2 At 17°C, 26.5 mL of nitrogen gas at 1 Pa was collected in a flask. The next day the volume of the nitrogen was
27.1 mL with the pressure of 1 Pa. Determine the temperature on the second day.

P1 = 1, V1 = 26.5 mL,

P1V1 = nRT1

P2V2 = nRT2

3 Two iron nitrate solutions were poured into the same conical flask. The first solution contained 40.0 mL of 1.80
M Fe(NO3)3, and the second contained 21.5 mL of 0.808 M Fe(NO3)3. Calculate the final molar concentration of
Fe(NO3)3 in the flask.

4 If the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is 0.00001 M, Calculate the pH.

5 Discuss how nano-catalysts increase the rate of a reaction more than other catalysts.

The small size of a nanocatalyst means there is a larger surface area available for the reactants to bind. This increases
the ability of molecules to collide/meet and therefore increases the rate of the reaction.

6 The graph below represents the energy profile of a chemical reaction.

a Identify which arrow (A, B or C) represents the amount of activation energy in the reaction.

Line A

b Identify which arrow represents the change in energy between the reactants and products.

Line C

c Determine whether this reaction an exothermic reaction or an endothermic reaction. Provide reasoning to
support your answer.

Endothermic reaction: the products have a higher energy level than the reactants. Therefore, energy must be taken
from the environment during the reaction.

d How will the use of a catalyst affect the activation energy in this reaction? Sketch a graph to illustrate your
answer.

A catalyst will decrease the activation energy in this reaction. A sample graph can be found below.

e For the diagrams below determine the most easily ignitable fuel? Provide reasoning to support your
answer.

Graph III. This graph has the smallest activation energy when compared to the other graphs.

7 Most of the chemical reactions that occur in living organisms involve enzymes such as catalase. Catalase aids in
the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into oxygen and water that occurs in the liver.

a Define the term ‘enzyme’.

Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of reactions in living things.

b Predict the effect of placing a piece of liver in a concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution.

The catalase in the liver will cause the hydrogen peroxide to react to form hydrogen and water.

c Construct a balanced chemical equation (including states) for this reaction.

2H2O2 (aq) → 2H2O (l) + O2 (g)

d Hypothermia is a condition where the temperature of the body decreases below 35 °C. Explain how this
would affect the chemical reactions that occur in the human liver.

Decreasing the temperature of the body will decrease the amount of kinetic energy of the molecules. This means there
will be less (and slower) collisions between the reactants, slowing the rate of the reaction.
