Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7E.1AST
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The activation energy of the new pathway taken by reaction in presence of catalyst has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Activation energy refers to that energy that must be gained by reactant to pass the reaction’s energy barrier. Any catalyst works to make a reaction more feasible. This is done by reducing the reaction’s activation energy. In order to do so, it makes the reaction go through a new pathway that has reduced activation energy.

- (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_forwardHydrogen iodide, HI, decomposes in the gas phase to produce hydrogen, H2, and iodine, I2.

- 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 Raschig reaction produces the industrially important reducing agent hydrazine, N2H4, from ammonia, NH3, and hypochlorite ion, OCl−, in basic aqueous solution.
