Exam 2 True/False Practice Flashcards
The temperature dependence of the reaction rate is contained in the rate constant, k
true
An increase in temperature generally decreases k, which increases rate of reaction
false
The frequency factor, A, can be thought of as the number of times that the reactants approach the activation barrier per unit time
true
The exponential factor in the Arrhenius equation represents the fraction of molecules that have enough energy to make it over the activation barrier on a given approach.
true
The transition state is found at the bottom after an activation energy “hill”
false
As temperature decreases, the exponential factor of the Arrhenius equation increases
false
Catalytic hydrogenation of an alkene by platinum is an example of heterogeneous catalysis.
true
Sucrase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breaking up of table sugar into glucose and fructose by weakening the connecting bond
true
catalyst provides a pathway that reduces the activation energy compared to the rate-limiting step for a reaction
true
The catalytic destruction of ozone by Cl is an example of homogenous catalysis.
true
When K > 1, the forward reaction is favored and there will be a relatively high concentration of products
true
At a given temperature, all combinations of starting concentrations will produce the same set of equilibrium concentrations because the value of K is constant for a given temperature
false
reaction is reversible if it can proceed in both the forward and reverse directions
true
When a reaction reaches equilibrium, the concentration of products and reactants are equal
false
When a reaction reaches equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions stop
false
