In unpolluted air at 300 K, the hydroxyl radical OH reactswith CO with a bimolecular rate constant of 1.6 × 101' Lmol-1 s-1 and with CH4 with a rate constant of 3.8 ×10° L mol¬1 s-1. Take the partial pressure of CO in air tobe constant at 1.0 × 10-7 atm and that of CH4 to be 1.7 x10-6 atm, and assume that these are the primary mecha-nisms by which OH is consumed in the atmosphere. Cal-culate the half-life of OH under these conditions.

The protein calcineurin binds to the protein calmodulin with an association rate of 8.9 x 103M-1s-1and an overall dissociation constant, Kd, of 10 nM. Calculate the dissociation rate, kd, including appropriate units.
The first step in the heterogeneoushydrogenation of ethylene is adsorption of theethylene molecule on a metal surface. One proposed explanation for the “sticking” of ethylene to a metalsurface is the interaction of the electrons in the C—C π bond with vacant orbitals on the metal surface. (a) If thisnotion is correct, would ethane be expected to adsorb to a metal surface, and, if so, how strongly would ethane bindcompared to ethylene? (b) Based on its Lewis structure,would you expect ammonia to adsorb to a metal surfaceusing a similar explanation as for ethylene?
The first-order rate constant, k1, for the decomposition of ampicillin at pH 5.8 and 35?C is k1 = 2 × 10-7 sec-1. The solubility of ampicillin is 1.1 g/100 mL. If it is desired to prepare a suspension of the drug containing 2.5 g/100 mL, calculate the zero-order rate constant, k0, and the shelf-life, that is, the time in days required for the drug to decompose to 90% of its original concentration (at 35?C) in solution. Note: 100 mL = 1 deciliter = 1 dL.

Conventional equilibrium considerations do not apply when a reaction is driven by light absorption and the steady-state concentration of products and reactants might differ significantly from equilibrium values. For instance, suppose the reaction A → B is driven by light absorption, and that its rate is Ia, but that the reverse reaction B → A is bimolecular and second order with a rate kr[B]2. What is the stationary state concentration of B? Why does this ‘photostationary state’ differ from the equilibrium state?
