Re: Quiz 2 Winter 2017
From the quiz 2 preparation in the course reader, it seems that it will just cover kinetics.

Re: Quiz 2 Winter 2017
We are still working on quiz 2 (and working our tails off as the midterm was last night, and answering questions on Chemistry Community, etc., got home long after midnight).

Re: Quiz 2 Winter 2017
Hey guys, so does that mean that the concepts generally covered on the quiz include ad follows: 1st order, second order, third order, and 1/2 life? Thanks in advance for the clarification.

When you balance the reaction, you get 2 mol N2O5, so you multiply the rate of decomposition of N2O5, 2.89, by 2 to get the rate of formation of NO2. So, this would be 2(2.89)= 5.78 (mol NO2)⋅L–1⋅s–1

Re: Quiz 2 Winter 2017
for number 8, is it okay if we express it in seconds, since the question gave the rate constant in seconds?
Additionally, do we need to know how to do numbers 5, 9, and 11 ? They all have to do with enzymes and the arrhenius equation, and i thought we didn't have to know that

Pretty sure the mechanism will be given to us. The intermediate will be the compound that is in the products of the first reaction and in the reactants of the second, and so will be canceled out -- it should be clear what it is

So this one you need to split into two problems. The first step will be to determine what k is.
1) you have your initial concentration (0.95 M) and your final concentration (0.44 M) and the time it takes (11 minutes)
you use your equation 1/(At) - 1/(A0) = k*t, and from there, find k.
2) now you know k. You now need your final concentration. You have your initial concentration (still 0.95 M) and your k and your time (21 minutes). So you plug everything into that same second order integrated equation, and you find At.
Hope that helps! :)

For #1, I used the unique rates with stoichiometric coefficients and set it up as -(1/a)(deltaA/deltat)=(1/c)(deltaC/deltat) and got -(1/2)(2.98)=(1/4)(x) would this be incorrect? I got -5.78mol NO2/L/s and I noticed the answer is +5.78.

Re: Quiz 2 Winter 2017. Help on Quiz 2 Prep please!
It is important to distinguish between the reaction and the rate constant. The units of rate constant are always M * s^-1. True or False.
I think the answer is True, however I'm not sure about this question. Could someone please explain?

The rate constant can be M * s^-1 for zero order, s^-1 for first order, and M^-1 * s^-1 for 2nd order. The units of the rate are constant; it will be M * s^-1 for zero order, first order, and second order. Because the units of the rate are constant, k must change units when the reaction is a different order because there is another term in a 2nd order rate as compared to a 1st order rate. 1st order: Rate = k*[A], 2nd order: Rate=k*[A]^2. If the 2nd order rate is in M/s and the 1st order rate is in M/s, then k must be different because the 2nd order rate has an additional [A], which is in M.

For #3, it is a first order reaction, so you use the corresponding equation
ln[A] = -kt + ln[A0]
so, ln(.33) = -(.0068)t + ln(.75)
ln(.33/.75) = -.0068t
t = ln(.33/.75)/-.0068
t = 120 sec

Andrea Medina 1A wrote:Can someone explain the graphing part of question 4 on the practice quiz?
It tells you that you have a graph where you're plotting the natural log of NOBr against time, and you get a straight line. on page 63 in the course reader, you can see that that's basically how you know that the reaction is first order. You can also check this with the equation
ln (A) = -kt + ln(A)
from here you can see the formula of a line, where -k is the slope and ln(A) is the y intercept. Therefore, ln(A) must be what you plot against t.
The other part asks that if you have a slope of -2, what k must be. Since the slope of the graph would be -k, and -k = -2 /s you can see that k=2/s

danny_nguyen_3C wrote:If the answer to #2 if false, what other possible units can be used to signify rate constant?
It depends on what order the reaction is. you can just check this with the rate equations.
ZERO ORDER:
Rate=k
the units of the rate are M/s
so k must be M/s too for zero order reactions
FIRST ORDER:
Rate = k[A]
M/s = ? (M)
so k must be /s
SECOND ORDER:
Rate = k[A]^2
M/S = ? * (M^2)
so k must be 1/s*M

You can use either approach to solve a reaction mechanism problem.
However, as I discussed in class you are only expected to know the pre-equilibrium approach.

Yes, you are going in the right direction! To finish the problem, you use the second order integrated rate law again with [Ao] = 0.95 M, k=0.11092 (which is what you just found), and t = 21 minutes. You then solve for [At] to get 0.30 M.

You know this one is a second order reaction because rate=[A]^2, and if you set up two equations using the 2nd order integrated rate law (one for 1.0 M and 0.5 M and the other for 0.5 M and 0.25 M), you can solve for t knowing k is constant. Once you solve, you can see that t will change values.

For number 10 you use the integrated rate law for the second order reaction which is 1/[R]=kt+1/[R]0. You can then manipulate the equation to solve for time, so t=(1/[R]-1/[R]0)/k. The k constant will be the same whether the concentration is decreasing from 1 M to 0.5 M or 0.5 M to 0.25 M. If you plug in the concentrations, you'll get t=1/k for 1 M --> 0.5 M, and t=2/k for 0.5 M --> 0.25 M. This means that the time it takes for the concentrations to decrease are both different, therefore the statement is false.

9 yes
11 no
could you please explain #9? It has to do with enzymes and I don't really know anything about them.
It is not possible to explain everything about enzymes, but I will try to explain why the answer is D. First of all, enzymes are catalysts, meaning they increase the reaction rates of chemical reactions. A and B speak about the concentration of substrate. What is important to know is that the rate of reaction of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction depends on the amount of substrate (reactants) you are given. This means that as you are given more substrate, enzymes become "active" in order to breakdown more of the substrate. On the other hand, if you are given less substrate, the enzymes aren't required to catalyze as many reactions than if there were large amount of substrates. I cannot explain C just because you need to know that all enzymes are proteins, but not necessarily the other way around (just like how a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square). Therefore, the answer is D.

To expand on this, if you look at the half reactions formulas, you will see how both the 0th order rxn and the 2nd order rxn are dependent on the initial reactant concentration. So when the quiz problem gives you two ranges of concentrations [1.0,0.50] and [0.50,0.25], it is in a way giving you a "new" initial concentration for the 2nd equation and because the initial concentrations are different, your half life values will be too: t1/2=1/k[R]0

I used the second order integrated Rate law, and my answer for K was 0.11092 i was wondering if i am going in the right direction and if so can you help me finish peals and thank you very much.
So this problem you need to split into two parts. You use the same equation but with diff #s
First part of the question you need to find k. With what you're given you know that it is a 2nd order and you have time involved (that is not in regards to half life) so you know to use the integrated rate law. You plug in all the numbers known to get k which you found was correct.
With k known you can use the same equation and plug in the new numbers given ([A]initial is known because that does not change). The final answer is rounded to .30M using the sig fig rules.
I hope this helped :)

Can someone please explain #5 on the practice quiz? I thought the answer would be A because you have to take into account temperature when finding the activation energy.
Re: Quiz 2 Winter 2017
For the pre-equilibrium approach: What if there are more than two steps in the mechanism? Also, how did you go from rate = k1 [CHBr3] ((k2[Br2])/k' 2) to rate = k [CHBr3][Br2]?

For #11:
I'm not 100% sure this is how to approach this problem, but this is what a friend and I did to solve it!
ln k2/k1= Ea/8.314 [1/T1 - 1/T2]
k2=35 min^-1
k1=25 min^-1
T1=298
T2=350
Solve for Ea
0.336= 0.000498Ea/8.314
Ea=5617.3
Now find rate constant at 770K
ln x/25= 5617.3/8.314 [1/298 - 1/770]
ln x/25 = 1.3898
x=25e^1.38, so x=99.37 min^-1 or 100 min^-1
Hope this helps! If this isn't the correct way to solve this problem, please feel free to correct it!

Hi, can someone show me how they did #7, I know you use the first order integrated rate law, but when I work it out I am not getting the answer that is posted.

Correct. Half-life formulas with [A]o depend on the initial concentration (as discussed in class). See pages 64, 66, and 67 in the lecture notes.

First, you need to rearrange the first order integrated rate law and isolate k. (k=ln(A/A0)/t) After, plug in each value. k=ln(0.622M/0.773M)/22.0 min, which should give you 9.88x10-3min-1. Hope this helps, I'm sorry I couldn't figure out how to upload a picture!

This might be dumb question, but could someone quickly explain the difference between the reaction rate and the rate constant?

Is there any place that all of the course reader quiz 2 answers (written out, long, and explanatory) are compiled in one place? I know there are the answers on this site.

When you balance the reaction, you get 2 mol N2O5, so you multiply the rate of decomposition of N2O5, 2.89, by 2 to get the rate of formation of NO2. So, this would be 2(2.89)= 5.78 (mol NO2)⋅L–1⋅s–1
Does this mean the coefficient in front of the reactants doesn't matter for this question?

I am also confused by this question. I know that the equation is second-order, but do not understand why the decomposition would take different amounts of time.
Since it is second order, the equation for t1/2 is t1/2 = 1/([A]0 *k) which means it depends on [A]0 . Since in #10, the half lives you are comparing have different initial concentrations, the half life is different. Initial concentration also affects goes a zero order reaction but not a first order.

Can someone please explain number 7! I know it's a straight forward problem, but I must be missing a step because I can't seem to get the correct answer.
Re: Quiz 2 Winter 2017
As for number 7, when do we know to use the rearranged integrated rate law and when to use the differential rate law?

So for number 7, you can use the 1st order integrated rate law, which is ln[A] = -kt + ln [A]initial and then isolate k, since you're solving for k
ln [A] is 0.622M
ln [A] initial is 0.773 M
t is 22 mins
and you're solving for k
all plugged in, it should be ln 0.622= -k (22) + ln 0.773
so, - (ln 0.622 - ln 0.773)/ 22 = k
then it should be straight algebra after that. The answer I got is 0.009877, which is the same as 9.88 x 10^-3

For #3, it is a first order reaction, so you use the corresponding equation
ln[A] = -kt + ln[A0]
so, ln(.33) = -(.0068)t + ln(.75)
ln(.33/.75) = -.0068t
t = ln(.33/.75)/-.0068
t = 120 sec
Thank you! I had the same question
the answer I got was 120.73... are we not suppose to round to three sig figs? So wouldn't it be 121 sec?
Re: Quiz 2 Winter 2017
Is there a reason why number six's answer has three significant figures despite the given concentration 0.35M having two significant figures? Do we not bother with sig figs when ln is involved?
