The color change accompanying the reaction of phenolphthalein with strong base is illustrated below. The change in concentration of the dye can be followed by spectrophotometry (Section 4.9), and some data collected by that approach are given below. The initial concentrations were [phenolphthalein] = 0.0050 mol/L and [OH] = 0.61 mol/L. (Data are taken from review materials for kinetics at chemed.chem.purdue.edu.) (For more details on this reaction see L Nicholson, Journal of Chemical Education, Vol. 66, p. 725, 1989.) (a) Plot the data above as [phenolphthalein] versus time, and determine the average rate from t = 0 to t = 15 seconds and from t = 100 seconds to t = 125 seconds. Does the rate change? If so, why? (b) Use a graphical method to determine the order of the reaction with respect to phenolphthalein. Write the rate law, and determine the rate constant. (c) What is the half-life for the reaction?
The acid-catalyzed iodination of acetone CH3COCH3(aq) + I2(aq) CH3COCH2I(aq) + HI(aq) is a common laboratory experiment used in general chemistry courses to teach the method of initial rates. The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by the disappearance of the color of iodine in the solution. The following data (J. P. Birk and D. L Walters, Journal of Chemical Education, Vol. 69, p. 585, 1992) were collected at 23 C for this reaction. Determine the rate law for this reaction.
Instantaneous rates for the reaction of hydroxide ion with Cv+ can be determined from the slope of the curve in Figure 11.3 at various concentrations.

Between (2) and (4)? Between (3) and (5)? (b) What is the relationship between the concentrations in each of these cases? (c) Is the rate of the reaction proportional to the concentration of Cv+? Explain your answer.
The oxidation of iodide ion by the hypochlorite ion in the presence of hydroxide ions I(aq) + ClO(aq) IO(aq) + Cl(aq) was studied at 25 C, and the following initial rates data (Y. Chia and R. E. Connick, Journal of Physical Chemistry, Vol. 63, p. 1518, 1959) were collected: (a) Determine the rate law for this reaction. (b) One mechanism that has been proposed for this reaction is the following: Show that the rate law predicted by this mechanism matches the experimentally determined rate law in part a. (Note that when writing the expression for K the equilibrium constant, [H2O] is not involved. See Chapter 15.)

The streptomycin in 500 g of a broth was determined by addition of 1.25 mg of the pure antibiotic containing 14C. The specific activity of this preparation was found to be 240 cpm/mg for a 30-min count. From the mixture, 0.112 mg of purified streptomycin was isolated which produced 675 counts in 60.0 min. Calculate the concentration in parts per million streptomycin in the sample.
You and a coworker have developed a molecule thathas shown potential as cobra antivenin (AV). This antivenin works by binding to the venom (V), thereby rendering it nontoxic. This reaction can be described by the rate law Rate=k[AV]1[V]1 You have been given the following data from your coworker: [V]0=0.20M[AV]0=1.0104M A plot of ln[AV] versus t(s) gives a straight line with a slope of 0.32 s1.

For protein X, you do not know the extinction coefficient of the substrate to calculate the true concentration. Therefore you are planning to calculate the initial rate of reaction as a change in absorbance per unit of time. After you did the experiment, you found that the the straightest portion of your graph is between 0 minute and 1 minute, and the absorbance changes from 0.865 to 0.132 within one minute. Calculate the initial velocity, which will be expressed as min-1.
