Duration: 10 days

Part I: CONSTRUCTED QUESTIONS (70pts)


1. (20pts) Given the reverse reaction:
2H2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇄ 2H2O (g) ; ΔHo = -242 kJ/mol
List all below factors that shift reaction to right (forward reaction):
a) Increase temperature;
b) Decrease temperature;
c) Hít hà all O2;
d) Remove H2;
e) Use all water to make cocktail;
f) Supply O2 by photosynthesis in plant;
g) Maintain H2O concentration;
h) Use catalyst;
i) Steal H2 form rocket and supply to this reaction;
j) Increase pressure of the system.

2. The decomposition of N2O5 proceeds according to the following equation:


2 N2O5 (g) → 4 NO2 (g) + O2 (g)
If the rate of decomposition of N2O5 at a particular instant in a reaction vessel is 4.2
×10–7 M/s, what is the rate of appearance of :
a) NO2 (5pts)
b) O2 (5pts)

3. Consider a reaction A + B → C for which = k[A][B]2. Each of the following boxes

represents a reaction mixture in which A is shown as red spheres and B as purple ones.
Rank these mixtures in order of increasing rate of reaction and show your answer. (10pts)
4. The following data were measured for the reaction of nitric oxide with hydrogen:
2 NO (g) + 2H2 (g) → N2 (g) + 2 H2O (g)

EXPERIMENT [NO] [H2] INITIAL RATE

a) Determine the rate law for this reaction by showing your calculation. (6pts)
b) Calculate the rate constant. (4pts)

5. In a close container with 1 mol/L of ammonia at 0oC, 1atm. Heat this container to 546oC
with the decomposition reaction of ammonia. When this reaction reaches equilibrium,
pressure in container is 3.3 atm. Calculate the equilibrium constant of decomposition
reaction. Assume that the volume not change. (5pts)

2NH3 ⇄ N2 + 3H2

50.00 mL of acetic acid, CH3COOH, 0.20M. The temperature is 25oC. (10pts)
Given: Ka value for acetic acid at 25oC is 1.80 x 10-5.

7. The reaction is believed to occur in two steps:


O3 (g) + NO2 (g) → NO3 (g) + O2 (g)
NO3 (g) + NO2 (g) → N2O5 (g)

rates of the two steps of the mechanism? (5pts)
