Worksheet 1

1. List 5 Factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction

2. Express the rate of reaction in terms of the rate of change of each reactant and each product in
the
following.

3. The reaction between MnO4¯ and H2O2 is as follows:

2 MnO4¯ + 5 H2O2 + 6 H+ → 2 Mn2+ + 8 H2O + 5 O2

In an experiment to monitor the rate of reaction, the following results were obtained:

a) Calculate the average reaction rate over each interval of 400 s.

b) Is the reaction zero order with respect to H2O2? Explain your answer.

4. For the reaction:

NO2(g) + CO(g) → NO(g) + CO2(g)

the variation of the initial rate with the initial concentration of NO2, with the initial
concentration of CO kept constant, was found to be as follows:

Deduce the order of the reaction with respect to NO2.
