- Sucrose decomposes to fructose and glucose in acid solution. A plot of the concentration of sucrose as a function of time is given in the margin. What is the rate of change of the sucrose concentration over the first 2 hours? What is the rate of change over the last 2 hours? Concentration versus time for the decomposition of sucrose.arrow_forwardThe hydrolysis of the sugar sucrose to the sugars glucose and fructose follows a first-order rate equation for the disappearance of sucrose. C12H22O11(aq)+H2O(l)C6H12O6(aq)+C6H12O6(aq) Rate =k[C12H22O11] In neutral solution, k=2.11011 at 27 C. (As indicated by the rate constant, this is a very slow reaction. In the human body, the rate of this reaction is sped up by a type of catalyst called an enzyme.) (Note: That is not a mistake in the equation—the products of the reaction, glucose and fructose, have the same molecular formulas, C6H12O6, but differ in the arrangement of the atoms in their molecules). The equilibrium constant for the reaction is 1.36105 at 27 C. What are the concentrations of glucose, fructose, and sucrose after a 0.150 M aqueous solution of sucrose has reached equilibrium? Remember that the activity of a solvent (the effective concentration) is 1.arrow_forwardRadioactive gold-198 is used in the diagnosis of liver problems. 198Au decays in a first-order process, emitting a particle (electron). The half-life of this isotope is 2.7 days. You begin with a 5.6-mg sample of the isotope. Calculate how much gold-198 remains after 1.0 day.arrow_forward
- When formic acid is heated, it decomposes to hydrogen and carbon dioxide in a first-order decay: HCOOH(g)CO2(g)+H2(g) The rate of reaction is monitored by measuring the total pressure in the reaction container. Time (s) Pressure (torr) 0 220 50 324 100 379 150 408 200 423 250 431 300 435 Calculate the rate constant and half-life in seconds for the reaction. At the start of the reaction (time = 0), only formic acid is present. (HINT: Find the partial pressure of formic acid using Dalton's law of partial pressure and the reaction stoichiometry to find PHCOOH at each time.)arrow_forwardAt 573 K, gaseous NO2(g) decomposes, forming NO(g) and O2(g). If a vessel containing NO2(g) has an initial concentration of 1.9 102 mol/L, how long will it take for 75% of the NO2(g) to decompose? The decomposition of NO2(g) is second-order in the reactant and the rate constant for this reaction, at 573 K, is 1.1 L/mol s.arrow_forwardWhen enzymes are present at very low concentration, their effect on reaction rate can be described by first-order kinetics. Calculate by what factor the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction changes when the enzyme concentration is changed from 1.5 107 M to 4.5 106 M.arrow_forward
- The half-life of tritium, 3H, is 12.26 years. Tritium is the radioactive isotope of hydrogen. (a) What is the rate constant for the radioactive decay of tritium, in y1 and s1? (b) What percentage of the original tritium is left after 61.3 years?arrow_forwardLabel the elementary processes for the reaction between H2 and O2 see section 20.7 as initiation, propagation, branching, or termination reactions.arrow_forwardMany biochemical reactions are catalyzed by acids. A typical mechanism consistent with the experimental results (in which HA is the acid and X is the reactant) is Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Derive the rate law from this mechanism. Determine the order of reaction with respect to HA. Determine how doubling the concentration of HA would affect the rate of the reaction.arrow_forward
- As with any drug, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) must remain in the bloodstream long enough to be effective. Assume that the removal of aspirin from the bloodstream into the urine is a lirst-order reaction, with a half-life of about 3 hours. The instructions on an aspirin bottle say to take 1 or 2 tablets every 4 hours. If a person takes 2 aspirin tablets, how much aspirin remains in the bloodstream when it is time for the second dose? (A standard tablet contains 325 mg of aspirin.)arrow_forwardConsider the first-order decomposition of phosgene at a certain temperature. COCl2(g)productsIt is found that the concentration of phosgene is 0.0450 M after 300 seconds and 0.0200 M after 500 seconds.
