Question
Consider the following reaction:2 ClO2(aq) + 2 OH-(aq) ClO3-(aq) + ClO2-(aq) + H2O(l)
The rate law for this reaction is:
Rate = k [ClO2(aq)]2 [OH-(aq)]
At a certain temperature when [ClO2(aq)] = 0.0357 M and [OH-(aq)] = 0.0465 M, the rate of this reaction is 1.49e-02 M s-1. What is the reaction rate when the concentration of ClO2(aq) is doubled, to 0.0714 M, while the concentration of OH-(aq) is 0.0465 M?
a) The reaction rate is 2.99e-02 M s-1.
b) The reaction rate is 1.19e-01 M s-1.
c) The reaction rate is 6.29e+01 M s-1.
d) The reaction rate is 5.97e-02 M s-1.
e) The reaction rate is 7.45e-03 M s-1.
Explanation / Answer
a) The reaction rate is 2.99e-02 M s-1
