(a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. As a reaction progresses its rate goes up. As a reaction progresses its rate goes down. Reactions involving very unstable combinations of chemicals have small rate constants. Reaction rates increase as reactant concentrations decrease. Reaction rates always increase as masses of solid reactants increase. A balanced chemical reaction is necessary to relate the rate of disappearance of a reactant to the rate of appearance of a product.

. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.
In general, what is the relationship between reaction rate and reactant concentration?
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?
Determine rxnH 25 C for the following reaction: NO g O2 g NO2 g This reaction is a major participant in the formation of smog.
Consider the following statements: In general, the rate of a chemical reaction increases a bit at first because it takes a while for the reaction to get warmed up. After that, however, the rate of the reaction decreases because its rate is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and these are decreasing. Indicate everything that is correct in these statements, and indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect statements and explain.
A reaction is started by mixing reactants. As time passes, the rate decreases. Explain this behavior that is characteristic of most reactions.
For the reaction of crystal violet with NaOH(aq), the measured rate of reaction is 1.27 106 mol L1 s1 when the concentration of crystal violet cation is 4.13 105 mol/L. (a) Estimate how long it will take for the concentration of crystal violet to drop from 4.30 105 mol/L to 3.96 105 mol/L. (b) Could you use the same method to make an accurate estimate of how long it would take for the concentration of crystal violet to drop from 4.30 105 mol/L to 0.43 105 mol/L? Explain why or why not.
The rate constant, k, at 25 C is 0.27/h for the reaction Pt(NH3)2Cl2(aq) + H2O() [Pt(NH3)2(H2O)Cl]+(aq) + Cl(aq) and the rate equation is Reaction rate = k[Pt(NH3)2C12] Calculate the rate of reaction when the concentration of Pt(NH3)2Cl2 is 0.020 M.

(a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion.Reaction rates increase with increasing temperature.The slowest step in a reaction is called the rate-determining step.Catalysts increase reaction rates.The fastest step in a reaction is called the rate-determining step.As a reaction progresses its rate goes down.Reaction rates can show little change as masses of solid reactants increase.
(a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. A balanced chemical reaction is necessary to relate the rate of reaction to the concentration of a reactant. As a reaction progresses its rate goes down. The rate of a slow step has more effect on the overall reaction rate than the rate of a fast step. Reaction rates are determined by reactant concentrations, temperatures, and reactant stabilities. Reaction rates increase with increasing temperature. Reactions involving very unstable combinations of chemicals have large rate constants.

The rate of a fast step has more effect on the overall reaction rate than the rate of a slow step. Catalysts decrease reaction rates. Reaction rates increase as concentrations of homogeneous catalysts increase. The fastest step in a reaction is called the rate-determining step. Solid catalysts do not affect reaction rates. As a reaction progresses its rate goes up.
