Answer:
Explanation:
Catalyst is I2 . Because I2 is reacted with starting material in step 1 and generated in second step
Rate limiting step is step 1. Because in rate equation CH3CHO and I2 is mentioned. Hence the overall rate of reaction is depending CH3CHO and I2. Rate limiting step is step 1
<u>Given:</u>
Mass of pure iron (Fe) = 3.4 g
<u>To determine:</u>
Mass of HBr needed to dissolve the above iron
<u>Explanation:</u>
Reaction between HBr and Fe is
Fe + 2HBr → FeBr₂ + H₂
Based on the reaction stoichiometry-
1 mole of Fe reacts with 2 moles of HBr
# moles of Fe = mass of Fe/atomic mass of Fe = 3.4/56 g.mol⁻¹ = 0.0607 moles
Therefore # moles of HBr = 2*0.0607 = 0.1214 moles
Molar mass of HBr = 81 g/mole
Mass of HBr = 0.1214 moles * 81 g/mole = 9.83 g
Ans: Mass of HBR required is 9.83 g
