- Why awe elementary reactions involving three or more reactants very uncommon?arrow_forwardOne of the concerns about the use of Freons is that they will migrate to the upper atmosphere, where chlorine atoms can be generated by the following reaction: CCl2F2(g)Freon-12hvCF2Cl(g)+Cl(g) Chlorine atoms can act as a catalyst for the destruction of ozone. The activation energy for the reaction Cl(g) + O3(g) ClO(g) + O2(g) Is 2.1 kJ/mol. Which is the more effective catalyst for the destruction of ozone, Cl or NO? (See Exercise 75.)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
- The following statements relate to the reaction for the formation of HI: H2(g) + I2(g) -* 2 HI(g) Rate = it[HJ [I2J Determine which of the following statements are true. If a statement is false, indicate why it is incorrect. The reaction must occur in a single step. This is a second-order reaction overall. Raising the temperature will cause the value of k to decrease. Raising the temperature lowers the activation energy' for this reaction. If the concentrations of both reactants are doubled, the rate will double. Adding a catalyst in the reaction will cause the initial rate to increase.arrow_forwardThe activation energy for the reaction NO2(g)+CO(g)NO(g)+CO2(g) is 125 kJ/mol, and E for the reaction is 216 kJ/mol. What is the activation energy for the reverse reaction [NO(g) + CO2(g) + NO2(g) + CO(g)]?arrow_forwardFor the decomposition of one mole of nitrosyl chloride, H = 38 kJ.

- Sketch a potential-energy diagram for the reaction of nitric oxide with ozone. NO(g)+O3(g)NO2(g)+O2(g) The activation energy for the forward reaction is 10 kJ; the H is 200 kJ. What is the activation energy for the reverse reaction? Label your diagram appropriately.arrow_forwardConsider 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_forwardThe rate of a certain reaction doubles for every 10 C rise in temperature.
