In a study of the conversion of methyl isonitrile to acetonitrile in the gas phase at 250 °C CH3NC(g) CH3CN(g) the concentration of CH3NC was followed as a function of time. It was found that a graph of In[CH3NC] versus time in seconds gave a straight line with a slope of -4.20×10s and a y-intercept of -2.27 . Based on this plot, the reaction is vJorder in CH3NC and the rate constant for the reaction is

Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
Amoxicillin is an antibiotic packaged as a powder. When it is used to treat babies and small animals, the pharmacist or veterinarian must suspend it in water, so that it can be administered orally with a medicine dropper. The label says to dispose of unused suspension after 14 days. It also points out that refrigeration is required. In the context of this chapter, what is implied in the latter two statements?
The decomposition of aqueous sucrose to form the isomers glucose and fructose is a common organic reaction, which requires a strong catalyst: C12H22O11(aq) + H2O(l) → 2C6H12O6(aq).

Use the Scatter chart type and use the subtype that connect the points with a line. c. Create a graph of LN(H2O2) versus time. Use the scatter chart type and use the subtype that does not connect the points with a line. Instead, insert a trendline (linear fit) and display the equation of the line on the graph. d. Using the trendline equation, calculate the natural log of concentration (LN[H2O2] corresponding to a time elapsed of 200 seconds. From that value, calculate the molar concentration of H2O2 at 200 seconds
A reaction increases its rate four times when temperature increases from 250 K to 300 K. What is the activation energy of the reaction? Round off your answer to 3 significant figures and with correct units:
For the fictitious reaction: AB → A + B Some data was collected measuring the [AB] at certain time intervals. This data was then graphed as described below. A graph of 1/[AB] versus time (s) gives a straight line with the equation: y = 0.0052x + 0.1135 and a R2 = 0.9995. A graph of ln[AB] versus time (s) gives a straight line with the equation: y = -0.0068x + 1.725 and a R2 = 0.8925. Assume the data doesn't fit a zero order reaction. The rate law is: Rate = k[AB]2 Find: What is the value of the rate constant for the given reaction? Select one: a. k = 0.0157 Ms-1 b. k = 0.0052 M-1s-1 c. k = 0.0068 s-1 d. There is no way to determine the value of the rate constant from the given information.

حد يدبرلنا طريقة حل فرع C A research group discovers a new version of happyase, which they call happyase*, that catalyzes the chemical reaction HAPPY ⇌ SAD. The researchers begin to characterize the enzyme. (a) In the first experiment, with [Et] at 4 nM, they find that the Vmax is 1.6 μM s−1. Based on this experiment, what is the kcat for happyase*? (Include appropriate units.) (b) In another experiment, with [Et] at 1 nM and [HAPPY] at 30 μM, the researchers find that V0 = 300 nM s−1. What is the measured Km of happyase* for its substrate HAPPY? (Include appropriate units.) (c) Further research shows that the purified happyase used in the first two experiments was actually contaminated with a reversible inhibitor called ANGER. When ANGER is carefully removed from the happyase preparation and the two experiments repeated, the measured Vmax in (a) is increased to 4.8 μM s−1, and the measured Km in (b) is now 15 μM. For the inhibitor ANGER, calculate the values of α and α′. . (d)…
