Consider the following reaction: CO(g) + NO2(g) → CO₂(g) + NO(g) If the rate law for this reaction is: rate = k [NO₂], what is the effect on the rate if the starting pressure of NO₂is increased from 0.25 atm to 1.0 atm? The rate will increase by 16-fold. The rate will not change. The rate will increase by 4-fold. The rate will decrease by 4-fold.

In Chapter 3, we discussed the conversion of biomass into biofuels. One important area of research associated with biofuels is the identification and development of suitable catalysts to increase the rate at which fuels can be produced. Do a web search to find an article describing biofuel catalysts. Then, write one or two sentences describing the reactions being catalyzed, and identify the catalyst as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
Explain what is meant by the average rate of a reaction.
The reaction NO(g) + O,(g) — NO,(g) + 0(g) plays a role in the formation of nitrogen dioxide in automobile engines. Suppose that a series of experiments measured the rate of this reaction at 500 K and produced the following data; [NO] (mol L ’) [OJ (mol L 1) Rate = -A[NO]/Af (mol L_1 s-1) 0.002 0.005 8.0 X 10"'7 0.002 0.010 1.6 X 10-'6 0.006 0.005 2.4 X IO-'6 Derive a rate law for the reaction and determine the value of the rate constant.
The following equation represents a reversible decomposition: CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) Under what conditions will decomposition in a closed container proceed to completion so that no CaCO3 remains?
If a textbook defined a catalyst as "a substance that increases the rate of a reaction," would that definition be adequate?
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?
One of the concerns about the use of Freons is that they will migrate to the upper atmosphere, where chlorine atoms can be generated by the following reaction: CCl2F2(g)Freon-12hvCF2Cl(g)+Cl(g) Chlorine atoms can act as a catalyst for the destruction of ozone. The activation energy for the reaction Cl(g) + O3(g) ClO(g) + O2(g) Is 2.1 kJ/mol. Which is the more effective catalyst for the destruction of ozone, Cl or NO? (See Exercise 75.)
11.35 For the reaction 2 NO(g) + 2 H?(g) — N,(g) + 2 H,O(g) at 1100°C, the following data have been obtained: [NOJ [HJ Rate = A(N2]/At (mol L~1) (mol L_1) (mol L-1 s_1) 5.0 X 10’1 0.32 0.012 1.0 X 10~’ 0.32 0.048 1.0 X 10"2 0.64 0.096 Derive a rate law for the reaction and determine the value of the rate constant.
Can a reaction mechanism ever be proven correct? Can it be proven incorrect?
11.102 Suppose that you are studying a reaction and need to determine its rate law. Explain what you would need to measure in order to accomplish this in a single experiment, and how you could use graphical methods to get from the experimental data to a complete rate law.
