- At 573 K, gaseous NO2(g) decomposes, forming NO(g) and O2(g). If a vessel containing NO2(g) has an initial concentration of 1.9 102 mol/L, how long will it take for 75% of the NO2(g) to decompose? The decomposition of NO2(g) is second-order in the reactant and the rate constant for this reaction, at 573 K, is 1.1 L/mol s.arrow_forwardWhen phenacyl bromide and pyridine are both dissolved in methanol, they react to form phenacylpyridinium bromide. When equal concentrations of reactants were mixed in methanol at 35 C, these data were obtained: (a) Determine the rate law for this reaction. (b) Determine the overall order of this reaction. (c) Determine the rate constant for this reaction. (d) Determine the rate constant for this reaction when the concentration of each reactant is 0.030 mol/L.arrow_forwardThe Raschig reaction produces the industrially important reducing agent hydrazine, N2H4, from ammonia, NH3, and hypochlorite ion, OCl−, in basic aqueous solution.

Calculate by what factor the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction changes when the enzyme concentration is changed from 1.5 107 M to 4.5 106 M.arrow_forwardThe 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.)
