In the industrial chemicals process, many aspects shall be considered in obtaining the targeted products with optimum yield and profit. Among those aspects are stated in the following statement. As an expert in the chemical industry, you are required to evaluate each statement. i) "Chemical kinetics aspect is not essential in optimizing the yield of the targeted chemical product". ii) "Neither exothermic nor endothermic reaction affect the stability of the chemical product". iii) "The activation energy (E₁) characteristic is temperature independence." iv) "One reaction with AG°> 0 under standard conditions thermodynamically do not occur spontaneously, but can be made to occur under non-standard conditions".

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?
When a mixture of hydrogen and bromine is maintained at normal atmospheric pressure and heated above 200. °C in a closed container, the hydrogen and bromine react to form hydrogen bromide and a gas-phase equilibrium is established. Write a balanced chemical equation for the equilibrium reaction. Use bond enthalpies from Table 6.2 ( Sec. 6-6b) to estimate the enthalpy change for the reaction.

In which direction would the equilibrium shift? Why is the equilibrium not established at room temperature?
