Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 27E
The addition of No accelerates the decomposition of N2O, possibly by the following mechanism:
NO (g) + N2O (g) →N2 (g) + NO2 (g)
2NO2 (g) → 2NO (g) +O2 (g)
- What is the chemical equation for the overall reaction? Show how the two steps can be added to give the overall equation. (b) Is NO serving as a catalyst or an intermediate in this reaction? (c) If experiments shows that during the decomposition of N2O, NO2 does not accumulate in measurable quantities, does this rule out the proposed mechanism?

- . Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.arrow_forward(Section 11-5) A rule of thumb is that for a typical reaction, if concentrations are unchanged, a 10-K rise in temperature increases the reaction rate by two to four times. Use an average increase of three times to answer the questions below. (a) What is the approximate activation energy of a typical chemical reaction at 298 K? (b) If a catalyst increases a chemical reactions rate by providing a mechanism that has a lower activation energy, then what change do you expect a 10-K increase in temperature to make in the rate of a reaction whose uncatalyzed activation energy of 75 kJ/mol has been lowered to one half this value (at 298 K) by addition of a catalyst?arrow_forwardAccount for the relationship between the rate of a reaction and its activation energy.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardBacteria cause milk to go sour by generating lactic acid. Devise an experiment that could measure the activation energy for the production of lactic acid by bacteria in milk. Describe how your experiment will provide the information you need to determine this value. What assumptions must be made about this reaction?arrow_forwardConsider a reaction in which E a=129 kJ and H=29 kJ. In the presence of a catalyst, the activation energy is 48% of the uncatalyzed reaction. Follow the directions in Question 71 in drawing an energy diagram.arrow_forward
- Consider the hypothetical reaction A2(g) + B2(g) 2AB(g), where the rate law is: [A2]t=k[A2][B2] The value of the rate constant at 302C is 2.45 104 L/mol s, and at 508C the rate constant is 0.891 L/mol s. What is the activation energy for this reaction? What is the value of the rate constant for this reaction at 375C?arrow_forwardGive at least two physical properties that might be used to determine the rate of a reaction.arrow_forward
