- The following statements relate to the reaction for the formation of HI: H2(g) + I2(g) -* 2 HI(g) Rate = it[HJ [I2J Determine which of the following statements are true. If a statement is false, indicate why it is incorrect. The reaction must occur in a single step. This is a second-order reaction overall. Raising the temperature will cause the value of k to decrease. Raising the temperature lowers the activation energy' for this reaction. If the concentrations of both reactants are doubled, the rate will double. Adding a catalyst in the reaction will cause the initial rate to increase.arrow_forward11.32 The following experimental data were obtained for the reaction 2A + 3 B—C + 2D [A](mol L 1) [B](mol L ’) Rate = A(C]/Af (mol L-1 s-1) 0.127 0.15 0.033 0.127 0.30 0.132 0.255 0.15 0.066 Determine the reaction order for each reactant and the value of the rate constant.arrow_forwardNitryl fluoride is an explosive compound that can be made by oxidizing nitrogen dioxide with fluorine: 2 NO2(g) + F2(g) → 2 NO2F(g) Several kinetics experiments, all done at the same temperature and involving formation of nitryl fluoride, are summarized in this table: Write the rate law for the reaction.

One thing you know before performing the experiments is that the reaction is zero order, first order, or second order with respect to A. Your friend goes off, runs the experiment, and brings back the following graph. a After studying the curve of the graph, she declares that the reaction is second order, with a corresponding rate law of Rate = k[A]2. Judging solely on the basis of the information presented in this plot, is she correct in her statement that the reaction must be second order? Here are some data collected from her experiment: Time (s) [A] 0.0 1.0 1.0 0.14 3.0 2.5 103 5.0 4.5 105 7.0 8.3 107 b The half-life of the reaction is 0.35 s. Do these data support the reaction being second order, or is it something else? Try to reach a conclusive answer without graphing the data. c What is the rate constant for the reaction? d The mechanism for this reaction is found to be a two-step process, with intermediates X and Y. The first step of the reaction is the rate-determining step.
