In a study of the gas phase decomposition of nitrosyl chloride at 400 K NOCI(g)NO(g) + ½ Cl2(g) the concentration of NOCI was followed as a function of time. It was found that a graph of 1/[NOC] versus time in seconds gave a straight line with a slope of 7.97×10-4 M-1 5-l and a y-intercept of 38.0 M-!. Based on this plot, the reaction is order in NOC1 and the rate constant for the reaction is

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.
The label on a bottle of 3% (by volume) hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, purchased at a grocery store, states that the solution should be stored in a cool, dark place. H2O2decomposes slowly over time, and the rate of decomposition increases with an increase in temperature and in the presence of light. However, the rate of decomposition increases dramatically if a small amount of powdered MnO- is added to the solution. The decomposition products are H2O and O2. MnO2 is not consumed in the reaction. Write the equation for the decomposition of H2O2. What role does MnO2 play? In the chemistry lab, a student substituted a chunk of MnO2 for the powdered compound. The reaction rate was not appreciably increased. WTiat is one possible explanation for this observation? Is MnO2 part of the stoichiometry of the decomposition of H2O2?
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?
Experiments have shown that the average frequency of chirping by a snowy tree cricket (Oecanthus fultoni) depends on temperature as shown in the table. Chirping Rate (per min) Temperature (C) 178 25.0 126 20.3 100. 17.3 What is the apparent activation energy of the process that controls the chirping? What is the rate of chirping expected at a temperature of 7.5C?
The following rate constants were obtained in an experiment in which the decomposition of gaseous N2O; was studied as a function of temperature. The products were NO, and NO,. Temperature (K) 3.5 x 10_i 298 2.2 x 10"4 308 6.8 X IO-4 318 3.1 x 10 1 328 Determine Etfor this reaction in kj/mol.
The decomposition of NO2(g) occurs by the following bimolecular elementary reaction: 2NO2(g)2NO(g)+O2(g) The rate constant at 273 K is 2.3 1012 L/mol s, and the activation energy is 111 kJ/mol. How long will it take for the concentration of NO2(g) to decrease from an initial partial pressure of 2.5 atm to 1.5 atm at 500. K? Assume ideal gas behavior.
The decomposition of gaseous dimethyl ether at ordinary pressures is first-order. Its half-life is 25.0 minutes at 500 C: CH3OCH3(g) CH4(g) + CO(g) + H2(g) (a) Starting with 8.00 g of dimethyl ether, what mass remains (in grams) after 125 minutes and after 145 minutes? (b) Calculate the time in minutes required to decrease 7.60 ng (nanograms) to 2.25 ng. (c) What fraction of the original dimethyl ether remains after 150 minutes?
Explain why half-lives are not normally used to describe reactions other than first order.
A catalyst reduces the activation energy of a reaction from 215 to 206 kJ. By what factor would you expect the reaction-rate constant to increase at 25 C? Assume that the pre-exponential term (A) is the same for both reactions. (Hint: Use the formula ln k = ln A Ea/RT.)
