Chapter 12: Problem 45

A certain first-order reaction is \(45.0 \%\) complete in \(65 \mathrm{~s}\). What are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this process?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The rate constant for this first-order reaction is approximately \(k \approx 0.01169 s^{-1}\). The half-life for this first-order reaction is approximately \(t_{1/2} \approx 59.27s\).

Step by step solution

01

Determine the reaction completion and time elapsed

We are given that the reaction is 45.0% complete in 65 seconds.
02

Use the formula for first-order reaction

We can use the first-order reaction formula: \[ln(\frac{A_0}{A_t}) = kt\] Where: - \(A_0\) is the initial concentration - \(A_t\) is the concentration at time t - \(k\) is the rate constant - \(t\) is the time elapsed Since the reaction is 45.0% complete, we have 55.0% remaining. Assuming the initial concentration is 1, we can say that \(A_t = 0.55\). Now, substitute the known values into the formula: \[ln(\frac{1}{0.55}) = k \cdot 65s\]
03

Solve for the rate constant, k

We rearrange the formula to solve for k: \[k = \frac{ln(\frac{1}{0.55})}{65s}\] Now calculate k: \[k \approx 0.01169 s^{-1}\] So the rate constant for this first-order reaction is approximately 0.01169 s^(-1).
04

Determine the half-life (t) for a first-order reaction

The half-life formula for a first-order reaction can be written as: \[t_{1/2} = \frac{ln(2)}{k}\] Now, substitute the calculated value of k into the formula: \[t_{1/2} = \frac{ln(2)}{0.01169s^{-1}}\]
05

Calculate the half-life

Finally, calculate the half-life: \[t_{1/2} \approx 59.27s\] So the half-life for this first-order reaction is approximately 59.27 seconds.

Describe at least two experiments you could perform to determine a rate law.

One mechanism for the destruction of ozone in the upper atmosphere is $$ \begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{O}_{3}(g)+\mathrm{NO}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{NO}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) & \text { Slov } \\ \mathrm{NO}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{O}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{NO}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) & \text { Fast } \\ \hline \end{array} $$ Overall reaction \(\mathrm{O}_{3}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})\) a. Which species is a catalyst? b. Which species is an intermediate? c. \(E_{\mathrm{a}}\) for the uncatalyzed reaction $$ \mathrm{O}_{3}(g)+\mathrm{O}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{O}_{2} $$ is \(14.0 \mathrm{~kJ} . E_{\mathrm{a}}\) for the same reaction when catalyzed is \(11.9 \mathrm{~kJ}\). What is the ratio of the rate constant for the catalyzed reaction to that for the uncatalyzed reaction at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ? Assume that the frequency factor \(A\) is the same for each reaction.

A popular chemical demonstration is the "magic genie" procedure, in which hydrogen peroxide decomposes to water and oxygen gas with the aid of a catalyst. The activation energy of this (uncatalyzed) reaction is \(70.0 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\). When the catalyst is added, the activation energy (at \(20 .{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ) is \(42.0 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\). Theoretically, to what temperature \(\left({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\) would one have to heat the hydrogen peroxide solution so that the rate of the uncatalyzed reaction is equal to the rate of the catalyzed reaction at \(20 .{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?\) Assume the frequency factor \(A\) is constant and assume the initial concentrations are the same.

Consider the general reaction $$ \mathrm{aA}+\mathrm{bB} \longrightarrow \mathrm{cC} $$ and the following average rate data over some time period \(\Delta t\) : $$ \begin{aligned} -\frac{\Delta \mathrm{A}}{\Delta t} &=0.0080 \mathrm{~mol} / \mathrm{L} \cdot \mathrm{s} \\ -\frac{\Delta \mathrm{B}}{\Delta t} &=0.0120 \mathrm{~mol} / \mathrm{L} \cdot \mathrm{s} \\ \frac{\Delta \mathrm{C}}{\Delta t} &=0.0160 \mathrm{~mol} / \mathrm{L} \cdot \mathrm{s} \end{aligned} $$ Determine a set of possible coefficients to balance this general reaction.

The initial rate of a reaction doubles as the concentration of one of the reactants is quadrupled. What is the order of this reactant? If a reactant has a \(-1\) order, what happens to the initial rate when the concentration of that reactant increases by a factor of two?
