D.. Adding a catalyst decreases the activation energy of the reaction by 25 kJ/mol. What is the rate constant for the catalyzed reaction?

2.The rate of the reaction shown below is known to be first order in I2 and first order in H2.

H2(g) + I2(g) 2HI(g)

The following mechanism was proposed for this reaction. Is it a valid mechanism? For full credit, you must determine the rate law as predicted by the mechanism, identify all intermediates, and provide a complete evaluation of all criteria necessary for the mechanism to be valid.

Step 1: I2(g) 2I(g) (fast, equilibrium)

Step 2: H2(g) + I(g) H2I(g) (fast, equilibrium)

Step 3: H2I(g) + I(g) 2HI(g) (slow)

3. When 9.25 g of ClF3 was introduced into an empty 2.00-L container at 700.0 K, 40.0% of the ClF3 decomposed to give an equilibrium mixture of ClF3, ClF, and F2. An additional 5.45 g of ClF was then added to the container. What are the molar concentrations of ClF3, ClF, and F2 when the mixture reaches equilibrium?

ClF3(g) ClF(g) + F2(g)

4. A 1.00-L vessel at 298 K is filled with 11.0 g of NOBr. How many grams of NO are in the vessel at equilibrium?

Explanation / Answer

1) rate = k [BrO3-]x [Br-]y [H+]z

   we need to find out x , y , z

From the table

by using data 1 & 2 we get x = 1

by using data 2 & 3 we get y = 1

by using data 3 & 4 we get z = 2

A) Rate law :

      Rate = k [BrO3-]x [Br-]y [H+]z

      Rate = k [BrO3-]1 [Br-]1[H+]2

B) Rate constant for the reaction :

    Rate = k [BrO3-]1 [Br-]1[H+]2

8.0 104 = k [0.1]1 [0.1]1[0.1]2

              k = 8 mol-3 lit3 sec-1

   C) initial rate

[BrO3] = 0.10 M, [Br] = 0.50 M, and [H+] = 0.60 M

      Rate = 8.0 104 M/min

      Rate = k [BrO3-]1 [Br-]1[H+]2

         = 8 [0.1]1 [0.5]1[0.6]2

       Rate    = 0.144

D) activation energy decreases rate of reaction increases

2)

yes . it is valid mechanism

rate = k [H2][I2]

explanation :

forward rate = k2[I][H2]
reverse rate = k-2[IH2]

k2[I][H2] = k-2[IH2]

so [IH2] = (k2 / k-2)[I][H2]

From the first fast equilibrium step, k1[I2] = k-1[I]^2

[I] = sqrt ((k1 / k-1) [I2])

Substitute the new expressions for [IH2] and [I] into our first rate law.

rate = k3[IH2][I] = k ((k2 / k-2)[I][H2]) (sqrt ((k1 / k-1) [I2]))

lump all of the k's into one constant, K4

rate = k4[I][H2](sqrt [I2]) = k4(sqrt ((k1 / k-1) [I2])[H2](sqrt [I2])
rate= k5[H2][I2]

3)

ClF3 molarity = (9.25 / 92.44 ) x 1/2

                       = 0.05M

ClF3 <------------------> ClF + F2

0.05                            0         0

0.05-x                        x            x

ClF molarity =(5.45 / 54.5 ) x1/2

                     =0.05 M

new equilibrium

ClF3 <------------------> ClF +    F2

0.05                            0             0

0.05-x                        x +0.05       x -------------------> new equilibrium

x = 0.05 x 40 / 100

     = 0.02

at equilibrium concentrations

[ClF3] = 0.05-0.02 = 0.03 M

[ClF] = x + 0.05 = 0.07 M

[F2] = x=0.02 M

4)

NOBr molarity = 11/ 110 = 0.1

Kp = Kc (RT)^Dn

4 x 10^-5 = Kc (0.0821 x 298)^1

Kc = 1.635 x 10^-6

2 NOBr < -----------------------> 2NO + Br2

0.1                                           0          0 ----------------------initial

0.1-2x                                       2x          x -------------------equilibrium

Kc = (2x)^2 (x) / (0.1-2x)^2

1.635 x 10^-6 = 4x^3/ (0.1-2x)^2

   x = 1.565 x 10^-3

[NO] = 2x = 2 x 1.565 x 10^-3

molarity of [NO] = 3.13 x 10^-3 M

Molarity = n /V

3.13 x 10^-3 = n/1

n = 3.13 x 10^-3

(w/mw) = 3.13 x 10^-3

w/ 30 = 3.13 x 10^-3

w = 0.094 g
