- use the kineticmolecular theory to explain why an increase in temperature increases reaction rate.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_forwardThe reaction to prepare methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen CO(g)+H2(g)CH3OH(g) is exothermic. If you wanted to use this reaction to produce methanol commercially, would high or low temperatures favor a maximum yield? Explain.arrow_forward
- Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?arrow_forwardIn Chapter 3, we discussed the conversion of biomass into biofuels. One important area of research associated with biofuels is the identification and development of suitable catalysts to increase the rate at which fuels can be produced. Do a web search to find an article describing biofuel catalysts. Then, write one or two sentences describing the reactions being catalyzed, and identify the catalyst as homogeneous or heterogeneous.arrow_forwardConsider the hypothetical reaction A+B+2C2D+3E In a study of this reaction three experiments were run at the same temperature. The rate is defined as [B]/t. Experiment 1: [A]0 = 2.0 M [B]0 = 1.0 103 M [C]0 = 1.0 M [B] (mol/L) Time(s) 2.7 104 1.0 105 1.6 104 2.0 105 1.1 104 3.0 105 8.5 105 4.0 105 6.9 105 5.0 105 5.8 105 6.0 105 Experiment 2: [A]0 = 1.0 102M [B]0 = 3.0 M [C]0 = 1.0 M [A] (mol/L) Time(s) 8.9 103 1.0 7.1 103 3.0 5.5 103 5.0 3.8 103 8.0 2.9 103 10.0 2.0 103 13.0 Experiment 3: [A]0 = 10.0 M [B]0 = 5.0 M [C]0 = 5.0 101M [C] (mol/L) Time(s) 0.43 1.0 102 0.36 2.0 102 0.29 3.0 102 0.22 4.0 102 0.15 5.0 102 0.08 6.0 102 Write the rate law for this reaction, and calculate the value of the rate constant.arrow_forward
- A reaction is started by mixing reactants. As time passes, the rate decreases. Explain this behavior that is characteristic of most reactions.arrow_forwardFor the gas-phase reaction 2H2+O22H2O rxnG is 457.18kJ. What does a graph of G versus lnQ lnQ varying from 50 to +50 look like at 25C? Change the temperature and find out if the graph looks substantially different at different temperatures.arrow_forwardThe reaction for the Haber process, the industrial production of ammonia, is N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) Assume that under certain laboratory conditions ammonia is produced at the rate of 6.29 ×10-5 molL-1s-1. At what rate is nitrogen consumed? At what rate is hydrogen consumed?arrow_forward
