In the reaction H2O2(aq) → H2O(l) + ½ O2(g), the initial concentration of H2O2 is 0.2546 M, and the initial rate
of reaction is 9.32×10–4 M s–1. What will be [H2O2] at t= 35 s?
For the reaction A + 3B → 2C, how does the rate of disappearance of B compare to the rate of production of C?
a. the rate of disappearance of B is 1/2 the rate of appearance of C
b. the rate of disappearance of B is 3/2 the rate of appearance of C
c. the rate of disappearance of B is 2/3 the rate of appearance of C
d. the rate of disappearance of B is 1/3 the rate of appearance of C
A scientist conducts an experiment to determine the rate of the following reaction: N2(g) + O2(g) → 2NO(g) If the initial
concentration of N2 was 0.500 M and the concentration of N2 was 0.450 M after 0.100 s, what is the rate of the reaction?
a. 0.500 M/s b. 1.00 M/s c. 5.00 M/s d. 10.0 M/s e. 0.250 M/s
HI dissociates to form I2 and H2: 2HI(g) → H2(g) + I2(g) If the concentration of HI changes at a rate of –0.45 M/s, what is
the rate of appearance of I2(g)? a. 0.90 M/s b. 0.45 M/s c. 0.23 M/s d. 1.00 M/s e. 0.13 M/s
For the reaction 2A + B + 2C → D + 2E, the rate law is: rate =k[A]2 [B]1 [C]1 Which of the following statements is false:
This reaction which apparently seems to be of tenth order is actually a second order reaction. This shows that this
reaction takes place in several steps.
The number of reacting species (atoms, ions or molecules) taking part in an elementary reaction, which must
collide simultaneously in order to bring about a chemical reaction is called molecularity of a reaction.
Reactions with the molecularity three are very rare and slow to proceed.
Consider the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide which is catalysed by iodide ion in an alkaline
medium.
This reaction is first order with respect to both H2O2 and I– . Evidences suggest that this reaction
takes place in two steps
(1) H2O2 + I– → H2O + IO–
(2) H2O2 + IO– → H2O + I– + O2
The concentration dependence of rate is called differential rate equation. It is not always convenient
to determine the instantaneous rate, as it is measured by determination of slope of the tangent at
point ‘t’ in concentration vs time plot. This makes it difficult to determine the rate law and hence the
order of the reaction. In order to avoid this difficulty, we can integrate the differential rate equation to
give a relation between directly measured experimental data, i.e., concentrations at different times
and rate constant.
