Consider the following reaction between mercury(II) chloride and oxalate ion:
siniylev [52]

Answer : The reaction rate will be, 1.9\times 10^{-4}M/s

Explanation :

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

2HgCl_2(aq)+C_2O_2^{4-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cl^-(aq)+2CO_2(g)+HgCl_2(s)

Rate law expression for the reaction:

\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^a[C_2O_2^{4-}]^b

where,

a = order with respect to HgCl_2

b = order with respect to C_2O_2^{4-}

Expression for rate law for first observation:

3.2\times 10^{-5}=k(0.164)^a(0.15)^b ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

2.9\times 10^{-4}=k(0.164)^a(0.45)^b ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

1.4\times 10^{-4}=k(0.082)^a(0.45)^b ....(3)

Expression for rate law for fourth observation:

4.8\times 10^{-5}=k(0.246)^a(0.15)^b ....(4)

Dividing 1 from 2, we get:

\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{3.2\times 10^{-5}}=\frac{k(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{k(0.164)^a(0.15)^b}\\\\9=3^b\\(3)^2=3^b\\b=2

Dividing 3 from 2, we get:

\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{1.4\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{k(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{k(0.082)^a(0.45)^b}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1

Thus, the rate law becomes:

\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^1[C_2O_2^{4-}]^2

Now, calculating the value of 'k' by using any expression.

Putting values in above rate law, we get:

3.2\times 10^{-5}=k(0.164)^1(0.15)^2

k=8.7\times 10^{-3}M^{-2}s^{-1}

Now we have to determine the reaction rate when the concentration of HgCl_2 is 0.135 M and that of C_2O_2^{-4} is 0.40 M.

\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^1[C_2O_2^{4-}]^2

\text{Rate}=(8.7\times 10^{-3})\times (0.135)^1\times (0.40)^2

\text{Rate}=1.9\times 10^{-4}M/s

Therefore, the reaction rate will be, 1.9\times 10^{-4}M/s

Assuming acid strength relates directly to number of O atoms bonded to the central atom, rank H₂N₂O₂ [or (HON)₂]; HNO₃ (or HONO₂
Elenna [48]

For Less number of oxygen atoms will be less acidic. Therefore, the rank will be.... So there is 1 oxygen atom bonded to each of the 2 nitrogen atoms.

For HNO3 or {HONO}2. So there are 3 oxygen atoms bonded to the nitrogen.

For HNO2 or HONO. So there are 2 oxygen atoms bonded to the nitrogen.

Less number of oxygen atoms will be less acidic. Therefore, the rank will be...

HNO3>HNO2>H2N2O2

Acid strength is the tendency of an acid, symbolized by the chemical formula, to dissociate into a proton, and an anion, The dissociation of a strong acid in solution is effectively complete, except in its most concentrated solutions.

The strength of a weak organic acid may depend on substituent effects. The strength of an inorganic acid depends on the atom’s oxidation state to which the proton may be attached. Acid strength is solvent-dependent. For example, hydrogen chloride is a strong acid in an aqueous solution but is a weak acid when dissolved in glacial acetic acid.
