Question

Consider the following reaction:





(a) The rate law for this reaction is first order in S2O82-(aq) and first order in I-(aq). What is the rate law for this reaction?

Rate = k [S2O82-(aq)] [I-(aq)] Rate = k [S2O82-(aq)]2 [I-(aq)]     Rate = k [S2O82-(aq)] [I-(aq)]2 Rate = k [S2O82-(aq)]2 [I-(aq)]2 Rate = k [S2O82-(aq)] [I-(aq)]3 Rate = k [S2O82-(aq)]4 [I-(aq)]






(b) If the rate constant for this reaction at a certain temperature is 0.00705, what is the reaction rate when [S2O82-(aq)] = 0.0332 M and [I-(aq)] = 0.0570 M?

Rate = M/s.



(c) What is the reaction rate when the concentration of S2O82-(aq) is doubled, to 0.0664 M while the concentration of I-(aq) is 0.0570 M?

Rate = M/s

Explanation / Answer

a)

Rate = k [S2O82-(aq)] [I-(aq)]

b)

Rate = k [S2O82-(aq)] [I-(aq)]

    =0.00705 * 0.0332*0.0570

    =0.00001334 M/s

c)

Rate = k [S2O82-(aq)] [I-(aq)]

    =0.00705 * 0.0664*0.0570

    =0.0000267 M/s
