We want to speed up a random endothermic reaction. Lets assume we have complete knowledge of the structures of our intermediates and products. What could we try to do to make the endothermic reaction go faster? Why? Provide at least two strategies.

Solutions

Expert Solution

We can take Lechatlier's Principles help here.

1. For an endothermic reaction increasing temperature might be a best option to reaction go faster.

2. If we can remove the product(s) then the reaction go faster (OR) increasing reactant(s) concentration also makes reaction go faster.

3. Introducing a positive catalyst also makes reaction go faster, as we know catalyst decreases activation energy therby makes reaction go faster.

4. If reactants and products are both in gaseous state and reactant moles are higher than product moles increasing pressure will makes reaction go faster and in the same way if reactants moles are lesser than product moles then decreasing pressure makes reaction go faster.

5. If solvent plays a major role as either polar or non-polar then according to the condition performing reaction under polar or non-polar environment will makes reaction go faster.

Thank You So Much! Please Rate this answer as you wish.

Lets apply the Chi-square Test of Independence to our example where we have as random sample of 500 U.S. adults who are questioned regarding their political affiliation and opinion on a tax reform bill. We will test if the political affiliation and the opinion on a tax reform bill are dependent at a 5% level of significance. The observer contingency table is given below. Also we often want to include each cell's expected count and contribution to the Chi-square test...
