( a) For a reaction with a given Ea, how does an increase in T affect the rate?
(b) For a reaction at a given T, how does a decrease in Ea affect the rate?
The rate law for the general reaction
is rate =
(a) Explain the meaning of k.
(b) Explain the meanings of m and n. Does m a and n b? Explain.
(c) If the reaction is first order in A and second order in B, and time is measured in minutes (min), what are the units for k?
Give the individual reaction orders for all substances and the overall reaction order from the following rate law:
Suggest an experimental method for measuring the change in concentration with time for each of the following reactions:
While developing a catalytic process to make ethylene glycol from synthesis gas , a chemical engineer finds the rate is fourth-order in gas pressure. The uncertainty in the pressure reading is 5%. When the catalyst is modified, the rate increases by 10%. If you were the company patent attorney, would you file for a patent on this catalyst modification? Explain.
