Dimerization of C5H6
Suggest a method for measuring the rate of the following reactions:
i) 2H2O2(aq) ——> 2H2O (l) + O2(g)
ii) HBr(g) ———–> H2(g) + Br2(g)
(colorless)…………(colorless)….(dark red-brown)
For the dimerization reaction
2C5H6(g) ——–> C10H12(g)
found to be 4.4torr sec-1. What would be the value of the change in
concentration of C10H12/change in time during the same period of time?
Explain why a catalyst for a forward reaction must also be a
catalyst for the reverse reaction. Include an energy level diagram in your
answer.
