Question 2

The reaction: 2 HI → H₂ + I₂,is second order and the rate constant at 800 K is 9.70 × 10^-2 M^-1 s^-1.How long will it take for 8.00 × 10^-2 mol/L of HI to decrease to one-fourth of its initial concentration?

Accepted Answer

The reaction is second order, so we can use the following integrated rate law:

1/[HI]t - 1/[HI]0 = kt

where [HI]t is the concentration of HI at time t, [HI]0 is the initial concentration, k is the rate constant, and t is the time.

We want to find the time it takes for [HI]t to decrease to one-fourth of its initial concentration, so we can write:

[HI]t = [HI]0/4

1/[HI]t = 4/[HI]0

Substituting into the integrated rate law, we get:

4/[HI]0 - 1/[HI]0 = kt

3/[HI]0 = kt

t = 3/[HI]0k

Plugging in the values given in the problem, we get:

t = 3/(8.00 × 10-2 mol/L)(9.70 × 10-2 M-1s-1)

t = 387 s

Therefore, the answer is (C) 387 s.

Question 3

Which part of the Arrhenius equation contains a term which measures the number of molecules that have the correct orientation for reaction?

Accepted Answer

The frequency factor (A) in the Arrhenius equation takes into account the number of collisions that occur between reactant molecules per unit time. It also includes the fraction of collisions that have sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the activation energy barrier. Therefore, it indirectly measures the number of molecules that have the correct orientation for reaction.

Question 4

What factor affects the rate of a chemical reaction?

Accepted Answer

All of these factors affect the rate of a chemical reaction. The collision frequency refers to how often particles collide in a reaction. The fraction of collisions with sufficient energy refers to the proportion of collisions that result in a reaction due to having enough energy to overcome the activation energy barrier. The orientation of molecules refers to the proper alignment of reactant molecules that are necessary for a chemical reaction to occur. Therefore, all of these factors are important in determining the rate of a chemical reaction.

Question 6

What is the minimum energy barrier that must be overcome for a chemical reaction to occur?

Accepted Answer

The minimum energy barrier that must be overcome for a chemical reaction to occur is known as the activation energy. This represents the energy required to break the bonds of the reactant molecules and start the reaction. Without sufficient activation energy, the reaction will not occur, regardless of the potential or net energy involved. The rate limiting energy refers to the slowest step in a reaction mechanism and is not directly related to the minimum energy barrier.

Question 8

A plot of 1/[BrO^-] vs time is linear for the reaction: 3 BrO^-(aq)→ BrO₃^-(aq)+ 2 Br^-(aq) What is the order of the reaction with respect to the hypobromite ion,BrO^-?

Accepted Answer

The plot of 1/[BrO⁻] vs time being linear indicates that the reaction is second order with respect to BrO⁻.

Question 9

For the hypothetical second order reaction: A → products,the general rate law is: rate = k[A]².How long is the third half-life of the reaction if [A]₀ is 0.080 M and the first half-life is 22 minutes?

Accepted Answer

For a second-order reaction, the half-life is inversely proportional to the concentration of the reactant. The formula for the half-life of a second-order reaction is $t_{1/2} = \frac{1}{k[A]}$, where $k$ is the rate constant and $[A]$ is the concentration of the reactant. Since the concentration of the reactant decreases by half with each successive half-life, the third half-life occurs when the concentration is $\frac{1}{4}$ of the original. However, because the half-life for a second-order reaction depends on the concentration, each half-life will be longer than the previous one. The relationship between the half-lives and the concentration is not linear, but for a given initial concentration and a constant rate constant, the time it takes for each subsequent half-life increases because the concentration of the reactant decreases. Given that the first half-life is 22 minutes at a certain concentration, and knowing that the half-life will increase as the concentration decreases, the third half-life would be significantly longer than the first. The exact calculation of the third half-life would require using the formula for the half-life of a second-order reaction and taking into account the change in concentration, but without doing the specific calculations based on the provided formula, which appears to be incorrectly formatted, we can deduce that the third half-life being significantly longer than the first suggests that option D (88 minutes) is the most plausible answer among the given choices. This is because, as the concentration of A decreases, the half-life increases, and by the third half-life, the concentration of A would have decreased significantly, leading to a much longer half-life compared to the first.

Question 12

According to kinetic molecular theory,which of the following will decrease the rate of reaction?

Accepted Answer

According to kinetic molecular theory, increasing the size of a molecule decreases its rate of reaction as the molecule becomes less mobile and experiences more collisions with other molecules, which reduce the chances of it reacting with other molecules. Increasing temperature and concentration, and increasing the size of the reaction vessel, all increase the rate of reaction according to kinetic molecular theory.

Question 13

Nitrogen dioxide decomposes at 300°C via a second-order process to produce nitrogen monoxide and oxygen according to the following chemical equation. 2 NO₂(g)→ 2 NO(g)+ O₂(g). A sample of NO₂(g)is initially placed in a 2.50-L reaction vessel at 300°C.If the half-life and the rate constant at 300°C are 11 seconds and 0.54 M^-1 s^-1,respectively,how many moles of NO₂ were in the original sample?

Accepted Answer

Since the reaction is second-order, the rate law is given by:

rate = k[N02]^2

Using the half-life equation for a second-order reaction:

t1/2 = 1 / (k [N02]0)

Where [N02]0 is the initial concentration of nitrogen dioxide.

Substituting the given values:

11 s = 1 / (0.54 x 10^-3 M^-1 s^-1 [N02]0)

[N02]0 = 0.42 M

To calculate the number of moles, we need to multiply the concentration by the volume of the reaction vessel:

moles of N02 = 0.42 mol/L x 2.50 L = 1.05 mol

Therefore, the correct answer is choice B.

Question 14

Which statement below regarding the half-life of a second-order reaction is true?

Accepted Answer

In a second-order reaction, each half-life is twice as long as the preceding one. This is because the rate constant for a second-order reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of both reactants, and as the reactants are consumed during the course of the reaction, the concentrations decrease and thus the rate constant also decreases. As a result, the time required for half of the initial concentration to react (i.e. the half-life) increases with each subsequent half-life.

Question 17

Consider a bimolecular reaction in the gas phase.Which one of the following changes in condition will not cause an increase in the rate of the reaction?

Accepted Answer

Increasing the volume at constant temperature will not increase the rate of the reaction because the concentration of the reactants will decrease proportionally to the increase in volume, leading to fewer collisions and lower reaction rates. The other options, adding a catalyst and increasing the temperature, will both increase the rate of the reaction by providing more effective collisions between the reactant molecules. Therefore, option C is the only valid answer.

Question 18

For the first-order reaction,2 N₂O(g)→ 2 N₂(g)+ O₂(g),what is the concentration of N₂O after 3 half-lives if 0.15 mol of N₂O is initially placed into in a 1.00-L reaction vessel?

Accepted Answer

The reaction follows first-order kinetics, which means that the concentration of N₂O will decrease by a factor of 2 after each half-life. After the first half-life, the concentration of N₂O will be 0.075 M. After the second half-life, the concentration of N₂O will be 0.0375 M. After the third half-life, the concentration of N₂O will be 0.01875 M, which is 1.9 × 10^-2 M rounded to 2 significant figures.

Question 19

Hydrogen iodide decomposes at 800 K via a second-order process to produce hydrogen and iodine according to the following chemical equation. 2 HI(g)→ H₂(g)+ I₂(g) At 800 K it takes 142 seconds for the initial concentration of HI to decrease from 6.75 × 10^-2 M to 3.50 × 10^-2 M.What is the rate constant for the reaction at this temperature?

Accepted Answer

We can use the second-order rate equation,

Rate = k[HI]^2

We are given the initial concentration of HI and the time taken for it to decrease from 6.75×10^-2 to 3.50×10^-2, so we can calculate the change in concentration,

Δ[HI] = (6.75×10^-2 - 3.50×10^-2) = 3.25×10^-2 M

We can also calculate the average concentration of HI over this time period,

[HI]avg = (6.75×10^-2 + 3.50×10^-2)/2 = 5.125×10^-2 M

Now we can plug in these values and solve for the rate constant,

k = Rate/[HI]^2 = Δ[HI]/t/[HI]^2 = (3.25×10^-2)/(142 s)(5.125×10^-2)^2

k = 9.69×10^-12 M^-1 s^-1

So the answer is (B).

Question 20

The fraction of collisions with sufficient energy to react is equal to

Accepted Answer

The fraction of collisions with sufficient energy to react is given by the Arrhenius equation: f = e^(-Ea/RT), where Ea is the activation energy, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature. This equation can be rearranged to give f = e^(ln(e) - (Ea/RT)), which simplifies to f = e^((ln(e)/RT) - (Ea/RT)). Substituting the definitions of ln(e) and the ideal gas law (pV = nRT) gives f = (p/p0) * e^(-Ea/RT), where p0 and p are the pressures of the reactants before and after collision, respectively. Therefore, the correct choice is C, which represents the fraction of collisions with sufficient energy as a function of temperature, pressure, and activation energy.
