What is the reaction mechanism and rate determining step of the formation of a C-C bond between two ethene (C2H4) molecules catalyzed by a nickel-based catalyst? Use quantum chemical calculations to determine the activation energy, transition state geometry, and reaction energetics.

How much would the equilibrium constant (Kc) change if a catalyst is added to the reaction system, given the initial concentration of reactants and products? Specifically, consider the equilibrium reaction: N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)with an initial concentration of N2 = 0.10 M, H2 = 0.20 M, and NH3 = 0.25 M. The activation energy of the reaction is 150 kJ/mol and the catalyst lowers it by 50 kJ/mol. Calculate the change in Kc for this reaction when the catalyst is added to the system.

How can a chemist protect a specific functional group in a molecule during a chemical reaction that may cause unwanted reactions with that group, while still allowing for other desired reactions to occur? Provide a specific example of a protecting group used in organic synthesis and explain the process of its removal.

Calculate the activation energy required for a chemical reaction to occur, given that the rate constant at 298 K is 4.70 x 10^-3 s^-1 and the rate constant at 313 K is 1.20 x 10^-2 s^-1. (Assume the Arrhenius equation applies.)
