For the reaction A + B to products, what will be the order of reaction with respect to A and B? {:("Exp",[A](mol L^(-1)),[B](mol L^(-1)),"Initial rate (mol L^(-1) s^(-1))),(1,2.5 xx 10^(-4), 3 xx 10^(-5), 5 xx 10^(-4)),(2,5 xx 10^(-4),6 xx 10^(-5), 4 xx 10^(-3)),(3, 1xx 10^(-3), 6 xx 10^(-5), 1.6 xx 10^(-2)):}

Answer»

1 with respect to A and 2 with respect to B
2 with respect to A and 1 with respect to B
1 with respect to A and 1 with respect to B
2 with respect to A and 2 with respect to B

Solution :Rate `= k [A]^(x) [B]^(y)`
From EXP.(1), `5 xx 10^(-4) = k (2.5 xx 10^(-4))^(x (3 xx 10^(-5))^(y)`
Frox exp. (2), `4 xx 10^(-3) = k (5 xx 10^(-4))^(x) (6 xx 10^(-5))^(y)`….(ii)
DIVIDING (ii) by (i), `(4 xx 10^(-3))/(5 xx 10^(-4))`
From exp. (3) `1.6 xx 10^(-2) = k (1 xx 10^(-3))^(x) (6 xx 10^(-5)^(-6))^(y)`...(iii)
Dividing (iii) by (ii), `(1.6 xx 10^(-2))/(4 xx 10^(-3)) = 2^(x) = 4`
or x = 2,y = 1
Hence order with respect to A is 2 and with respect to B is 1.
3.

For the reaction 2NO(g) + Cl_(2)to2NOCl(g) the following data were collected. All the measurnments were taken at 263 K. a) Write the expression for rate law, b) Calculate the value of rate constant and specify its untis. c) What is the initial rate of disappearance of Cl_(2) in exp. 4?

Answer»

Solution :The RATE law equation may be expressed as:
Rate=`k[A]^(p)[B]^(q)`
Comparing experiments 1 and 2
`(Rate)_(1) = k[0.15]^(p)[0.15]^(q) = 0.60`
`(Rate)_(2) = k[0.15]^(p)[0.30]^(q) = 1.20`
DIVIDING eq. (ii) by eq. (i),
`(Rate_(2))/(Rate_(1)) = (k[0.15]^(p)[0.30]^(q))/(k[0.15]^(p)[0.15]^(q))=1.20/0.60 = 2, [2]^(q) = [2]^(1)` or q=1
Comparing experiments 1 and 3
`(Rate_(1)) = k[0.15]^(p)[0.15]^(q)`
`(Rate_(3)) = k[0.30]^(p)[0.15]^(q)`
Dividing eq. (III) by eq (i)
`(Rate_(3))/(Rate_(1)) = (k[0.30]^(p)[0.15]^(q))/(k[0.15]^(p)[0.15]^(q)) = 2.40/0.60 = 4,[2]^(p)=[2]^(2) or p=2`
a) Expression for rate law, Rate = `k[NO]^(2)[Cl_(2)]`
b) Rate constant (k) for the reaction may be calculated as:
`k[0.15]^(p)[0.15]_(q) = 0.60, k0.150^(2)[0.15]^(1) = k60, k = p(0.60)/(0.003375) = 1.78 xx 10^(2)`
since, the reaction is of third order : units of rate constant k =`L^(2)mol^(-2)min^(-1)`
c) Initial rate of disappearancing of chlorine in experiment-4
Rate `= k[0.20mol L^(-1)]^(2)[0.25 mol L^(-1)] = (1.78 xx 10^(2)L^(2)min^(-1)) xx (0.25 mol L^(-1))^(3)`
`= 2.78 mol L^(-1)min^(-1)`

For the reaction : 2O_(3) rarr 3O_(2) the rate of reaction is correctly given by the expression

Answer»

`-(2)/(3)(d[O_(3)])/(dt)`
`-(1)/(3)(d[O_(3)])/(dt)`
`-(1)/(2)(d[O_(3)])/(dt)`
`(1)/(2) (d[O_(3)])/(dt)`
