- Which of the reactions in Question 62 would (a) occur fastest? (b) occur slowest? (Assume equal temperatures, equal concentrations, equal frequency factors, and the same rate law for all reactions.)arrow_forwardRank the following in order of increasing reaction rate. (a) Dynamite exploding (b) Iron rusting (c) Paper burningarrow_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_forward
- A proposed mechanism for the reaction of NO2 and CO is Step 1: Slow, endothermic 2 NO2(g) NO(g) + NO3(g) Step 2: Fast, exothermic NO3(g) + CO(g) NO2(g) + CO2(g) Overall Reaction: Exothermic NO2(g) + CO(g) NO(g) + CO2(g) (a) Identify each of the following as a reactant, product, or intermediate: NO2(g), CO(g), NO3(g), CO2(g), NO(g). (b) Draw a reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Indicate on this drawing the activation energy for each step and the overall enthalpy change.arrow_forwardWrite the rate equation for each of the following elementary reactions: (a) O3sunlightO2+O (b) O3+CIO2+CIO (c) CIO+OCI+O2 (d) O3+NONO2+O2 (e) NO2+ONO+O2arrow_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
