Quiz 1

1 .       Which three factors affect the rate of a chemical reaction? 



2 .       In the reaction 2A + B --> 2C + D, -[A]/t is found to be 5.0 M min-1. What is the rate of change of B? 



3 .       Consider the reaction in which ammonia is synthesized from nitrogen and hydrogen gases:
N2(g) + 3H2(g) ---> 2NH3(g)
How is the rate of formation of ammonia related to the rate of consumption of hydrogen? 



4 .       Use the information below to determine the order of the reaction in reactant A.

A + B --> P
Trial[A], M[B], MRate
10.2730.7632.83
20.2731.5262.83
30.8190.76325.47
 



5 .       Which one of the following is incorrect for the reaction A --> B? 



6 .       The decomposition of nitrogen dioxide to nitrogen and oxygen is second-order with a rate constant k = 12.5 M-1 s-1. What is the half-life for the reaction if [NO2]0 = 0.00260 M



7 .       Which of the following graphs is linear for A --> products? 



8 .       For the reaction A --> B, the activation energy is Ea = 125 kJ/mol and the heat of reaction, H = 50. kJ/mol. What is the Ea for the reverse reaction in kJ/mol? 



9 .       Which statement is not correct regarding the function of a catalyst? 



10 .       Refer to the equation below, where two mechanisms are proposed for the reaction of nitrogen dioxide with carbon monoxide:

NO2(g) + CO(g) --> CO2(g) + NO(g)

Mechanism I: NO2(g) + CO(g) --> CO2(g) + NO(g) (one step)

Mechanism II: NO2(g) + NO2(g) --> NO3(g) + NO(g) (slow)

NO3(g) + CO(g) --> CO2(g) + NO2(g) (fast)

What is the predicted rate law for Mechanism II? 



11 .       Which of the following will lower the activation energy for a reaction? 



12 .       Given the following mechanism, which of the species below is a catalyst in the formation of XO2 from X and O2?

X + YO2 --> XO + YO

XO + YO2 --> XO2 + YO

YO + O2 --> YO2 + O

YO + O --> YO2
