A chemical reaction has an activation energy Eact of about 0.4 eV. When the temperature increases from T-300 K (room temperature) to T AT 311 K, how much more probable for a chemical reaction to occur? For example, you can answer the question as the probability for the chemical reaction to occur at T+AT is 1.5 times the probability at T. Answer as the ratio of PT AT/PT and round to one decimal place.

Old-fashioned smelling salts consist of ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3. The reaction for the decomposition of ammonium carbonate (NH4)2CO3(s)2NH3(g)+CO(g)+H2O(g) is endothermic. Would the smell of ammonia increase or decrease as the temperature is increased?
The following equation represents a reversible decomposition: CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) Under what conditions will decomposition in a closed container proceed to completion so that no CaCO3 remains?
Monochloroethane (C2H5Cl) can be produced by the direct reaction of ethane gas (C2H6) with chlorine gas or by the reaction of ethylene gas (C2H4) with hydrogen chloride gas. The second reaction gives almost a 100% yield of pure C2H5Cl at a rapid rate without catalysis. The first method requires light as an energy source or the reaction would not occur. Yet G for the first reaction is considerably more negative than G for the second reaction. Explain how this can be so.
For the endothermic reaction AB(g)A(g)+B(g), the following represents a reaction container at two different temperatures. Which one (I or II) is at the lower temperature?
In Chapter 3, we discussed the conversion of biomass into biofuels. One important area of research associated with biofuels is the identification and development of suitable catalysts to increase the rate at which fuels can be produced. Do a web search to find an article describing biofuel catalysts. Then, write one or two sentences describing the reactions being catalyzed, and identify the catalyst as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
For the vaporization of one mole of bromine at 59C, determine (a) H (Table 8.2) (b) PV(c) E
The direct reaction of iron(III) oxide. Fe2O3, to give iron and oxygen gas is a nonspontaneous reaction; normally, iron combines with oxygen to give rust (the oxide). Yet we do change iron(III) oxide, as iron ore, into iron metal. How is this possible? Explain.
Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
For the decomposition of Ag2O: 2Ag2O(s)4Ag(s)+O2(g)(a) Obtain an expression for G as a function of temperature. Prepare a table of G values at 100 K intervals between 100 K and 500 K. b) Calculate the temperature at which G =0.
The reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen to form methanol is quite slow at room temperature. As a general rule, reactions go faster at higher temperatures. Suppose that you tried to speed up this reaction by increasing the temperature. (a) Assuming that rH does not change very much as the temperature changes, what effect would increasing the temperature have on rSsurroundings? (b) Assuming that rS for a reaction System does not change much as the temperature changes, what effect would increasing the temperature have on rSuniverse?
Why are there no changes specified for Ni in Exercise 13.61, part (f)? What property of Ni does change?
Data in the table were collected at 540 K for the following reaction: CO(g) + NO2(g) CO2(g) + NO(g) Using the data in the table: (a) Determine the reaction order with respect to each reactant. (b) Derive the rate equation. (c) Calculate the rate constant, giving the correct units for k.
