Chapter 14, Problem 118E
The rate of decomposition of N2O3(g) to NO2(g) and NO(g) is monitored by measuring [NO2]at different times. The following tabulated data are obtained.
[NO2](mol/L) | 0 | 0.193 | 0.316 | 0.427 | 0.784 |
t(s) | 0 | 884 | 1610 | 2460 | 50,000 |
The reaction follows a first-order rate law. Calculate the rate constant. Assume that after 50,000 s all the N2O3(g) had decomposed.

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_forwardIsomerization of CH3NC occurs slowly when CH3NC is heated. CH3NC(g) CH3CN(g) To study the rate of this reaction at 488 K, data on [CH3NC] were collected at various times. Analysis led to the following graph. (a) What is the rate law for this reaction? (b) What is the equation for the straight line in this graph? (c) Calculate the rate constant for this reaction. (d) How long does it take for half of the sample to isomerize?

Using the above data, deduce the rate law, the integrated rate law, and the value of the rate constant, all in terms of pressure units in atm and time in seconds. Predict the pressure of C2H5OH after 900. s from the start of the reaction. (Hint: To determine the order of the reaction with respect to C2H5OH, compare how the pressure of C2H5OH decreases with each time listing.)arrow_forward
- 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?
