Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 11.80PAE
The label on a bottle of 3% (by volume) hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, purchased at a grocery store, states that the solution should be stored in a cool, dark place. H2O2decomposes slowly over time, and the rate of decomposition increases with an increase in temperature and in the presence of light. However, the rate of decomposition increases dramatically if a small amount of powdered MnO- is added to the solution. The decomposition products are H2O and O2. MnO2 is not consumed in the reaction.
- Write the equation for the decomposition of H2O2.

- Which reaction mechanism assumptions are unimportant in describing simple ionic reactions between cations and anions? Why?arrow_forwardSome bacteria are resistant to the antibiotic penicillin because they produce penicillinase, an enzyme with a molecular weight of 3104 g/mol that converts penicillin into inactive molecules. Although the kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions can be complex, at low concentrations this reaction can be described by a rate equation that is first order in the catalyst (penicillinase) and that also involves the concentration of penicillin. From the following data: 1.0 L of a solution containing 0.15 g ( 0.15106 g) of penicillinase, determine the order of the reaction with respect to penicillin and the value of the rate constant. [Penicillin] (M) Rate (mol/L/min) 2.0106 1.01010 3.0106 1.51010 4.0106 2.01010arrow_forwardRegular ?ights of supersonic aircraft in the stratosphere ale of concern because such aircraft produce nitric oxide, NO, as a byproduct in the exhaust of their engines. Nitric oxide reacts with ozone, and it has been suggested that this could contribute to depletion of the ozone layer. The reaction NO+O3NO2+O2 is first order with respect to both NO and O3 with a rate constant of 2.20107 L/mol/s. What is the instantaneous rate of disappearance of NO when [NO]=3.3106 M and [O3]=5.9107M?arrow_forward
- Define stability from both a kinetic and thermodynamic perspective. Give examples to show the differences in these concepts.arrow_forwardThe hydrolysis of the sugar sucrose to the sugars glucose and fructose, C12H22O11+H2OC6H12O6+C6H12O6 follows a first-order rate equation for the disappearance of sucrose: Rate =k[C12H22O11] (The products of the reaction, glucose and fructose, have the same molecular formulas but differ in the arrangement of the atoms in their molecules.) (a) In neutral solution, k=2.11011s1 at 27 C and 8.51011s1 at 37 C. Determine the activation energy, the frequency factor, and the rate constant for this equation at 47 C (assuming the kinetics remain consistent with the Arrhenius equation at this temperature). (b) When a solution of sucrose with an initial concentration of 0.150 M reaches equilibrium, the concentration of sucrose is 1.65107M . How long will it take the solution to reach equilibrium at 27 C in the absence of a catalyst? Because the concentration of sucrose at equilibrium is so low, assume that the reaction is irreversible. (c) Why does assuming that the reaction is irreversible simplify the calculation in pan (b)?arrow_forwardSubstances 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?arrow_forward

(b) Write the rate expression for the reaction. (c) Calculate k for the reaction. (d) When [ BF3 ]=0.533M and NH3=0.300M, what is the rate of the reaction at the temperature of the experiment?arrow_forwardThe 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.
