Answer: D) The reaction rate will increase by a factor of four.

Explanation:

A\rightarrow products

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

given order =2 , thus rate law is:

R=[A]^2      (1)

On cutting the concentration of  A to half

R'=[\frac{A}{2}]^2      (2)

Dividing 2 by 1  

\frac{R'}{R}=\frac{1}{4}

R'=4R

A second order reaction varies with the square of the concentration of the reactant. Therefore, halving the concentration will reduce the rate of reaction by a factor of 4.
The answer is E.

What is the equilibrium constant, KC if the reaction is a gas phase reaction? (Ans.: Gas: KC = 0.328 dm3/mol)
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Equilibrium constant Kc = Qc = quotient of reactant(s) and product(s)

Kc = [C]x[D]y..../[A]m[B]n..... = 0.328dm3/mol, where [C]x[D]y is the product and [A]m[B]n is the reactant(Both in gaseous states)

Explanation:

When a mixture of reactants and products of a reaction reaches equilibrium at a given temperature, its reaction quotient always has the same value. This value is called the equilibrium constant (K) of the reaction at that temperature. As for the reaction quotient, when evaluated in terms of concentrations, it is noted as Kc.

That a reaction quotient always assumes the same value at equilibrium can be expressed as:

Qc (at equilibrium) = Kc =[C]x[D]y…/[A]m[B]n…

This equation is a mathematical statement of the law of mass action: When a reaction has attained equilibrium at a given temperature, the reaction quotient for the reaction always has the same value.
