Name:____________________________________________________________________ 1.What changes would alter the rate constant (k) for the reaction 2A + B p products?

2.If Ea for a certain biological reaction is 50. kJ/mol, by what factor (how many times) will the rate of this reaction increase when body temperature increases from 37C (normal) to 40C (fever)?

3.At 30C, by how much is a reaction's activation energy decreased by the addition of a catalyst if the catalyst triples the reaction rate?

4.The activation energy for the following reaction is 60. kJ/mol. Sn2+ + 2Co3+ p Sn4+ + 2Co2+ By what factor (how many times) will the rate constant increase when the temperature is raised from 10C to 28C?

5.Calculate the activation energy, in kJ/mol, for the redox reaction Sn2+ + 2Co3+ p Sn4+ + 2Co2+. Temp (C) k (1/Ms) 2 3.12 v 103 27 27.0 v 103

6.According to the collision theory, all collisions do not lead to reaction. Name 2 reasons why not all collisions between reactant molecules lead to reaction?

7. A reaction mechanism usually is A) the same as the balanced chemical equation. B) restricted to only one possible explanation. C) obvious if the reaction order is known. D) difficult, if not impossible, to prove. E) obvious if the activation energy is known. 8.The rate law for the reaction H2O2 + 2H+ + 2I p I2 + 2H2O is rate = k[H2O2][I ]. The following mechanism has been suggested. slow H2O2 + I p HOI + OH + fast OH + H p H2O + fast HOI + H + I p I2 + H2O Identify all intermediates included in this mechanism.

9.For the reaction X2 + Y + Z p XY + XZ, it is found that the rate equation is rate = k [X2][Y]. Why does the concentration of Z have no effect on the rate?
