The reaction
2A →B
is second order in A with a rate constant of 35.1
M−1 · s−1 at 25°C.
(a) Starting with [A]0 = 0.00781 M, how long
will it take for the concentration of A to drop to 0.00180
M?

2. Given the same reactant concentrations, the reaction CO(g) + Cl2(g) →COCl2(g) at 229°C is 32.8 times as fast as the same reaction at 161°
C. Calculate the activation energy for this reaction. Assume
that the frequency factor is constant.
kJ/mol
The reaction H2(g) +
I2(g) → 2HI(g) proceeds via a two-step
mechanism in which the rate law for the rate-determining step
israte = k[H2][I]2.
