A particular gas-phase reaction has an equilibrium constant of 𝐾p=0.50. A mixture is prepared where all the reactants and products are in their standard states. Which direction will the reaction proceed?
Since all the reactants are in the standard state, k=1 because standard state refers to elements/reactants that are at 1 atm or 1mol. Then because the measured Qc is greater than the Kc, more reactants will be produced.

Since there are more reactants at the higher temperature, this is an exothermic reaction because you increased heat (a product in exothermic reactions) and got more reactants. This just follows along Chateliers Principle which dictates that when a system is under stress, it will move to relieve that stress. When you increase products at equilibrium you will get more reactants. When you increase reactants at equilibrium, you will get more products.

The energy profile showed a exothermic reaction. 𝑘forward=𝑘reverse kforward=kreverse 𝑘forward<𝑘reverse kforward<kreverse 𝑘forward>𝑘reverse kforward>kreverse What can you infer about the equilibrium constant? 𝐾>1 K>1 𝐾=1 K=1 𝐾<1
Exothermic reactions are more favored to react to the right because to go from products to reactants require a lot of energy. Thus, the reaction favors the right. Then you know that kforward>kreverse and you also know that k>1 because a large value of k represents a reaction favored for more products.
Use kinetic order to predict changes in reaction rate as a result of changes in reactant concentration.
If the rate order is 1, then the relationship between concentration and reaction rate is linear. For example, if you half the concentration of a first order reactant, then the reaction rate will also half. If the rate order is 0, then there is no change in reaction rate even if you change the concentration of the zero order reactant. If the rate order is 2, then the relationship between concentration and reaction rate is squared. If you change multiple concentrations of different rate order reactants, multiply the times of how much faster/slower the reaction occurs of each individual reactant change together not including zero.
How can one determine whether a step is the rate determining step in a reaction mechanism?
If the step had more bonds that need to be broken than any other step, it is most likely the rate determining step. This is due to the fact that bond breaking is endothermic and requires an input of energy which directly relates to activation energy. The higher the number of bonds that need to be broken, the higher the Ea. The higher the activation energy, the slower the reaction
rate
In a chemical reaction, the change in the concentration of a reactant or product per unit time.
What can you do whilst writing equilibrium constants that you can not do while writing reaction rates.
In equilibrium constants, the coefficient represents the coefficient of the reactant/product. In rate laws and rates, the exponent refers to the rate order which DOES NOT equal to the coefficient of the species.
The mechanism for the reaction of nitrogen dioxide with carbon monoxide to form nitric oxide and carbon dioxide is thought to involve the following elementary steps. NO2 + NO2 → NO3 + NO NO3 + CO → NO2 + CO2 It has not yet been determined which step is fast and which is slow. Which of the following interventions would enable you to conclusively determine the relative speeds of the two steps? Select all interventions that would be expected to give different results given the two possibilities for the relative speeds of the steps. Increase the concentration of NO2 Decrease the concentration of NO2 Increase the concentration of NO Increase the concentration of CO Decrease the concentration of NO Decrease the concentration of CO Decrease the concentration of NO3 Increase the concentration of NO3
Increasing and decreasing the concentrations of NO and CO because you simply write the rate law of both reactions considering each to be the rate determining reaction. Then you compare the two rate laws and the reactants with changing exponents/rate orders are the ones you can change concentrations of to observe which is the actual rate determining step.
