Consider the system A(g)+2B(g)+C(g)2D(g)at 25C. At zero time, only A, B, and C are present. The reaction reaches equilibrium 10 min after the reaction is initiated. Partial pressures of A, B, and D are written as PA, PB, and PD. Answer the questions below, using LT (for is less than), GT (for is greater than), EQ (for is equal to), or MI (for more information required). (a) PD at 11 min PD at 12 min. (b) PA at 5 min PA at 7 min. (c) K for the forward reaction K for the reverse reaction. (d) At equilibrium, K Q. (e) After the system is at equilibrium, more of gas B is added. After the system returns to equilibrium, K before the addition of B K after the addition of B. (f) The same reaction is initiated, this time with a catalyst K for the system without a catalyst the system with a catalyst. (g) K for the formation of one mole of D K for the formation of two moles of D. (h) The temperature of the system is increased to 35C. PB at equilibrium at 25C PB at equilibrium at 35C. (i) Ten more grams of C are added to the system. PB before the addition of C PB after the addition of C.
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.
Why are there no changes specified for Ni in Exercise 13.61, part (f)? What property of Ni does change?
In the PhET Reactions tab to observe how multiple atoms and molecules interact under varying conditions. Select a molecule to pump into the chamber. Set the initial temperature and select the current amounts of each reactant. Select Show bonds under Options. How is the rate of the reaction affected by concentration and temperature?
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?
For the gas-phase reaction 2H2+O22H2O rxnG is 457.18kJ. What does a graph of G versus lnQ lnQ varying from 50 to +50 look like at 25C? Change the temperature and find out if the graph looks substantially different at different temperatures.
