Suppose you are studying the kinetics of the iodine-catalyzed decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. 2 H 2 O 2 ⟶ 2 H 2 O + O 2 If you determine the initial rate is 7.50 × 10 − 4 M/s when [ H 2 O 2 ] = 0.546 M and [ K I ] = 0.212 M , what is the rate constant? Assume that the order of both reactants is 1.

Two nitro no2 groups are chemically bonded to a patch of surface. they can't move to another location on the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right). it turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each no2 group can have is required to be a multiple of ε, where =ε×1.010−24 j. in other words, each no2 group could have ε of rotational kinetic energy, or 2ε, or 3ε, and so forth — but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy. suppose the total rotational kinetic energy in this system is initially known to be 32ε. then, some heat is removed from the system, and the total rotational kinetic energy falls to 18ε. calculate the change in entropy. round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.

Acompound contains c, h, and o atoms. when 1.130 g of the compound is burned in oxygen, 1.064 g co2 and 0.3631 g h2o are produced. what is the empirical formula of this compound?

Aglow stick contains a glass vial with chemicals. when the glow stick is bent, the vial breaks and the chemicals react to produce a glow. a science student observes that a glow stick kept in the freezer glows for a longer duration than a glow stick kept at room temperature. what conclusion can be drawn based on the observation? be sure to note the outcome and test variables in the conclusion.
