The reaction 2 NO(g) + O2(g) → 2 NO2 (g) is second order in NO and first order in O2. When [NO] = 0.040 M, and 3O24 = 0.035 M, the observed rate of disappearance of NO is 9.3⨉10-5 M/s. (b) What is the value of the rate constant?

The activation energy of an uncatalyzed reaction is 95 kJ/mol. The addition of a catalyst lowers the activation energy to 55 kJ/mol. Assuming that the collision factor remains the same, by what factor will the catalyst increase the rate of the reaction at (b) 125 °C?
Consider the reaction A + B → C + D. Is each of the following statements true or false? (b) If the reaction is an elementary reaction, the rate law is second order.
Consider the reaction A + B → C + D. Is each of the following statements true or false? (c) If the reaction is an elementary reaction, the rate law of the reverse reaction is first order.
The reaction 2 NO(g) + O2(g) → 2 NO2 (g) is second order in NO and first order in O2. When [NO] = 0.040 M, and 3O24 = 0.035 M, the observed rate of disappearance of NO is 9.3⨉10-5 M/s. (c) What are the units of the rate constant?
Consider the following reaction between mercury(II) chloride and oxalate ion: 2 HgCl21aq2 + C2O4 2 - 1aq2¡2 Cl - 1aq2 + 2 CO21g2 + Hg2Cl21s2 The initial rate of this reaction was determined for several concentrations of HgCl2 and C2O4 2 -, and the following rate data were obtained for the rate of disappearance of C2O4 2 - : Experiment 3HgCl2 4 1M 2 3C2o4 24 1M 2 Rate 1M,s2 1 0.164 0.15 3.2 * 10-5 2 0.164 0.45 2.9 * 10-4 3 0.082 0.45 1.4 * 10-4 4 0.246 0.15 4.8 * 10-5 (c) What is the reaction rate when the initial concentration of HgCl2 is 0.100 M and that of C2O4 2- is 0.25 M if the temperature is the same as that used to obtain the data shown?
The reaction 2 NO2¡2 NO + O2 has the rate constant k = 0.63 M- 1s - 1. (b) If the initial concentration of NO2 is 0.100 M, how would you determine how long it would take for the concentration to decrease to 0.025 M?
