The decomposition reaction of NO 2 is important in atmospheric chemistry. The reaction 2NO 2(g) → 2NO(g) + O 2(g) is second order with respect to NO 2. How can the rate constant be determined? A plot of 1/[NO2] versus time will be linear with a slope of -k. A plot of 1/[NO2] versus time will be linear with a slope of k. A plot of [NO2] versus time will be linear with a slope of -k. A plot of In[NO2] versus time will be linear with a slope of -k. Click Save and Submit to save and submit. Click Save All Answers to save all answers.

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?
Candle wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons. In the reaction of oxygen with candle w ax in Figure 11.2, the rate of consumption of oxygen decreased with time after the flask was covered, and eventually' the flame went out. From the perspective of the kinetic-molecular theory, describe what is happening in the flask. FIGURE 11.2 When a candle burns in a closed container, the flame will diminish and eventually go out. As the amount of oxygen present decreases, the rate of combustion will also decrease. Eventually, the rate of combustion is no longer sufficient to sustain the flame even though there is still some oxygen present in the vessel.
Hypofluorous acid, HOF, is very unstable, decomposing in a first-order reaction to give HF and O2, with a half-life of 30. minutes at room temperature: HOF(g) HF(g) + O2(g) If the partial pressure of HOF in a 1.00-L flask is initially 1.00 102 mm Hg at 25 C, what are the total pressure in the flask and the partial pressure of HOF after exactly 30 minutes? After 45 minutes?
For the past 10 years, the unsaturated hydrocarbon 1, 3-butadiene (CH2 = CH - CH = CH2) has ranked 38th among the top 50 industrial Chemicals. It is used primarily for the manufacture of synthetic rubber. An isomer exists also as cyclobutene: The isomerization of cyclobutene to butadiene is first-order and the rate constant has been measured as 2.0104s1 at 150 C in a 0.53-L ?ask. Determine the partial pressure of cyclobutene and its concentration after 30.0 minutes if an isomerization reaction is carried out at 150 C with an initial pressure of 55 torr.
11.41 For a drug to be effective in treating an illness, its levels in the bloodstream must be maintained for a period of time. One way to measure the level of a drug in the body is to measure its rate of appearance in the urine. The rate of excretion of penicillin is first order, with a half-life of about 30 min. If a person receives an injection of 25 mg of penicillin at t = 0, how much penicillin remains in the body after 3 hours?
The rate of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, depends on the concentration of iodide ion present. The rate of decomposition was measured at constant temperature and pressure for various concentrations of H2O2and of KI. The data appear below. Determine the order of reaction for each substance, write the rate law, and evaluate the rate constant. Rate [H2OJ [Kll (mL min-’) (mol L ’) (mol L ’) 0.090 0.15 0.033 0.178 0.30 0.033 0.184 0.15 0.066
Ammonia decomposes when heated according to the equation NH3(g) NH2(g) + H(g) The data in the table for this reaction were collected at a high temperature. Plot In [NH3] versus time and 1/[NH3] versus time. What is the order of this reaction with respect to NH3? Find the rate constant for the reaction from the slope.
As with any drug, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) must remain in the bloodstream long enough to be effective. Assume that the removal of aspirin from the bloodstream into the urine is a lirst-order reaction, with a half-life of about 3 hours. The instructions on an aspirin bottle say to take 1 or 2 tablets every 4 hours. If a person takes 2 aspirin tablets, how much aspirin remains in the bloodstream when it is time for the second dose? (A standard tablet contains 325 mg of aspirin.)
One mechanism for the destruction of ozone in the upper atmosphere is a. Which species is a catalyst? b. Which species is an intermediate? c. Ea for the uncatalyzed reaction O3(g)+O(g)2O2(g) is 14.0 kJ. Ea. for the same reaction when catalyzed is 11.9 kJ. What is the ratio of the rate constant for the catalyzed reaction to that for the uncatalyzed reaction at 25C? Assume that the frequency factor A is the same for each reaction.
