The decomposition of formic acid (see below) is measured at several temperatures.

HCOOH(g) CO2(g) +H2(g)

The temperature dependence of the first-order rate constant is:

T(K) . . . . k(s-1)

Calculate the activation energy, in kJ/mol.

Use all data points and do a linear regression using calculator or Excel. Do not pick 2 data points. This is less accurate and assumes all data points are equally qood.

Question 17

When formic acid is heated, it decomposes to hydrogen and carbon dioxide in a first-order decay:

HCOOH(g) CO2(g) + H2 (g)

The rate of reaction is monitored by measuring the total pressure in the reaction container.

Time (s) . . . Ptot (torr)
0 . . . . . . . . . 220
50 . . . . . . . . 324
100 . . . . . . . 379
150 . . . . . . . 408
200 . . . . . . . 423
250 . . . . . . . 431
300 . . . . . . . 435

At the start of the reaction (time = 0), only formic acid is present. What is the formic acid pressure (in torr) when the total pressure is 235? Hint: use Dalton's law of partial pressure and the reaction stoichiometry.

Question 18

What is the half-life (in s)?

Answer:

[A] [B] Init. Rate 0.020 0.15 0.055 0.035 0.15 0.096 0.050 0.35 0.75

Explanation / Answer

Solution :-

Q1). 2A + B ----- > C + D

Therefore the rate law is

Rate = K [A]^2 [B]

So the value of the x= 2

And value of y= 1

Q2) using the concentration and the rate lets calculate the order of each reactant

Calculating the order with A

Rate 2 / rate 1 = ([A]2/[A]1)^m

0.096/0.055 = [0.035/0.020]^m

1.745 = 1.75 ^m

Log 1.745 = m* log 1.75

Log 1.745 / log 1.75 = m

m= 1

now lets calculate the order with B

rate 3/rate 2 = ([B]3/[B]2)^n

0.75/0.096 = [0.35/0.15]^n

7.8125 = 2.333^n

n= 2

so the order with B is second order

now lets write the rate law

Rate =K [A][B]^2

  Lets calculate the rate constant

0.055 = K [0.020][0.15]^2

K = 0.055 / [0.020][0.15]^2

K= 122

So the rate constant = 122

Q3)

2NOCl ---- > 2NO + Cl2

Second order reaction

K = 15.4 atm s-1

Initial = 85 torr

Final = 19.9 torr

Tiem = ?

1/[A]t = 1/[A]o + K* t

1/(19.9/760) = (1/(85/760)) + 15.4 * t

38.19= 8.94+ 15.4 * t

( 38.19-8.94)/ 15. 4 = t

X= 1.9 s

So the time needed is 1.9 s

Q4) initial concentration [NOCl] =0.0149 M

Final = 0.0016 M

Time = ?

We know the rate constant = 15.4 atm s-1

1/[A]t = 1/[A]o + kt

1/0.0016 = (1/0.0149) + 15.4 * t

625 = 67.11 * 15.4 * t

625 – 67.11 /15.4 =t

36.2 s = t
