36. The acid-catalyzed reaction of acetone, CH3COCH3, with iodine can be represented by the
following net reaction:
CH3COCH3 + I2 CH2ICOCH3 + H+ + I–
It is found experimentally that the rate law for this reaction is Rate = k[CH3COCH3][H+].
Suppose that in trial 1, the initial rate of the reaction is measured with the initial
concentrations of acetone, iodine, and hydrogen ion all equal to 0.10 M. Then, in trial 2, the
initial rate of the reaction is measured with the initial concentrations all equal to 0.20 M.
The initial rate of trial 2 will be larger than the initial rate of trial 1 by a factor of
37. The rate law for the hydrolysis of thioacetamide (CH3CSNH2),
CH3CSNH2(aq) + H2O(l) → H2S(g) + CH3CONH2(aq)
is Rate = k[H+][CH3CSNH2]. If, during the course of the reaction, some solid sodium
hydroxide is added to the reaction mixture, then
the reaction rate decreases, but k remains the same.
the reaction rate remains the same, but k decreases.
the reaction rate increases, but k remains the same.
there is no change in the reaction rate or the rate constant.
the reaction rate remains the same, but k increases.
38. The rate law for the reaction between chlorine and nitric oxide,
2NO(g) + Cl2(g) → 2NOCl(g)
is Rate = k[NO]2[Cl2]. Which of the following changes will not alter the initial rate of the
reaction?
increasing the concentration of NOCl
decreasing the volume of the reaction system
running the reaction in a solvent rather than in the gas phase
increasing the volume of the reaction system
increasing the concentration of chlorine gas
