Question

1. The rate constant of a reaction increases when:

check all that apply.

Select one or more:

a. the concentration decreases

b. the activation energy decreases

c. the Temperature increases

d. the concentration increases

2. The rate constant k of a chemical reaction increases as:

Select one:

a. The concentration of products goes down

b. The volume of the solution decreases

c. stays the same

d. The concentration of the reactants goes up

3. The reaction:   2 N2O5 --> 4 NO2 + O2  is a first order reaction.

Which is the correct rate law?

Select one:

a. Rate = 2 N2O5

b. Rate = k[N2O5]2[NO2]4[O2]

c. k = [N2O5]2[NO2]4[O2]

d. Rate = k[N2O5]

e. Rate = k[N2O5]2

4. The reaction: H2 + 2 ICl --> 2 HCl + I2 and has a rate law of Rate = k[H2][ICl]

This reaction is:

Select one:

a. 2nd order in [H2] and 2nd order in [ICl]

b. 1st order in [H2] and 2nd order in [ICl]

c. 2nd order in [H2] and 1st order in [ICl]

d. 1st order in [H2] and 1st order in [ICl]

e. 3rd order overall
