Old-fashioned smelling salts consist of ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3. The reaction for the decomposition of ammonium carbonate (NH4)2CO3(s)2NH3(g)+CO(g)+H2O(g) is endothermic. Would the smell of ammonia increase or decrease as the temperature is increased?
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 molecules collide, a certain minimum energy called the _________ is needed for the reaction to occur.
The recycling of polymers represents only one industrial process that allows creating order in one location by creating greater disorder at some other location, often at a power plant. List three other industrial processes that must create disorder in the surroundings to generate the desired material.
For the endothermic reaction AB(g)A(g)+B(g), the following represents a reaction container at two different temperatures. Which one (I or II) is at the lower temperature?
The reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen to form methanol is quite slow at room temperature. As a general rule, reactions go faster at higher temperatures. Suppose that you tried to speed up this reaction by increasing the temperature. (a) Assuming that rH does not change very much as the temperature changes, what effect would increasing the temperature have on rSsurroundings? (b) Assuming that rS for a reaction System does not change much as the temperature changes, what effect would increasing the temperature have on rSuniverse?
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.
For the gas-phase reaction 2H2+O22H2O rxnG is 457.18kJ. What does a graph of G versus lnQ lnQ varying from 50 to +50 look like at 25C? Change the temperature and find out if the graph looks substantially different at different temperatures.
Which sentence best describes the following reaction? 2H2(g)+O2(g)2H2O(l)+heat a. It is an endothermic reaction. b. It is an exothermic double-replacement reaction. c. It is a synthesis reaction that is also exothermic. d. It is a decomposition reaction that is also endothermic.
The direct reaction of iron(III) oxide. Fe2O3, to give iron and oxygen gas is a nonspontaneous reaction; normally, iron combines with oxygen to give rust (the oxide). Yet we do change iron(III) oxide, as iron ore, into iron metal. How is this possible? Explain.
The reaction to prepare methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen CO(g)+H2(g)CH3OH(g) is exothermic. If you wanted to use this reaction to produce methanol commercially, would high or low temperatures favor a maximum yield? Explain.
