1. (0,5 points) Above room temperature, compound A reacts slowly to form products.

A → products

Plot graphs (using color from table “Student”) to determine the reaction order.
Determine the rate law and calculate the rate constant (do not forget units for rate
constant).

Time (s) [A] (M)

0 1.00 × 10−2
60 6.83 × 10−3
120 5.18 × 10−3
180 4.18 × 10−3
240 3.50 × 10−3
300 3.01 × 10−3
360 2.64 × 10−3
2. (0,5 points) For the following reaction, write how the each of the changes will affect
the indicated quantity, assuming a container of fixed size. Write “increase”,
“decrease”, or “no change”. (Or use an “up” arrow to indicate “increase”, and a
“down” arrow to indicate “decrease”.) (For a chemical added, write how it would
respond AFTER the addition.)

3. (0,5 point) At temperatures near 800°C, steam passed over hot coke (a form of carbon
obtained from coal) reacts to form CO and H2:

The mixture of gases that results is an important industrial fuel called water gas.
(a) At 800°C the equilibrium constant for this reaction is Kp= 14.1. What are the
equilibrium partial pressures of H2O, CO, and H2 in the equilibrium mixture at this
temperature if we start with solid carbon and 0.100 mol of H2O in a 1.00-L vessel?
(b) What is the minimum amount of carbon required to achieve equilibrium under these
conditions?
(c) What is the total pressure in the vessel at equilibrium?
(d) At 25°C the value of Kp for this reaction is 1.7 10–21. Is the reaction exothermic or
endothermic? (Le Châtelier’s principle!!!)
(e) To produce the maximum amount of CO and H2 at equilibrium, should the pressure of
the system be increased or decreased? ((Le Châtelier’s principle!!!)
4. (0,1 point) Complete and balance this equation for a redox reaction that takes place in
basic solution:

5. (0,1 point) The two half-reactions in a voltaic cell are:

(a) Indicate which reaction occurs at the anode and which at the cathode.
(b) Which electrode is consumed in the cell reaction?
(c) Which electrode is positive?
6. (0,1 point) A voltaic cell is based on a Co2+/Co half-cell and an AgCl/Ag half-cell.
(a) What reaction occurs at the anode?
(b) What is the standard cell potential?
7. (0,2 point) Balance the following reaction:

(a) What is the value of n?

(b) Use the literature data (for example: this source) to calculate ∆G°.
(c) Calculate K at T = 298 K.
