Consider the equilibrium reaction shown below, which is first order with respect to each [A], [B], [C], and [D].
A + B = C + D with K1 for the forward reaction and K2 for the reverse reaction.
Use the following data:
For T=300K we have Keq= 9*10^-3 and K1=21.3 M^-1 sec^-1
For T=350K we have Keq= 1.6*10^-2 and K1= 3,696 M^-1 sec^-1
A) Find the activation energies for the forward and backward reaction (Eaf and Eab) and the pre-expontential factors (Af and Ab) in the Arrhenius rate expressions for k1 and k2.
B) A catalyst is added to the solution. It is found that the forward rate of the catalyzed reaction at 300 K, k1cat(300K), is equal to that for the uncatalyzed reaction (k1) at 600 K.
i) What is the equilibrium constant Keq(cat) of the catalyzed reaction at 300 K?
ii) What are the forward and backward activation energies (Ea(fc) and Ea(bc)) in the presence of the catalyst?

A single charcoal briquette has a mass of 0.1 kg, and is made up of almost entirely carbon. I want to burn that briquette in air in a sealed oven. When the combustion is complete, the gases in the oven will include CO2,O2,and N2, and the mole fraction of CO2 in this exhaust is 5%. How much air is needed (before the combustion)? Give your answer as kg, kg mole, and as a volume in m^3. For the last part, you'll use the ideal gas law. Assume that p= 1 atm, and T=400C

3,4-benzopyene (BP, C20H12) is a toxic aromatic hydrocarbon frequently found in polluted air. 5.0 liters of air (at standard temperature and pressure) is bubbled through 10 ml of dilute sulfuric acid, capturing the BP. 3.0 ml of this solution is diluted to 10 ml, and this final solution gives a fluorescence intensity of 205 (arbitrary units). A blank gave an intensity of 35 (same units). A solution containing 0.75 mg of BP per ml is prepared and 1.5 ml of the this solution is added to 3.0 ml of the initial BP solution, prior to dilution to 10 ml. This solution gives a fluorescence intensity of 294 (arbitrary units).
a) Calculate the mass of BP per liter of air.
b) Express this answer in terms of ppm and ppmv.

The enthalpy of a simple (and not particularly realistic) model system is given by
H = c1 TP + c2T2 /2
where c1 and c2 are constants.
1. Evaluate the partial derivatives (∂H/∂T)p and (∂H / ∂P)t . Demonstrate that these partial derivatives satisfy the appropriate Maxwell relations and also determine cP.
2. Construct the inexact differentials (dH)T, (dH)P, and the exact differential, dH .
3. Integrate these three differential quantities along the following two paths that connect the same two equilibrium states: (T1, P1) to (T2, P2).
Path 1: The temperature is first increased to T2 at constant pressure, P1. The pressure is then increased to P2 at constant temperature, T2.
Path 2: The pressure is first increased to P2 at constant temperature, T1. The temperature is then increased to T2 at constant pressure, P2.
Compare the integrated values for (ΔH)T, (ΔH)P, and ΔH obtained along the two paths.
