- The decomposition of iodoethane in the gas phase proceeds according to the following equation: C2H5I(g)C2H4(g)+HI(g) At 660. K, k = 7.2 104 sl; at 720. K, k = 1.7 102 sl. What is the value of the rate constant for this first-order decomposition at 325C? If the initial pressure of iodoethane is 894 torr at 245C, what is the pressure of iodoethane after three half-lives?arrow_forwardThe 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. What role does MnO2 play? In the chemistry lab, a student substituted a chunk of MnO2 for the powdered compound. The reaction rate was not appreciably increased. WTiat is one possible explanation for this observation? Is MnO2 part of the stoichiometry of the decomposition of H2O2?arrow_forwardSucrose, a sugar, decomposes in acid solution to give glucose and fructose. The reaction is first-order in sucrose, and the rate constant at 25 C is k = 0.21 h1. If the initial concentration of sucrose is 0.010 mol/L, what is its concentration after 5.0 h?arrow_forward
