Question

1. Nitrogen and oxygen react at high temperatures. What will happen to the concentrations of H2, CO, CH3OH at equilibrium if a catalyst is added?

a. Double

b. Catalyst will be contaminated

c. Depends on the catalyst

d. Nothing

2. In an experiment, a sample of NaClO3 was 90% decomposed in 48 min. Approximately how long would this decomposition have taken if the sample had been heated 20° C higher? (Hint: Assume the rate doubles for each 10° C rise in temperature.)

a. 12 minutes

b. 48 minutes

c. 24 minutes

d. 20 minutes

3. The decomposition of acetaldehyde is a second order reaction with a rate constant of 4.7 x 10-8 L mol-1 s-1. What is the instantaneous rate of decomposition of acetaldehyde in a solution with a concentration of 5.55 x 10-4 M?

 
4. In the nuclear industry, chlorine trifluoride is used to prepare uranium hexafluoride, a volatile compound of uranium used in the separation of uranium isotopes. Chlorine trifluoride is prepared by the reaction Cl2(g) + 3F2(g) ---> 2ClF3(g). What is the equation that relates the rate expressions for this reaction in terms of the disappearance of Cl2 and F2 and the formation of ClF3?
 
5. If the rate constant for this second-order reaction is 8.0 x 10 -8 L mol-1 s-1 , what is the half-life for the decomposition of NOCl when the concentration of NOCl is 0.15 M?
 

6. In what direction will implementing CO(g) + NO2(g) ---> CO2(g) + NO(g) affect the rate of the reaction, decreasing the pressure of NO2 from 0.50 atm to 0.250 atm?

a. Decrease the production of the products
b. No change
c. Increase the production of the products
d. Double the production of the products
 

7. Water gas is a 1:1 mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas and is called water gas because it is formed from steam and hot carbon in the following reaction: H2O(g) + C(s) <---> H2(g) + CO(g) . Methanol, a liquid fuel that could possibly replace gasoline, can be prepared from water gas and hydrogen at high temperature and pressure in the presence of a suitable catalyst. What will happen to the concentrations of H, CO, and CH3OH at equilibrium if more catalyst is added?

a. Double
b. Depends on the catalyst
c. Nothing
d. Catalyst will be contaminated
 

8. The rate constant for the first-order decomposition at 45 degrees celcius of dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5, dissolved in chloroform, CHCl3, is 6.2 x 10-4 min-1. What is the rate of the reaction when N2O5= 0.40M?                         2N2O5 ---> 4NO+ O

9. Both technetium-99 and thallium-201 are used to image heart muscle in patients with suspected heart problems. The half-lives are 6 h and 73 h, respectively. What percent of the radioactivity would remain for each of the isotopes after 2 days (48 h)?
