1. A chemical substance, A, is found to follow zero order kinetics, i.e. rate = k[A]0. Experimental data indicates that it takes 678 seconds for the molar concentration of A to decrease from 3.25 to 0.00893. Calculate the value of the rate constant and the half-life for this zero order process. [12]

2. On the coordinates provided, sketch a potential energy hill diagram for an endothermic reaction. Completely label the diagram. [8]
3. Write the equilibrium constant expressions, Kc, for the following reactions . . . .
  [a] CS2(g) + 4 H2(g) = CH4(g) + 2 H2S(l)
[4] [b] 2 NaHCO3(s) Na2CO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g)

4. On the coordinates provided, sketch a well-labeled diagram to illustrate how temperature influences the rate of a chemical reaction. [8]
5.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction N2O2(g) = N2(g) + O2(g) ; is 0.456 at 322 K. What is the value of Kc for the following reaction at 322 K ? [4]

                                          3 N2O2(g)  = 3 N2(g) +3 O2(g)

Consider the reaction : 4 Cl2(g) + 4 H2O(g) = 8 HCl(g) +2 O2(g)

0.42 mole of Cl2 and 0.56 mole of H2O(g) were sealed in a 2.00 liter vessel. When equilibrium was established, the flask was found to contain 0.160 mol of HCl. On the basis of this data calculate Kc. [10]

7.

Monoatomic chlorine will dimerize at 25°C : 2 Cl(g) =  Cl2(g);  Kc for this reaction is 3.80 at 25°C.

If one places 0.400 mol of Cl in a 500 mL container at 25°C and the system attains equilibrium, calculate the concentration of Cl2 at equilibrium. [12]
