of the solute would be extracted from the aqueous solution by a further 100
ml of ether? (5 marks)

3. (a) Given that the reactants CO and Cl2 in the following reactions have the same
concentration.
CO(g) + Cl2 (g) → COCl2 (g)
If its rate at 250˚C is 1.5 × 103 times as fast as the rate of the same reaction at
150˚C, calculate the activation energy of this reaction. (4 marks)
(b) Briefly explain the following:
i. The reaction between H2(g) and O2(g) is highly feasible yet allowing the gases
to stand at room temperature in the same vessel does not lead to the formation
of water.
ii. Oxygen is available in plenty in air yet fuels do not burn by themselves at room
temperature.
iii. The probability of the reaction with molecularity higher than three is very rare
iv. The order of a reaction cannot be determined by taking into consideration the
balanced chemical equation. (4 marks)

(c) Doubling the concentration of A in the reaction,

aA + bB → Products
doubles the rate of the reaction. Moreover, doubling the concentration of
both reactants causes the reaction rate to increase by a factor of 4.

ii. What is the overall reaction order? (4 marks)

(d) At 380˚C, the half-life period for a first order decomposition of H 2O2 is 360min.

required for 75% decomposition at 450˚C (5 marks)
(e) The disproportionation of H2O2 into H2O and O2 has an enthalpy of reaction of
-98.2 kJmol-1 and activation energy barrier of 75.0 kJmol-1. Iodide ions act as a
catalyst for the reaction with an activation energy barrier of 56.0 kJmol -1. The
enzyme catalase is also a catalyst for this reaction and its pathway has an
activation barrier of 23.0 kJmol-1. Draw a labelled potential energy diagram for
this process both with and without the catalysts. (3 marks)
