6. Consider the decomposition of perbenzoic acid in water: 2 C6H5CO3(aq) → 2 C6H5COOH(aq) + O₂(g). The reaction may proceed according to the following mechanism: C6H5CO3HC6H5CO¾¯ + H* C6H5CO3H + C6H5CO3 O₂ + C6H5CO₂ + С6H5COOH Assuming that the second step is rate-limiting, and the first step in the reaction satisfies the pre-equilibrium condition, determine the rate of formation of O₂. Assume the pH remains constant throughout the reaction. Would the rate of reaction increase or decrease with a more acidic pH?

The equation for the iodination of acetone in acidic solution isCH3 COCH3(aq) + I2(aq) → CH3 COCH2(aq) + H+(aq) + I- (aq) The rate of the reaction is found to be dependent not only on the concentration of the reactants but also on the hydrogen ion centration. Hence the rate expression of this reaction is: rate = k [CH3COCH3]m [I2 ]n [H+]p The rate is obtained by the following the disappearance of iodine using starch as an indicator.

The first step in the heterogeneoushydrogenation of ethylene is adsorption of theethylene molecule on a metal surface. One proposed explanation for the “sticking” of ethylene to a metalsurface is the interaction of the electrons in the C—C π bond with vacant orbitals on the metal surface. (a) If thisnotion is correct, would ethane be expected to adsorb to a metal surface, and, if so, how strongly would ethane bindcompared to ethylene? (b) Based on its Lewis structure,would you expect ammonia to adsorb to a metal surfaceusing a similar explanation as for ethylene?
