(a)
Interpretation:
It should be determined that how increasing the experimental activation energy affects the rate constant for a reaction.
Concept introduction:
- Arrhenius equation used to find the rate constant by showing the fraction of collisions with effective orientation and represents the fraction of collisions with sufficient energy to produce a reaction. Also this reaction gives the quantitative relation of temperature with the rate constant of reaction.
k is the rate constant, A is the frequency factor,
R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

- Consider the general reaction aA+bBcC and the following average rate data over some time period t: At=0.0080mol/LsBt=0.0120mol/LsCt=0.0160mol/Ls Determine a set of possible coefficients to balance this general reaction.arrow_forward. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.arrow_forwardExplain how a species might be part of a rate law but not part of a balanced chemical reaction.arrow_forward
- Explain what is meant by the average rate of a reaction.arrow_forwarduse the kineticmolecular theory to explain why an increase in temperature increases reaction rate.arrow_forwardFor the reaction of crystal violet with NaOH(aq), the measured rate of reaction is 1.27 106 mol L1 s1 when the concentration of crystal violet cation is 4.13 105 mol/L. (a) Estimate how long it will take for the concentration of crystal violet to drop from 4.30 105 mol/L to 3.96 105 mol/L. (b) Could you use the same method to make an accurate estimate of how long it would take for the concentration of crystal violet to drop from 4.30 105 mol/L to 0.43 105 mol/L? Explain why or why not.arrow_forward
- Define these terms: (a) unimolecular reaction (b) bimolecular reaction (c) elementary reaction (d) overall reactionarrow_forwardThe rate law for a reaction can be determined only from experiment and not from the balanced equation. Two experimental procedures were outlined in Chapter 12. What are these two procedures? Explain how each method is used to determine rate laws.arrow_forward
