The acid-catalyzed iodination of acetone CH3COCH3(aq) + I2(aq) CH3COCH2I(aq) + HI(aq) is a common laboratory experiment used in general chemistry courses to teach the method of initial rates. The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by the disappearance of the color of iodine in the solution. The following data (J. P. Birk and D. L Walters, Journal of Chemical Education, Vol. 69, p. 585, 1992) were collected at 23 C for this reaction. Determine the rate law for this reaction.
Experiments have shown that the average frequency of chirping by a snowy tree cricket (Oecanthus fultoni) depends on temperature as shown in the table. Chirping Rate (per min) Temperature (C) 178 25.0 126 20.3 100. 17.3 What is the apparent activation energy of the process that controls the chirping? What is the rate of chirping expected at a temperature of 7.5C?
The hydrolysis of the sugar sucrose to the sugars glucose and fructose, C12H22O11+H2OC6H12O6+C6H12O6 follows a first-order rate equation for the disappearance of sucrose: Rate =k[C12H22O11] (The products of the reaction, glucose and fructose, have the same molecular formulas but differ in the arrangement of the atoms in their molecules.) (a) In neutral solution, k=2.11011s1 at 27 C and 8.51011s1 at 37 C. Determine the activation energy, the frequency factor, and the rate constant for this equation at 47 C (assuming the kinetics remain consistent with the Arrhenius equation at this temperature). (b) When a solution of sucrose with an initial concentration of 0.150 M reaches equilibrium, the concentration of sucrose is 1.65107M . How long will it take the solution to reach equilibrium at 27 C in the absence of a catalyst? Because the concentration of sucrose at equilibrium is so low, assume that the reaction is irreversible. (c) Why does assuming that the reaction is irreversible simplify the calculation in pan (b)?

The type of rate law for a reaction, either the differential rate law or the integrated rate law, is usually determined by which data is easiest to collect. Explain.
The initial rate for a reaction is equal to the slope of the tangent line at t 0 in a plot of [A] versus time. From calculus, initial rate = d[A]dt . Therefore. the differential rate law for a reaction is Rate = d[A]dt=k[A]n. Assuming you have some calculus in your background, derive the zero-, first-, and second-order integrated rate laws using the differential rate law.
