(a)
Interpretation:
The rate law and molecularity of for the given elementary reaction has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
The rate law is an equation which provides the relationship between rate of a reaction and the concentration of reactants in a reaction.
Molecularity tells about the number of reactant participated in a reaction.
- If only one reactant participated in a reaction then the reaction is called unimolecular reaction and its molecularity is 1.
- If only two reactants participated in a reaction then the reaction is called bimolecular reaction and its molecularity is 2.
- If only three reactants participated in a reaction then the reaction is called termolecular reaction and its molecularity is 3.

- The Raschig reaction produces the industrially important reducing agent hydrazine, N2H4, from ammonia, NH3, and hypochlorite ion, OCl−, in basic aqueous solution. A proposed mechanism is Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: What is the overall stoichiometric equation? Which step is rate-limiting? What reaction intermediates are involved? What rate law is predicted by this mechanism?arrow_forwardOne possible mechanism for the decomposition of nitryl chloride, NO2CI, is What is the overall reaction? What rate law would be derived from this mechanism? What effect does increasing the concentration of the product NO2 have on the reaction rate?arrow_forwardNitryl fluoride is an explosive compound that can be made by oxidizing nitrogen dioxide with fluorine: 2 NO2(g) + F2(g) → 2 NO2F(g) Several kinetics experiments, all done at the same temperature and involving formation of nitryl fluoride, are summarized in this table: Write the rate law for the reaction. Determine what the order of the reaction is with respect to each reactant and each product. Calculate the rate constant k and express it in appropriate units.arrow_forward
- There are two molecules with the formula C3H6 Propane, CH3CH = CH2, is the monomer of the polymer polypropylene, which is used for indoor-outdoor carpets. Cyclopropane is used as an anesthetic: When heated to 499 C, cyclopropane rearranges (isomerizes) and forms propane with a rate constant of 5.95104s1. What is the half-life of this reaction? What fraction of the cyclopropane remains after 0.75 h at 499 C?arrow_forwardThe decomposition of azomethane, (CH3)2N2, to nitrogen and ethane gases is a first-order reaction, (CH3)2N2(g)N2(g)+C2H6(g). At a certain temperature, a 29-mg sample of azomethane is reduced to 12 mg in 1.4 s. (a) What is the rate constant k for the decomposition at that temperature?

- At 573 K, gaseous NO2(g) decomposes, forming NO(g) and O2(g). If a vessel containing NO2(g) has an initial concentration of 1.9 102 mol/L, how long will it take for 75% of the NO2(g) to decompose? The decomposition of NO2(g) is second-order in the reactant and the rate constant for this reaction, at 573 K, is 1.1 L/mol s.arrow_forwardThe hydrolysis of the sugar sucrose to the sugars glucose and fructose, C12H22O11+H2OC6H12O6+C6H12O6 follows a first-order rate equation for the disappearance of sucrose: Rate =k[C12H22O11] (The products of the reaction, glucose and fructose, have the same molecular formulas but differ in the arrangement of the atoms in their molecules.) (a) In neutral solution, k=2.11011s1 at 27 C and 8.51011s1 at 37 C. Determine the activation energy, the frequency factor, and the rate constant for this equation at 47 C (assuming the kinetics remain consistent with the Arrhenius equation at this temperature). (b) When a solution of sucrose with an initial concentration of 0.150 M reaches equilibrium, the concentration of sucrose is 1.65107M . How long will it take the solution to reach equilibrium at 27 C in the absence of a catalyst? Because the concentration of sucrose at equilibrium is so low, assume that the reaction is irreversible. (c) Why does assuming that the reaction is irreversible simplify the calculation in pan (b)?arrow_forward
