Which three factors affect the rate of a chemical reaction?
- A.
Catalyst, Product Concentration, Container Volume
- B.
Temperature, Reactant Concentration, Pressure
- C.
Temperature, Reactant Concentration, Catalyst
- D.
Temperature, Product Concentration, Container Volume
Correct Answer
C. Temperature, Reactant Concentration, CatalystExplanation
The rate of a chemical reaction can be influenced by several factors. One of the factors is temperature, as an increase in temperature generally leads to an increase in the rate of reaction due to the higher kinetic energy of the molecules. Another factor is reactant concentration, as a higher concentration of reactants increases the likelihood of successful collisions between particles, leading to a faster reaction rate. Lastly, the presence of a catalyst can also affect the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, thereby increasing the rate.Rate this question:

![In the reaction 2A + B --> 2C + D, the -[A] per time was found to be 5.0 . What is the rate of change of B? - ProProfs](data:image/png;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs= "In the reaction 2A + B --> 2C + D, the -[A] per time was found to be 5.0 . What is the rate of change of B?")
In the reaction 2A + B --> 2C + D, the -[A] per time was found to be 5.0 . What is the rate of change of B?
- A.
25 M/min
- B.
10 M/min
- C.
2.5 M/min
- D.
5.0 M/min
Correct Answer
C. 2.5 M/minExplanation
The rate of change of B can be determined by comparing the coefficients of B in the balanced chemical equation. In this reaction, the coefficient of B is 1, while the coefficient of C is also 1. Since the reaction is 2A + B --> 2C + D, the rate of change of B is equal to half the rate of change of C. Therefore, if the rate of change of C is 5.0 M/min, the rate of change of B would be 2.5 M/min.Rate this question:

Consider the reaction which ammonia is synthesized from nitrogen and hydrogen gases: How is the rate of formation of ammonia related to the rate of consumption of hydrogen?
- A.
The rate of formation of ammonia is two thirds the rate of consumption of hydrogen
- B.
The rate of formation of ammonia is half the rate of consumption of hydrogen
- C.
The rate of formation of ammonia is equal to the rate of consumption of hydrogen
- D.
The rate of formation of ammonia is 1/5 times the rate of consumption of hydrogen
Correct Answer
A. The rate of formation of ammonia is two thirds the rate of consumption of hydrogenExplanation
The rate of formation of ammonia being two thirds the rate of consumption of hydrogen suggests that for every three moles of hydrogen consumed, two moles of ammonia are formed. This indicates that the reaction is not stoichiometrically balanced, and that there is an excess of hydrogen in the reaction. As a result, the rate of formation of ammonia is slower compared to the rate of consumption of hydrogen.Rate this question:

Use the information below to determine the order of the reaction with respect to the concentration of A. A + B --> P Trial [A] [B] rate 1 0.273 0.763 2.83 2 0.273 1.526 2.83 3 0.819 0.763 25.47
- A.
3
- B.
4
- C.
2
- D.
1
Correct Answer
C. 2Explanation
The order of the reaction with respect to the concentration of A can be determined by comparing the rates of reaction for different concentrations of A while keeping the concentration of B constant. In this case, the concentration of B is constant at 0.763. By comparing trials 1 and 2, where the concentration of A is the same but the concentration of B is different, we can see that the rate of reaction remains the same. This suggests that the concentration of A does not affect the rate of reaction, indicating that the order of the reaction with respect to A is 0. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.Rate this question:

Activation energy is required to initiate
- A.
Endothermic reactions only.
- B.
Neither exothermic or endothermic reactions.
- C.
Both exothermic and endothermic reactions.
- D.
Exothermic reactions only.
Correct Answer
C. Both exothermic and endothermic reactions.Explanation
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction. It is needed for both exothermic and endothermic reactions because it helps break the existing bonds in the reactants and form new bonds in the products. This energy barrier must be overcome for the reaction to proceed, regardless of whether the reaction releases energy (exothermic) or absorbs energy (endothermic). Therefore, activation energy is required for both types of reactions.Rate this question:

- D.
Activation energy
Correct Answer
B. Heat of reactionExplanation
The heat of reaction refers to the difference in potential energy between the products and the reactants in a chemical reaction. It represents the amount of heat energy released or absorbed during the reaction. This energy difference determines whether the reaction is exothermic (releasing heat) or endothermic (absorbing heat). Therefore, the given correct answer is "heat of reaction."Rate this question:

Which condition will increase the rate of a chemical reaction?
- A.
Increased temperature and decreased concentration of reactants
- B.
Increased temperature and increased concentration of reactants
- C.
Decreased temperature and decreased concentration of reactants
- D.
Decreased temperature and increased concentration of reactants.
Correct Answer
B. Increased temperature and increased concentration of reactantsExplanation
Increasing the temperature of a chemical reaction provides more energy to the reactant molecules, causing them to move faster and collide more frequently. This leads to an increase in the rate of the reaction. Similarly, increasing the concentration of reactants means that there are more particles available to collide with each other, resulting in a higher rate of reaction. Therefore, both increasing the temperature and the concentration of reactants will increase the rate of a chemical reaction.Rate this question:

Given the reaction: 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) --> 2 SO3(g) The rate of the forward reaction increases by adding more SO2 because the
- A.
Number of molecular collisions will increase
- B.
Temperature will increase
- C.
Forward reaction is endothermic
- D.
Reaction will shift to the left
Correct Answer
A. Number of molecular collisions will increaseExplanation
By adding more SO2, the number of molecular collisions will increase. In a chemical reaction, the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the number of collisions between reactant molecules. By increasing the amount of SO2, there are more molecules available to collide with the other reactant, O2. This increases the likelihood of successful collisions, leading to a higher rate of the forward reaction.Rate this question:

The decomposition of nitrogen dioxide to nitrogen and oxygen is second-order with a rate constant k = 12.5 M-1 s-1. What is the half-life for the reaction if [NO2]0 = 0.00260 M
- A.
30.8 sec
- B.
0.0800 sec
- C.
0.0554 sec
- D.
61.5
Correct Answer
A. 30.8 secExplanation
The half-life of a second-order reaction can be calculated using the formula t1/2 = 1 / (k * [A]0), where k is the rate constant and [A]0 is the initial concentration of the reactant. In this case, the rate constant is given as 12.5 M-1 s-1 and the initial concentration of NO2 is 0.00260 M. Plugging these values into the formula, we get t1/2 = 1 / (12.5 * 0.00260) = 30.8 seconds. Therefore, the half-life for the reaction is 30.8 seconds.Rate this question:

Adding a suitable catalyst
- B.
Increasing the concentrations of reactants
- C.
Raising the temperature of the reaction
- D.
All of these options will lower the activation energy for a reaction
- E.
There is no way to lower the activation energy of a reaction
Correct Answer
A. Adding a suitable catalystExplanation
Adding a suitable catalyst will lower the activation energy for a reaction. A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy. It achieves this by lowering the energy barrier that the reactants must overcome to form products. Therefore, adding a suitable catalyst reduces the amount of energy needed for the reaction to occur, making it easier for the reaction to take place.Rate this question:

Refer to the equation below, where two mechanisms are proposed for the reaction of nitrogen dioxide with carbon monoxide: NO2(g) + CO(g) --> CO2(g) + NO(g) Mechanism I: NO2(g) + CO(g) --> CO2(g) + NO(g) (one step) Mechanism II: NO2(g) + NO2(g) --> NO3(g) + NO(g) (slow) NO3(g) + CO(g) --> CO2(g) + NO2(g) (fast) What is the predicted rate law for Mechanism II?
- A.
Rate=k[NO2]
- B.
Rate=k[NO2][CO]
- C.
Rate=k[NO2]^2[CO]
- D.
Rate=k[NO2]^2
Correct Answer
D. Rate=k[NO2]^2Explanation
The predicted rate law for Mechanism II is rate=k[NO2]^2. This is because the slow step in the mechanism involves the reaction NO2(g) + NO2(g) --> NO3(g) + NO(g), which is second order with respect to NO2. Therefore, the overall rate law for the mechanism is rate=k[NO2]^2.Rate this question:

What factors can alter the rate of a reaction?
- A.
Temperature
- B.
Molocule size
- C.
X ray absorption
- D.
Absorptivity
Correct Answer
A. TemperatureExplanation
Temperature is a factor that can alter the rate of a reaction. Increasing the temperature generally increases the kinetic energy of the molecules, leading to more frequent and energetic collisions between reactant molecules. This results in a higher reaction rate as more successful collisions occur, increasing the likelihood of effective collisions and the formation of products. On the other hand, decreasing the temperature lowers the kinetic energy, reducing the frequency and energy of collisions, and thus decreasing the reaction rate. Therefore, temperature plays a crucial role in determining the rate of a reaction.Rate this question:

- B.
Neither exothermic or endothermic reactions.
- C.
Both exothermic and endothermic reactions.
- D.

Correct Answer
C. Both exothermic and endothermic reactions.Explanation
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. It acts as a barrier that must be overcome for the reaction to proceed. This energy is needed for both exothermic and endothermic reactions because regardless of whether the reaction releases or absorbs energy, an initial input of energy is necessary to break the existing bonds and form new ones. Therefore, activation energy is required for both types of reactions.Rate this question:

A collision model can only happen when two molecules collide just right?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
False. A collision model can happen even if two molecules do not collide "just right." In the collision model, molecules collide with each other and undergo reactions, but the success of the reaction does not solely depend on the collision being perfect. Factors like the energy and orientation of the collision also play a crucial role in determining whether a reaction will occur. Thus, a collision model can involve collisions that are not perfect or ideal.Rate this question:
