Answers
1. (a)  rate = k[A]2[B]3
           runs 1&2 establish 5th order overala
           runs 3&4 establish 3rd order in B (if triple [B], rate 27x)
           runs 1&3 establish 2nd order in A (increase [A] by 1.5x, rate 2.25x)

   (b)  rate = k[A]2[B]3
         0.150 M/s = k [M5k = 0.150 M-4s-1

   (c)  rate = [0.150][3]5 = 36.5 M/s

2.  (a) ln (A0/At) = kt
           ln (100/30) = k(10 min)      k = 0.12 min-1
     (b) ln (100/5) = (0.12)t              t = 25 min
     (c) ln (100/At) = (.12)((17.5) At = 12.2  or 12.2%

3.  (a) Ea = (R)[(T1T2)/(T2-T1)]ln (k2/k1) = (0.00831)[(350)(300)/(50)]ln 8 = 36.3 kJ/mol

     (b) ln (k2/k1) =  (Ea /R)[(T2 - T1)/(T1T2)]  = (36.3/.00831)[(400-300)/(300)(400)]  = 3.64
         (k2/0.10 s-1) = 38       k2 = 3.8 s-1

4.   A2(g) +  B2(g)  2 AB(g)
    Eq:  3-x         3-x           3+2x

    (3+2x)/(3-x) = 4       x = 1.50     [A2] = [B2] = 1.50M         [AB] = 6.00M

5.    A  +  B   AB      T = 300K
       2-x    2-x      2+x

      (a)  (2+x)/(2-x)2 = 1
             x2 - 5x +2 = 0          x = 0.44        [A] = [B] = 1.56M      [AB] = 2.44M

      (b) Kp = Kc(RT)Dn
                  = (1)[(0.0821)(300)]-1 = 0.041

6.   (a) Reaction exothermic, SHIFTS RIGHT when Temperature decreased
      (b) K =[A2B2]/[A]2[B]2 = 2/(22)(22) = 1/8   SHIFTS RIGHT
      (c) If pressure decreased, favors greater # gas molecules, SHIFTS LEFT
      (d) Q = 3/(12)(22) = 3/4     SHIFTS RIGHT
      (e)

     (f) Reactant closer to transition state in terms of energy.
     (g) When equilibrium reached, there will be much more product than reactant  (see energy profile).

7. (a) Increasing the temperature dramatically increases the number of effective collisions.
    (b) These concentrations are constant and can be represented in K.
    (c) The slow step has the higher energy barrier and it is assumed the slow step takes about the same
          time as the slow and fast steps combined.
    (d) Half-life defined as the time required for half the initial concentration to react. Therefore, it is
          independent of initial concentration.
