56. Ethylene oxide is produced from the reaction of ethylene and oxygen at
270-290 °C and 8-20 atm. In order to prevent potentially dangerous pressure buildups, the
container in which this reaction takes place has a safety valve set to release gas when the
pressure reaches 25 atm. If a 15-m3 reaction vessel contains 7.8 × 103 moles of gas, at what
temperature will the pressure reach 25 atm? (There are 103 L per m3.)

the gas be heated to increase the pressure to 12 atm?

surface of Venus, what volume of gas should they collect?

56. You throw a backyard party that resembles your idea of a big Texas barbecue. The
guests get more food than they could possibly eat, including a big juicy steak in the center
of each plate. Describe how soap or detergent can help you clean the greasy plates you’re
left with when your guests go home, referring to the interactions between particles and the
corresponding changes that take place on the submicroscopic level.
62. Some of the minerals found in rocks dissolve in water as it flows over the rocks. Would
these minerals dissolve more quickly

dilute and saturated? Explain your answer.
Chapter 16:
34. Assume that the following reaction is a single step reaction in which a C−Br bond is broken
as the C−I bond is formed. The heat of reaction is +38 kJ/mol.
a. With reference to collision theory, describe the general process that takes place as this reaction
moves from reactants to products.
b. List the three requirements that must be met before a reaction between Iand CH3Br is likely to
take place.
c. Explain why an I- ion and a CH3Br molecule must collide before a reaction can take place.
d. Explain why, in the process of this reaction, it is usually necessary for the new C−I bonds to
form at the same time as the C−Br bonds are broken.
e. Draw a rough sketch of the activated complex. (You do not need to show bond angles. Be sure
to show the bond that is breaking and the bond that is being formed.)
f. Explain why a collision between an I- ion and a CH3Br molecule must have a certain
minimum energy (activation energy) in order to proceed to products.
g. The activation energy for this reaction is 76 kJ/mol. Draw an energy diagram for this reaction,
showing the relative energies of the reactants, the activated complex, and the products. Using
arrows show the activation energy and heat of reaction.

reaction between them is going to be likely to take place.

Ethylene, C2H4, used to make polyethylene plastics, can be made from ethane, C2H6, one of the
components of natural gas. The heat of reaction for the decomposition of ethane gas into
ethylene gas and hydrogen gas is 136.94 kJ per mole of C2H4 formed, so it is endothermic. The
reaction is run at high temperature, in part because at 800-900 °C, the equilibrium constant for
the reaction is much higher, indicating that a higher percentage of products forms at this
temperature. Explain why increased temperature drives this reversible chemical reaction in the
endergonic direction and why this leads to an increase in the equilibrium constant for the
reaction. C2H6(g) C2H4(g) + H2(g)

equilibrium system will shift the system to more products, to more reactants, or neither. Explain
each answer in two ways, (1) by applying Le Chatelier’s principle and (2) by describing the
