- Consider the following statements: In general, the rate of a chemical reaction increases a bit at first because it takes a while for the reaction to get warmed up. After that, however, the rate of the reaction decreases because its rate is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and these are decreasing. Indicate everything that is correct in these statements, and indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect statements and explain.arrow_forward. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.arrow_forwardConsider the reaction of ozone and nitrogen monoxide to form nitrogen dioxide and oxygen. O3(g) + NO(g) NO2(g) + O2(g) Which of the following orientations for the collision between ozone and nitrogen monoxide could perhaps lead to an effective collision between the molecules? (a) (b) (c) (d)arrow_forward
- In Chapter 3, we discussed the conversion of biomass into biofuels. One important area of research associated with biofuels is the identification and development of suitable catalysts to increase the rate at which fuels can be produced. Do a web search to find an article describing biofuel catalysts. Then, write one or two sentences describing the reactions being catalyzed, and identify the catalyst as homogeneous or heterogeneous.arrow_forwardThe ozone in the Earths ozone layer decomposes according to the equation 2 O3(g) 3 O2(g) The mechanism of the reaction is thought to proceed through an initial fast equilibrium and a slow step: Show that the mechanism agrees with this experimental rate law: Rate = (1/2)[O3]/t = k[O3]2[O2].arrow_forwardFor the following reaction profile, indicate a. the positions of reactants and products. b. the activation energy. c. E for the reaction.arrow_forward
