CHEM 116-Dr. Babb s Section Answer Key to Exam II Lecture Problem Sheet 61. Integrated form of zeroth order rate law: [A] t = -kt + [A] 0 Half-life is the time it takes for half of original amount of reactant to react such that only half remains. For zeroth order reaction, half-life equation is J = [A] 0 /2k and half-life is not constant but directly proportional to initial concentration of reactant (J%[A] 0 or as [A] 0 8, J8). For zeroth order reaction, a plot of [A] t vs. t will yield a straight line. 62. Integrated form of first order rate law: ln[a] t = -kt + ln[a] 0 For first order reaction, half-life equation is J = ln2/k and half-life is a constant and not dependent on initial concentration of reactant. For first order reaction, a plot of ln[a] t vs. t will yield a straight line. A. [A] after 1 minute is 0.50 M; Half-life (J)=1.0 10 2 sec; it will take 2.0 10 2 sec for 75% of A to react; after three half-lives 0.094 M of A remains; the initial rate of the reaction is 0.0051 M/sec. 63. Integrated form of second order rate law: 1/[A] t = kt + 1/[A] 0 For second order reaction, half-life equation is J = 1/k[A] 0 and half-life is not constant but inversely proportional to initial concentration of reactant (J%1/[A] 0 or as [A] 0 8, J9). For first order reaction, a plot of 1/[A] t vs. t will yield a straight line. 64. Reaction is second order in [HI] and Rate Law is: Rate = k[hi] 2 ; k = 0.479 M -1 min -1 ; J=0.696 min; it will take 2.8 min for 20% of the original amount of HI to remain. 66. Net Rxn: 2 NO 2 + O 3 > N 2 O 5 + O 2 ; Both steps are bimolecular; Rate = k[no 2 ][O 3 ]; The NO 3 is an intermediate. 67. Net Rxn: 2 O 3 > 3 O 2 ; First elementary step is unimolecular while second is bimolecular; Rate = k[o 3 ][O]; The O is an intermediate. 68. Net Rxn: 2 O 3 > 3 O 2 ; First elementary step is unimolecular while second and third are bimolecular; the O and NO 2 are intermediates; the NO is a catalyst. 70. Activation Energy (E A )=1.66 10 5 J/mol; Pre-exponential factor (A) = 7.6 10 10 M -1 sec -1 ; Specific rate constant (k) at 427 C = 0.031 M -1 sec -1 71. Activation Energy (E A )=1.05 10 5 J/mol; Pre-exponential factor (A) = 8.49 10 13 M -1 sec -1 ; Specific rate constant (k) at 427 C = 0.17 sec -1 77. Numerical value of K depends only on T but does not depend on initial concentrations of reactants or products. 78. Since K C for this reaction is less than 1 and K C =k f /k r, then k r > k f. Since K C =[Products]/[Reactants] and for this reaction K C <1, then [Reactants]>[Products]. 79. Since K C for this reaction is greater than 1 and K C =k f /k r, then k f > k r. Since K C =[Products]/[Reactants] and for this reaction K C >1, then [Products]>[Reactants]. 80. When K C > 10 3, then [Products] >> [Reactants] and reaction proceeds essentially 100% to completion. When K C < 10-3, then [Reactants] >> [Products] and reaction proceeds hardly at all to completion. When 10-3 < K C < 10 3, then [Products] ~ [Reactants] and appreciable amounts (experimentally measurable quantities) of both reactants and products are present. 81. A. K c = [NO] 4 [H 2 O] 6 /[NH 3 ] 4 [O 2 ] 5 B. K c = [H 2 ] 4 /[H 2 O] 4

C. K c = [CO][Cl 2 ]/[COCl 2 ] D. K c = [PCl 5 ]/[PCl 3 ][Cl 2 ] E. K c = [NH + 4 ][OH - ]/[NH 3 ] F. K c = [H 2 O] G. K c = [CO 2 ] 82. Concentrations for pure solids, pure liquids and the solvent are not included in the equilibrium constant expression because these concentrations depend only on density and don t vary (i.e. are constant). These constant concentrations are already included into the numerical value of K. 83. A. 2.4 10-9 B. 6.9 10 25 C. 2.0 10 4 D. 4.9 10-5 85. A. K p = (p SO3 ) 2 /(p SO2 ) 2 (p O2 ) B. K p = (p NH3 ) 2 /(p H2 ) 3 (p N2 ) C. K p = (p NO ) 4 (p H2O ) 6 /(p NH3 ) 4 (p O2 ) 5 86. 3.4 87. K p =K c (RT) )n or K c =K p (RT) -)n 88. 4.03 10-4 89. 0.58; Whenever )n gas = 0, then K c =K p. 90. Reaction quotient (Q C ) has same form as K C except non-equilibrium or initial concentrations are used to calculate Q C. 91. Q C =6.25 and Q c > K c. Thus this reaction is not at equilibrium and will proceed from right to left in order to reach equilibrium. 92. If Q c > K c, reaction proceeds from right to left in order to reach eq. If Q c < K c, reaction proceeds from left to right in order to reach eq. If Q c = K c, reaction is at equilibrium and will not react in a net way in either direction. 93. Q C =0.202 and Q c < K c. Thus this reaction is not at equilibrium and will proceed from left to right in order to reach equilibrium and more gaseous CO will be formed. 94. A. Q C =6.62 10-4 and Q c > K c. Thus this reaction is not at equilibrium and will proceed from right to left in order to reach equilibrium. B. Q C =3.07 10-4 and Q c = K c. Thus this reaction is at equilibrium and will not react in a net way in either direction. C. Q C =1.62 10-5 and Q c < K c. Thus this reaction is not at equilibrium and will proceed from left to right in order to reach equilibrium. 95. A. 2 ICl(g) < > I 2 (g) + Cl 2 (g) K c =0.1 Initial: 0 0.22M 0.22M Change: +0.26M -0.13M -0.13M At Eq: 0.26M 0.09 M 0.09M B. H 2 (g) + I 2 (g) < > 2 HI(g) K c =137 Initial: 0 0 5.000M Change: +0.365M +0.365 M -0.730M At Eq: 0.365M 0.365M 4.270M

C. 3 A + 2 B < > C + 2 D K c =9.6 10-4 Initial: 6.00M 2.00M 1.00M 0 Change: -0.75M -0.50M +0.25M 0.50M At Eq: 5.25M 1.50M 1.25M 0.50M 96. [Cl 2 ] = [PCl 3 ] = 0.22 M; [PCl 5 ]=0.03 M 97. 1.12 10-2 M 98. p NO2 =2.1 atm; p N2O4 =18 atm 102. A. reaction proceeds from left to right in order to regain eq. B. reaction proceeds from right to left in order to regain eq. C. reaction proceeds from left to right in order to regain eq. 103. Addition of more solid BaSO 4 or BaO will have no effect on the eq. because concentrations of pure solids are not included in the eq. constant expression. 104. If total pressure is altered, the numerical value of K is not changed. The only factor influencing the value of K is temperature. However, a change in the total pressure does change the partial pressures of gaseous species and may remove the reaction from eq. 105. as P increases V decreases and reaction will proceed toward side of equation that occupies less volume. This means that reaction will proceed toward side of equation that has less moles of gas. In this instance, reaction will proceed toward the reactants in order to regain eq. 106. as P decreases due to V increase reaction will proceed toward side of equation that occupies more volume (i.e. toward side of equation with more moles of gas). However, in this case both sides of equation have same # moles of gas and thus occupy same volume. As a result, the eq. of this reaction is unaffected by changes in P due to V change. 107. as T increases, K C decreases or as T decreases, K C increases for an exothermic reaction. 108. as T increases, K C increases or as T decreases, K C decreases for an endothermic reaction. 109. as T increases, Heat increases so heat on the product side is increased and reaction will proceed from right to left in order to regain eq. 110. as T increases, Heat increases so heat on reactant side is increased and reaction will proceed from left to right in order to regain eq.
