Nitrogen monoxide reacts with chlorine according to the equation:
The following initial
[NO] (moI/L1) | [CI2] (mol/L) | Rate (moI/L/h) |
0.50 | 0.50 | 1.14 |
1.00 | 0.50 | 4.56 |
1.00 | 1.00 | 9.12 |
What is the rate equation that describes the rate’s dependence on the concentrations of NO and CI2? What is the rate constant? What are the orders with respect to each reactant?

- 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?arrow_forward. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.arrow_forwardDefine these terms: (a) unimolecular reaction (b) bimolecular reaction (c) elementary reaction (d) overall reactionarrow_forward
- Iodomethane (CH3I) is a commonly used reagent in organic chemistry. When used properly, this reagent allows chemists to introduce methyl groups in many different useful applications. The chemical does pose a risk as a carcinogen, possibly owing to iodomethanes ability to react with portions of the DNA strand (if they were to come in contact). Consider the following hypothetical initial rates data: [DNA]0 ( mol/L) [CH3I]0 ( mol/L) Initial Rate (mol/Ls) 0.100 0.100 3.20 104 0.100 0.200 6.40 104 0.200 0.200 1.28 103 Which of the following could be a possible mechanism to explain the initial rate data?

Therefore, we can determine the rate law directly from the balanced equations. What do you tell your friend?arrow_forward
- Explain what is meant by the average rate of a reaction.arrow_forwardCandle wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons. In the reaction of oxygen with candle w ax in Figure 11.2, the rate of consumption of oxygen decreased with time after the flask was covered, and eventually' the flame went out. From the perspective of the kinetic-molecular theory, describe what is happening in the flask. FIGURE 11.2 When a candle burns in a closed container, the flame will diminish and eventually go out. As the amount of oxygen present decreases, the rate of combustion will also decrease. Eventually, the rate of combustion is no longer sufficient to sustain the flame even though there is still some oxygen present in the vessel.arrow_forwardConsider the hypothetical reaction A+B+2C2D+3E In a study of this reaction three experiments were run at the same temperature. The rate is defined as [B]/t. Experiment 1: [A]0 = 2.0 M [B]0 = 1.0 103 M [C]0 = 1.0 M [B] (mol/L) Time(s) 2.7 104 1.0 105 1.6 104 2.0 105 1.1 104 3.0 105 8.5 105 4.0 105 6.9 105 5.0 105 5.8 105 6.0 105 Experiment 2: [A]0 = 1.0 102M [B]0 = 3.0 M [C]0 = 1.0 M [A] (mol/L) Time(s) 8.9 103 1.0 7.1 103 3.0 5.5 103 5.0 3.8 103 8.0 2.9 103 10.0 2.0 103 13.0 Experiment 3: [A]0 = 10.0 M [B]0 = 5.0 M [C]0 = 5.0 101M [C] (mol/L) Time(s) 0.43 1.0 102 0.36 2.0 102 0.29 3.0 102 0.22 4.0 102 0.15 5.0 102 0.08 6.0 102 Write the rate law for this reaction, and calculate the value of the rate constant.arrow_forward
