- 11.17 Ammonia can react with oxygen to produce nitric oxide and water: 4NH3(g)+5O2(g)4NO(g)+6H2O(g) If the rate at which ammonia is consumed in a laboratory experiment is 4.23 ×10-4 mol L_1s_l, at what rate is oxygen consumed? At what rate is NO produced? At what rate is water vapor produced?arrow_forwardBased on the kinetic theory of matter, what would the action of a catalyst do to a reaction that is the reverse of some reaction that we say is catalyzed?arrow_forwardThe enzyme carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the transformation of carbon dioxide into hydrogen carbonate ions. This reaction was studied by H. DeVoe and G. B. Kistiakowsky (Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 83, p. 274, 1961) and found to obey the Michaelis-Menten model. Use the data below at a given temperature to calculate the maximum rate of the reaction. Ratemax. See Question 45 for the graphical method to use.arrow_forward
- Gaseous NO2 decomposes at 573 K. NO2(g) NO(g) + O2(g) The concentration of NO2 was measured as a function of time. A graph of 1/[NO2] versus time gives a straight line with a slope of 1.1 L/mol s. What is the rate law for this reaction? What is the rate constant?arrow_forwardAt 500 K in the presence of a copper surface, ethanol decomposes according to the equation C2H5OH(g)CH3CHO(g)+H2(g) The pressure of C2H5OH was measured as a function of time and the following data were obtained: Time(s) PC2H5OH(torr) 0 250. 100. 237 200. 224 300. 211 400. 198 500. 185 Since the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the concentration of gas, we can express the rate law for a gaseous reaction in terms of partial pressures. Using the above data, deduce the rate law, the integrated rate law, and the value of the rate constant, all in terms of pressure units in atm and time in seconds. Predict the pressure of C2H5OH after 900. s from the start of the reaction. (Hint: To determine the order of the reaction with respect to C2H5OH, compare how the pressure of C2H5OH decreases with each time listing.)arrow_forwardIodomethane (CH3I) is a commonly used reagent in organic chemistry. When used properly, this reagent allows chemists to introduce methyl groups in many different useful applications. The chemical does pose a risk as a carcinogen, possibly owing to iodomethanes ability to react with portions of the DNA strand (if they were to come in contact). Consider the following hypothetical initial rates data: [DNA]0 ( mol/L) [CH3I]0 ( mol/L) Initial Rate (mol/Ls) 0.100 0.100 3.20 104 0.100 0.200 6.40 104 0.200 0.200 1.28 103 Which of the following could be a possible mechanism to explain the initial rate data?
