Question 1

How are the exponents in a rate law determined?

Accepted Answer

The exponents in a rate law cannot be determined from the overall balanced chemical equation; they must be determined experimentally. The rate law is determined by measuring the initial rates of the reaction under various conditions of reactant concentrations and temperature, and comparing the data with the proposed rate law. The exponents in the rate law provide insight into the reaction mechanism and the individual steps involved in the reaction.

Question 2

For the first-order decomposition of N₂O₅ at a high temperature,determine the rate constant if the N₂O₅ concentration decreases from 1.04 M to 0.62 M in 375 seconds.

Accepted Answer

For a first-order reaction, the rate constant k can be calculated using the formula: k = (1/t) * ln([A]₀/[A]), where [A]₀ is the initial concentration, [A] is the final concentration, and t is the time. Substituting the given values: k = (1/375 s) * ln(1.04 M / 0.62 M) = 1.38 × 10⁻³ s⁻¹.

Accepted Answer

For a first-order reaction, a plot of [A] versus time is not linear. However, for a zero-order reaction, this plot is linear, and the slope is equal to the negative of the rate constant.

Question 9

The reaction of NO and O₂ produces NO₂. 2 NO(g)+ O₂(g)$\to$ 2 NO₂(g) The reaction is second-order with respect to NO(g)and first-order with respect to O₂(g).At a given temperature,the rate constant,k,equals 4.7 $\times$ 10² M^-2s^-1.What is the rate of reaction when the initial concentrations of NO and O₂ are 0.025 M and 0.015 M,respectively?

Accepted Answer

The rate law for the reaction is given by:

Rate = k[NO]^2[O2]

Substituting the given values:

Rate = (4.7 x 10^-10 M^-2s^-1) x (0.025 M)^2 x (0.015 M) = 4.4 x 10^-13 M/s = 4.4 x 10^-10 mol/L/s

Therefore, the correct choice is B, 4.4 x 10^-10 M/s.

Question 11

At a given temperature,a first-order reaction has a rate constant of 3.5 $\times$ 10^-3 s^-1.How long will it take for the reaction to be 24% complete?

Accepted Answer

For a first-order reaction, the time $ t $ for a certain percentage completion can be calculated using the formula $ t = \frac{-\ln(1-f)}{k} $, where $ f $ is the fraction completed (0.24 for 24%) and $ k $ is the rate constant. Substituting the given values, $ t = \frac{-\ln(0.76)}{3.5 \times 10^{-3}} \approx 78 $ s.

Question 15

Which of the following statements is correct for the first-order reaction: A $\to$ 2B?

Accepted Answer

For a first-order reaction, the natural logarithm of the concentration of A is expected to decrease linearly with respect to time, according to the following equation: ln[A]t = -kt + ln[A]0. This is known as the integrated rate law for the first-order reaction. Option A is not correct because the concentration of A decreases exponentially, not linearly, with time. Option B is also not correct because the concentration of A changes with time. Option D is partially correct, but the rate of reaction decreases with time rather than being constant. Option E is not correct because the rate constant may be constant or change with time depending on the specific reaction conditions.
