01:57 03:06Consider the reaction: 2 O3(g) → 3 O2( g) The rate law for this reaction is: Rate = k [O3]2 [O2] Suppose that a 1.0-L reaction vessel initially contains 1.0 mol of O3 and 1.0 mol of O2. What fraction of the O3 will have reacted when the rate falls to one-half of its initial value?
Dinitrogen pentoxide decomposes in the gas phase to form nitrogen dioxide and oxygen gas. The reaction is first order in dinitrogen pentoxide and has a half-life of 2.81 h at 25 °C. If a 1.5-L reaction vessel initially contains 745 torr of N2O5 at 25 °C, what partial pressure of O2 is present in the vessel after 215 minutes?
Iodine atoms combine to form I2 in liquid hexane solvent with a rate constant of 1.5⨉1010 L/mols. The reaction is second order in I. Since the reaction occurs so quickly, the only way to study the reaction is to create iodine atoms almost instantaneously, usually by photochemical decomposition of I2. Suppose a flash of light creates an initial [I] concentration of 0.0100 M. How long will it take for 95% of the newly created iodine atoms to recombine to form I2?
Consider this energy diagram:
d. Is the overall reaction endothermic or exothermic?
Consider the reaction in which HCl adds across the double bond of ethene: HCl + H2C=CH2 → H3C-CH2Cl The following mechanism, with the accompanying energy diagram, has been suggested for this reaction:
Step 1 HCl + H2C=CH2 → H3C=CH2+ + Cl-
Step 2 H3C=CH2+ + Cl- → H3C-CH2Cl
a. Based on the energy diagram, determine which step is rate limiting.
