Metals often form several cations with different charges.Cerium, for example, forms Ce³+ and Ce4+ ions, andthallium forms Tl* and TI³+ ions. Cerium and thalliumions react as follows:2Ce4+ (aq) + TI+ (aq)→2CE³+ (aq)+ T1³+ (aq)This reaction is very slow and is thought to occur in asingle elementary step. The reaction is catalyzed by theaddition of Mn2+(aq) according to the followingmechanism:Ce+ (aq) + Mn²+ (aq) → Ce³+(aq) + Mn3+ (aq)Cet+ (aq) + Mn³+(aq) → Ce³+(aq) + Mn+ (aq)Mn4+ (aq) + TI+(aq)→ Mn²+(aq) + T1³+ (aq) Based on their available oxidation states, rank the following metals on their ability to catalyze thisand other oxidation-reduction reactions.Rank from best to worst catalyst. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.• View Available Hint(s)ResetHelpvanadiummanganesetitanium

In Chapter 3, we discussed the conversion of biomass into biofuels. One important area of research associated with biofuels is the identification and development of suitable catalysts to increase the rate at which fuels can be produced. Do a web search to find an article describing biofuel catalysts. Then, write one or two sentences describing the reactions being catalyzed, and identify the catalyst as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
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.
Ammonium cyanate, NH4NCO, rearranges in water to give urea, (NH2)2CO. NH4NCO(aq) (NH2)2CO(aq) Using the data in the table: (a) Decide whether the reaction is first-order or second-order. (b) Calculate k for this reaction. (c) Calculate the half-life of ammonium cyanate under these conditions. (d) Calculate the concentration of NH4NCO after 12.0 hours.
For a first order gas phase reaction A products, k = 7.2 104s1 at 660. K and k = 1.7 102s1 at 720. K. If the initial pressure of A is 536 torr at 295C, how long will it take for the pressure of A to decrease to 268 torr?
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?
Chlorine dioxide oxidizes iodide ion in aqueous solution to iodine; chlorine dioxide is reduced to chlorite ion. 2ClO2(aq)+2I(aq)2ClO2(aq)+I2(aq) The order of the reaction with respect to ClO2 was determined by starting with a large excess of I, so that its concentration was essentially constant. Then Rate=k[ClO2]m[I]n=k[ClO2]m where k= k[I]n. Determine the order with respect to ClO2 and the rate constant k by plotting the following data assuming first- and then second-order kinetics.
