reactions under Options. (a) Leave the Initial Temperature at the default setting. Observe the reaction. Is the rate of reaction fast or slow? (b) Click Pause" and then Reset All, and then enter 15 molecules of A and 10 molecules of BC once again. Select Show Bonds" under Options. This time, increase the initial temperature until, on the graph, the total average energy line is completely above the potential energy curve. Describe what happens to the reaction.
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?
For a certain reaction, Ea is 135 kJ and H=45 kJ. In the presence of a catalyst, the activation energy is 39% of that for the uncatalyzed reaction. Draw a diagram similar to Figure 11.14 but instead of showing two activated complexes (two humps) show only one activated complex (i.e., only one hump) for the reaction. What is the activation energy of the uncatalyzed reverse reaction?

11.41 For a drug to be effective in treating an illness, its levels in the bloodstream must be maintained for a period of time. One way to measure the level of a drug in the body is to measure its rate of appearance in the urine. The rate of excretion of penicillin is first order, with a half-life of about 30 min. If a person receives an injection of 25 mg of penicillin at t = 0, how much penicillin remains in the body after 3 hours?
At low temperatures, the rate law for the reaction CO(g)+NO2(g)CO2(g)+NO(g)is as follows: rate=(constant)[ NO2 ]2. Which of the following mechanisms is consistent with the rate law?

A certain reaction has the form aAProducts At a particular temperature, concentration versus time data were collected. A plot of 1/ [A] versus Lime (in seconds) gave a straight line with a slope of 6.90 102. What is the differential rate law for this reaction? What is the integrated rate law for this reaction? What is the value of the rate constant for this reaction? If [A]0 for this reaction is 0.100 M, what is the first half-life (in seconds)? If the original concentration (at t = 0) is 0.100 M, what is the second half-life (in seconds)?
Radioactive phosphorus is used in the study of biochemical reaction mechanisms because phosphorus atoms are components of many biochemical molecules. The location of the phosphorus (and the location of the molecule it is bound in) can be detected from the electrons (beta particles) it produces: P1532S1632+e Rate =4.85102day1[32P] What is the instantaneous rate of production of electrons in a sample with a phosphorus concentration of 0.0033 M?
