Concept Introduction: The effective collisions are those which leads to the formation of a product that is a chemical reaction takes place. In order to achieve these collisions, the minimum amount of energy is required which is termed as activation energy.
Interpretation:Whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic should be determined.
Concept Introduction: Endothermic and exothermic processes are defined on the basis of energy involved. The addition of energy is endothermic whereas loss of energy is exothermic.

- The following equation represents a reversible decomposition: CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) Under what conditions will decomposition in a closed container proceed to completion so that no CaCO3 remains?arrow_forwardxplain why aluminum cans make good storage containers for soft drinks. Styrofoam cups can be used to keep coffee hot and cola cold. How can this be?arrow_forwardClassify the following processes according to their rates as very slow, slow, or fast: a.The souring of milk stored in a refrigerator b.The cooking of an egg in boiling water c.The rusting of a shovel left in the garden over the winter d.The growing of corn during a warm summer e.The burning of a lighted match.arrow_forward
- Determine rxnH 25 C for the following reaction: NO g O2 g NO2 g This reaction is a major participant in the formation of smog.arrow_forwardConsider the following energy plots for a chemical reaction when answering the questions below. a. Which plot (purple or blue) is the catalyzed pathway? How do you know? b. What does E1 represent? c. What does E2 represent? d. Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forwardSilicon forms a series of compounds analogous to the al-kanes and having the general formula SinH2n+2. The first of these compounds is silane, SiH4, which is used in the electronics industry to produce thin ultrapure silicon films. SiH4(g) is somewhat difficult to work with because it is py-ropboric at room temperature—meaning that it bursts into flame spontaneously when exposed to air. (a) Write an equation for the combustion of SiH4(g). (The reaction is analogous to hydrocarbon combustion, and SiO2 is a solid under standard conditions. Assume the water produced will be a gas.) (b) Use the data from Appendix E to calculate ? for this reaction. (c) Calculate G and show that the reaction is spontaneous at 25°C. (d) Compare G for this reaction to the combustion of methane. (See the previous problem.) Are the reactions in these two exercises enthalpy or entropy driven? Explain.arrow_forward

Energy is stored in the body in adenosine triphosphate, ATP, which is formed by reaction between adenosine diphosphate, ADP, and dihydrogen phosphate ions. ADP3-(aq) + H2PO42-(aq) -----> ATP4-(aq) + H2O (l) ΔH° = 38 kJ Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forwardWhat is the mechanism and role of a catalytic converter in the reduction of harmful emissions from automotive exhaust gases?arrow_forward
- Old-fashioned "smelling salts" consist of ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3. The reaction for the decomposition of ammonium carbonate (NH4)2CO3(s) ⇌ 2NH3(g) + CO2(g) + H2O(g) is endothermic. Would the smell of ammonia increase or decrease as the temperature is increased?arrow_forwardIodide, I–, is a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to give water and oxygen gas: 2 H2O2 (aq) –––> 2 H2O (aq) + O2 (g); ∆Hrxn = –188 kJ/mol Draw a qualitatively accurate reaction diagram (with energy on the y axis, extent of reaction on x axis) to which shows how the path from reactants to products differs between the catalyzed and uncatalyzed versions of the reaction. Label Eain both of the curves. In a few words, define what is meant by “Ea”.arrow_forwardIn Chem 113, we saw that the heat associated with a chemical reaction could be determined in one step, or as the sum of two steps, as long as the two steps resulted in the same overall reaction. (Hess' Law). Consider a reaction which occurs in the two steps shown below. What is the overall reaction that these two steps are equivalent to? Step 1: H2O2(aq) + I-1(aq) --> H2O + OI-1(aq) Step 2: H2O2(aq) + OI-1(aq) --> H2O + O2(g) + I-1(aq) a. 2 H2O2(aq) + 2 OI-1(aq) --> 2 H2(g) + 3 O2(g) + 2 I-1(aq) b. 2 H2O2(aq) --> 2 H2O + O2(g) c.
