Chapter 11, Problem 35QRT
The compound p-methoxybenzonitrile N-oxide, which has the formula CH3OC6H4CNO, reacts with itself to form a dimer—a molecule that consists of two p-methoxybenzonitrile N-oxide units connected to each other (CH3OC6H4CNO)2. The reaction can be represented as
A + A → B or 2 A → B
where A represents p-methoxybenzonitrile N-oxide and B represents the dimer, (CH3OC6H4CNO)2. For the reaction in carbon tetrachloride at 40 °C with an initial concentration of 0.011 M, these data were obtained:
- (a) Determine the rate law for the reaction.
- (b) Determine the rate constant.
- (c) Determine the order of the reaction with respect to A.

- Some 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.
