Calcium oxide (CaO), an important ingredient in cement, is produced by decomposing calcium carbonate (CaCO3) at high temperature: CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g) In one particular reaction, 30 g of CaCO3 is heated at 500°C in a 5.0 L vessel. The pressure of CO2 is 0.13 atm after 6.0 minutes. What is the average rate of CO2 production in moles per minute during the 6 minutes? (Enter in mol/min.) If you assume this rate of decomposition remains constant, how many minutes will it take for the entire sample of CaCO3 to decompose?
In the Haber reaction, patented by German chemist Fritz Haber in 1908, dinitrogen gas combines with dihydrogen gas to produce gaseous ammonia. This reaction is now the first step taken to make most of the world's fertilizer.

A bimolecular chemical reaction is one in which two chemicals react to form another substance. Suppose that one molecule of each of the two chemicals reacts to form two molecules of a new substance. If x represents the number of molecules of the new substance at time t, then the rate of change of x is proportional to the square of the numbers of molecules of the original chemicals available to be converted. That is, if each of the chemicals initially contained A molecules, then dx dt = k(A − x)2 where k is a constant. If 40% of the initial amount A is converted after 1 hour, how long will it be before 50% is converted? (Give an exact answer. Do not round.)
The reform reaction between steam and gaseous methane (CH4) produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and dihydrogen gas. Synthesis gas is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals, and is the major industrial source of hydrogen. Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the reform reaction finds that 601. liters per second of methane are consumed when the reaction is run at 168.°C and 0.58atm. Calculate the rate at which dihydrogen is being produced. Give your answer in kilograms per second. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Until roughly 1970, tritium (3H), a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, was a component of fluorescent watch dials and hands. For 3H, t1/2 = 12.3 yr. Assume you have such a watch. If a minimum of 16.0% of the original tritium is needed to read the dial in dark places, for how many years could you read the time at night? Assume first-order kinetics.
Use the kinetic theory to justify the following observations: (a) the rate of a reaction in the gas phase depends on the energy with which two molecules collide, which in turn depends on their speeds; (b) in the Earth’s atmosphere, light gases, such as H2 and He, are rare but heavier gases, such as O2, CO2, and N2, are abundant.

7. Sulfuryl chloride, SO2Cl2, is a highly reactive gaseous compound. When heated, it decomposes as follows: SO2Cl2 (g) ⇌ SO2 (g) + Cl2 (g). This decomposition is endothermic. A sample of 3.509 grams of SO2Cl2 is placed in an evacuated 1.00-L bulb and the temperature is raised to 375 K. a. What would be the pressure (in atm) in the bulb if no dissociation of the SO2Cl2(g) occurred? b. When the system has come to equilibrium at 375 K, the total pressure in the bulb is found to be 1.43 atm. Calculate the partial pressures of SO2, Cl2, and SO2Cl2 at equilibrium. c. Give the expression for the equilibrium constant (either Kp or KC) for the decomposition of SO2Cl2(g) at 375 K. Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant you have selected. d. If the temperature were raised to 500 K, what effect would this have on the equilibrium constant? Explain in 1-2 sentences.
