of reaction in the reaction A + 2 B + C → 2 D + E.

(a) What are the reaction orders with respect to A,


B,and C?

(b) What is the value of R5 in terms of R1?


Question 2

For the reaction A + 2B → 2C , the rate of reaction is 1.76 x10-5 M/s at the time when [A] = 0.3580
M.

(a) What is the rate of formation of C?

(b) What will be [A] 1.00 min later?


Question 3

(a) Consider the combustion of hydrogen, 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g) . If hydrogen is burning
at a rate of 0.5 M/s, what is the rate of consumption of oxygen? What is the rate of
formation of water vapor?

(b) The reaction 2 NO(g) + Cl2(g) → 2NOCl(g) is carried out in a closed vessel. If the partial
pressure of NO is decreasing at the rate of 60 kPa/min, what is the rate of change of the
total pressure of the vessel?
Question 4

Consider the following reaction:


C2H5Cl(aq) + OH-(aq) → C2H5OH(aq) + Cl-(aq)
The rate law for this reaction is first order in C2H5Cl and first order in OH-. When
[C2H5Cl]=4.0 x 10-3 M and [OH-]=2.5 x 10-2 M, the reaction rate at 310 K is 5.20 x 10-2 M/s.
(a) What is the value of the rate constant?
(b) What are the units of the rate constant?
(c) What would happen to the rate if the concentration of OH- were cut in half?
(d) What would happen to the rate if the concentration of both reactants were cut in half?
Question 5

The internal energy of a fixed quantity of an ideal gas depends only on its temperature. A
sample of an ideal gas is allowed to expand at a constant temperature (isothermal expansion).

(a) Does the gas do work?


(b) Does the gas exchange heat with its surroundings?
(c) What happens to the temperature of the gas?
(d)What is ΔU for the gas?
Question 6

pressure (100 kPa) and constant temperature (298 K):

2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l)

a) Calculate the pressure-volume work for this reaction.

b) Calculate ΔU for the reaction using your answer to (a).
