The decomposition of NOBr is studied manometrically because the number of moles of gas changes; it cannot be studied colorimetrically because both NOBr and Br2 are reddish-brown:
Use the data below to answer the following:
(a) Determine the average rate over the entire experiment.
(b) Determine the average rate between 2.00 and 4.00 s.
(c) Use graphical methods to estimate the initial reaction rate.
(d) Use graphical methods to estimate the rate at 7.00 s.
(e) At what time does the instantaneous rate equal the average rate over the entire experiment?
Time (s) | [NOBr] (mol/L) |
0.00 | 0.0100 |
2.00 | 0.0071 |
4.00 | 0.0055 |
6.00 | 0.0045 |
8.00 | 0.0038 |
10.00 | 0.0033 |
Give two reasons to measure initialrates in a kinetic study.
Reaction rate is expressed in terms of changes in the concentration of reactants and products. Write a balanced equation for
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.
For the reaction , , Assuming a one-step reaction,
(a) Draw a reaction energy diagram;
(b) Calculate Ea(rev); and
(c) Sketch a possible transition state if ABC is V-shaped
