Include units. c. Calculate the concentration of A in Experiment 1 at t =30.sarrow_forwardConsider the following statements: In general, the rate of a chemical reaction increases a bit at first because it takes a while for the reaction to get warmed up. After that, however, the rate of the reaction decreases because its rate is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and these are decreasing. Indicate everything that is correct in these statements, and indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect statements and explain.arrow_forward

- If a textbook defined a catalyst as "a substance that increases the rate of a reaction," would that definition be adequate?arrow_forwardCobra venom helps the snake secure food by binding to acetylcholine receptors on the diaphragm of a bite victim, leading to the loss of function of the diaphragm muscle tissue and eventually death. In order to develop more potent antivenins, scientists have studied what happens to the toxin once it has bound the acetylcholine receptors. They have found that the toxin is released from the receptor in a process that can be described by the rate law Rate = k [acetylcholine receptortoxin complex] If the activation energy of this reaction at 37.0C is 26.2 kJ/mol and A = 0.850 s1. what is the rate of reaction if you have a 0.200M solution of receptor-toxin complex at 37.0C?arrow_forwardExperiments show that the reaction of nitrogen dioxide with fluorine, 2 NO2(g) + F2(g) —* 2 FNO2(g) has the rate law Rate = *[NO2][FJ The reaction is thought to occur in two steps. Step 1: NO2(g) + F,(g) —* FNO,(g) + F(g) Step 2: NO2(g) + F(g) — FNO2(g) Show that the sum of this sequence of reactions gives the balanced equation for the overall reaction.
