Consider the following statements: In general, the rate of a chemical reaction increases a bit at first because it takes a while for the reaction to get warmed up. After that, however, the rate of the reaction decreases because its rate is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and these are decreasing. Indicate everything that is correct in these statements, and indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect statements and explain.

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?

Kinetics I Consider the hypothetical reaction A(g) + 2B(g) h C(g). The four containers below represent this reaction being run with different initial amounts of A and B. Assume that the volume of each container is 1.0 L. The reaction is second order with respect to A and first order with respect to B. a Based on the information presented in the problem, write the rate law for the reaction. b Which of the containers, W, X, Y, or Z, would have the greatest reaction rate? Justify your answer. c Which of the containers would have the lowest reaction rate? Explain. d If the volume of the container X were increased to 2.0 L, how would the rate of the reaction in this larger container compare to the rate of reaction run in the 1.0-L container X? (Assume that the number of A and B atoms is the same in each case.) e If the temperature in container W were increased, what impact would this probably have on the rate of reaction? Why? f If you want to double the rate of reaction in container X, what are some things that you could do to the concentration(s) of A and B? g In which container would you observe the slowest rate of formation of C? h Assuming that A and B are not in great excess, which would have the greater impact on the rate of reaction in container W: removing a unit of B or removing a unit of A? Explain. i Describe how the rate of consumption of A compares to the rate of consumption of B. If you cannot answer this question, what additional information do you need to provide an answer? j If the product C were removed from the container as it formed, what effect would this have on the rate of the reaction?
One experimental procedure that can be used to determine the rate law of a reaction is the method of initial rates. What data are gathered in the method of initial rates, and how are these data manipulated to determine k and the orders of the species in the rate law?

If a reaction is zero order, what effect does [A] have on the initial rate of a reaction?
