Q: Which of the following equations correctly expresses the rate of a reaction in terms of concentration and time?

$$\frac{\Delta [\text{Product}]}{\Delta t}$$

Question 1

Based on the energy profile diagram provided, what does the peak of the curve represent in a chemical reaction?

Accepted Answer

The energy of the activated complex (transition state)

Question 2

Which of the following best describes the activation energy ($$E_a) in $$the context of the diagram?

Accepted Answer

The energy required to convert reactants into the activated complex

Question 3

If a catalyst is added to the reaction represented in the diagram, which change would you expect in the energy profile?

Accepted Answer

The activation energy ($$E_a) $$decreases

Question 4

In the context of the experiment, why does increasing the temperature increase the reaction rate?

Accepted Answer

It increases the number of molecules with energy equal to or greater than the activation energy

Question 5

Which of the following equations correctly expresses the rate of a reaction in terms of concentration and time?

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{\Delta [	ext{Product}]}{\Delta t}$$

Question 6

In the redox clock reaction, which species acts as the oxidizing agent in the reaction between ascorbic acid and molecular iodine ($$I_2$$)?

Accepted Answer

Molecular iodine ($$I_2)$$

Question 7

What is the effect on the reaction rate if the concentration of ascorbic acid is increased, according to collision theory?

Accepted Answer

The reaction rate increases due to more frequent effective collisions

Question 8

Why is it important that the concentration of ascorbic acid is greater than that of iodine in the experiment?

Accepted Answer

To ensure that iodine is the limiting reagent and the color change can be observed clearly

Question 9

Which of the following best explains why food is stored at low temperatures to prevent spoilage?

Accepted Answer

Low temperature decreases the number of molecules with sufficient energy to react, thus slowing down degradation reactions

Question 10

Given the reaction: $$H_2O_2 + 3 I^- + 2 H^+ \rightarrow I_3$^- + 2 H_2O$$, which species is reduced?

Accepted Answer

$$I^-$$

Question 11

If the time for the appearance of the blue color in the clock reaction decreases, what does this indicate about the reaction rate?

Accepted Answer

The reaction rate has increased

Question 12

Which of the following is the correct formula to calculate the final concentration ($$C_2) $$after dilution, given initial concentration ($$C_1$$), initial volume ($$V_1$$), and final volume ($$V_2$$)?

Accepted Answer

$$C_2$$ = \frac{$$V_1$$ $$C_1$$}{$$V_2$$}$$

Question 13

Which of the following statements about catalysts is correct?

Accepted Answer

Catalysts increase the reaction rate by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy

Question 14

In the experiment, what is the purpose of adding starch to the reaction mixture?

Accepted Answer

To serve as an indicator for the presence of iodine

Question 15

If both the temperature and the concentration of reactants are increased simultaneously, to which factor should the observed increase in reaction rate be primarily attributed?

Accepted Answer

It is impossible to determine without controlling one variable
