What is the area of chemistry concerned with the speed of reactions?

Suppose you got a low yield of benzoin from your benzoin condensation reaction and thus only have 0.300 g of benzoin to use as the starting material for this reaction. how much concentrated nitric acid should you add? (concentrated nitric acid is 15.8 m). write your answer in the form x. xx ml

Modern pennies are composed of zinc coated with copper. a student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.482 g and then makes several scratches in the copper coaling (to expose the underlying zinc). the student puts the scratched penny in hydrochloric acid, where the following reaction occurs between the zinc and the hcl (the copper remains undissolved): zn(s) + 2 hcl(aq) → h2(g) + zncl(aq)the student collects the hydrogen produced over water at 25 °c. the collected gas occupies a volume of 0.899 l at a total pressure of 79 j mmhg. calculate the percent zinc (by mass) in the penny. (assume that all the zn in the penny dissolves.)

Consider the reaction: n2(g) + o2(g) ⇄ 2no(g) kc = 0.10 at 2000oc starting with initial concentrations of 0.040 mol/l of n2 and 0.040 mol/l of o2, calculate the equilibrium concentration of no in mol/l how would this be done?
