- Explain why half-lives are not normally used to describe reactions other than first order.arrow_forwardConsider the first-order decomposition of phosgene at a certain temperature. COCl2(g)productsIt is found that the concentration of phosgene is 0.0450 M after 300 seconds and 0.0200 M after 500 seconds. Calculate the following: (a) the rate constant at the temperature of the decomposition (b) the half-life of the decomposition (c) the intial concentration of phosgenearrow_forwardThe decomposition of hydrogen iodide on finely divided gold at 150C is zero order with respect to HI. The rate defined below is constant at 1.20 104 mol/L s. 2HI(g)AuH2(g)+I2(g)Rate=[HI]t=k=1.20104mol/Ls a. If the initial HI concentration was 0.250 mol/L, calculate the concentration of HI at 25 minutes after the start of the reaction. b. How long will it take for all of the 0.250 M HI to decompose?arrow_forward
- Sucrose, a sugar, decomposes in acid solution to give glucose and fructose. The reaction is first-order in sucrose, and the rate constant at 25 C is k = 0.21 h1. If the initial concentration of sucrose is 0.010 mol/L, what is its concentration after 5.0 h?arrow_forwardThe first-order rate constant for the decomposition of a certain hormone in water at 25C is 3.42104day1. (a) If a 0.0200 M solution of the hormone is stored at 25C for two months, what will its concentration be at the end of that period? (b) How long will it take for the concentration of the solution to drop from 0.0200 M to 0.00350 M? (c) What is the half-life of the hormone?arrow_forwardA substance undergoes first-order decomposition. After 40.0 min at 500°C, only 12.5% of the original sample remains. YYliat is the half-life of the decomposition? If the original sample weighed 243 g, how much would remain after 2.00 h?arrow_forward
- For the reaction 5Br(aq)+BrO3(aq)+6 H+(aq)3Br2(aq)+3H2O It was found that at a particular instant, bromine was being formed at the rate of 0.029 mol/L s. At that instant, at what rate (a) are the hydrogen ions being consumed? (b) is water being formed? (c) are the bromide ions being consumed?arrow_forwardThe decomposition of sulfuryl chloride, SO2Cl2, to sulfur dioxide and chlorine gases is a first-order reaction. SO2Cl2(g)SO2(g)+Cl2(g)At a certain temperature, the half-life of SO2Cl2 is 7.5102 min. Consider a sealed flask with 122.0 g of SO2Cl2. (a) How long will it take to reduce the amount of SO2Cl2 in the sealed flask to 45.0 g? (b) If the decomposition is stopped after 29.0 h, what volume of Cl2 at 27C and 1.00 atm is produced?arrow_forwardIf the activation energy of a reaction is 9.13 kJ, then what is the percent increase in the rate constant when the temperature is increased from 27C to 69C?arrow_forward
- Label the elementary processes for the reaction between H2 and O2 see section 20.7 as initiation, propagation, branching, or termination reactions.arrow_forwardChlorine dioxide oxidizes iodide ion in aqueous solution to iodine; chlorine dioxide is reduced to chlorite ion. 2ClO2(aq)+2I(aq)2ClO2(aq)+I2(aq) The order of the reaction with respect to ClO2 was determined by starting with a large excess of I, so that its concentration was essentially constant. Then Rate=k[ClO2]m[I]n=k[ClO2]m where k= k[I]n. Determine the order with respect to ClO2 and the rate constant k by plotting the following data assuming first- and then second-order kinetics.
