29. A.
i. successful molecular collisions must have sufficient energy in order to result in reaction. Only collisions with
sufficient energy to overcome the activation energy barrier will be able to reach the transition state and begin to
break F-F bonds (must talk about activation energy)
ii. For a collision to be successful, the molecules must have correct orientation. Only collisions with the correct
orientation will be able to begin to form an N-F bond and begin to break an F-F bond as the transition state is
approached.
b. The rate law that is consistent with the mechanism is the one on the right above (rate = k[NO2][F2]
Step I is the slower step and the rate-determining step in the mechanism. Since step I is an elementary reaction, its
rate law is given by the stoichiometry of the reacting molecules, rate = k[NO2][F2]
30. A. 0.701 atm

equilibrium produces more products so Kp will increase.
e. Decrease: Q (1.0)< Kp (2.2) thus the reaction will consume SO2Cl2 as it proceeds in the forward direction toward
equilbrium
