Ina kinetics experiment, a chemist places crystals of iodine in a closed reaction vessel, introduces a given quantity of hydrogen gas, and obtains data to calculate the rate of hydrogen iodide formation. In a second experiment, she uses the same amounts of iodine and hydrogen, but first warms the flask to 130 degrees Celsius, a temperature above the sublimation point of iodine. In which of these experiments does the reaction proceed at a higher rate? Explain.
Question:Many drugs decompose in blood by a first-order process.
(a) Two tablets of aspirin supply 0.60 g of the active compound. After 30 min, this compound reaches a maximum concentration of 2 mg/100 mL of blood. If the half-life for its breakdown is 90 min, what is its concentration (in mg/100 mL) 2.5 h after it reaches its maximum concentration?
(b) For the decomposition of an antibiotic in a person with a normal temperature ; for a person with a fever at , . If the person with the fever must take another pill when of the first pill has decomposed, how many hours should she wait to take a second pill? A third pill? (Assume the pill is effective immediately.)
(c) Calculate Ea for decomposition of the antibiotic in part (b).
Question:For the decomposition of gaseous dinitrogen pentaoxide,
the rate constant is k initial concentration of is 1.58 mol/L.
(a) What after 5.00 min?
(b) What fraction of thehas decomposed after 5.00 min?
Explain why the coefficients of an elementary step equal the reaction orders of its rate law but those of an overall reaction do not.
