NO reacts with Br2 in the gas phase according to the following chemical equation: 2NO(g) +Br2(g)2NOBr(g) It is observed that, wh

en the concentration of Br2 is reduced to 1/3 of its initial value, the rate of the reaction is also reduced to 1/3 of its initial value. When the concentration of NO is multiplied by 3.69, the rate of the reaction increases by a factor of 13.6. (a) Write the rate expression for this reaction, and give the units of the rate constant k, assuming concentration is expressed as mol L-1 and time is in second

Answer:

a) rate=r=k[NO]^{2} [Br_{2}]^{1}

b) k=\frac{1}{s*M^{2}}

Explanation:

First of all you need to indicate the reaction order of each reactant ( NO and Br_{2}):

1.  Br_{2}

Note that if Br_{2} concentration ([Br_{2} ]) is reduced to 1/3 of its initial value, the rate of the reaction is also reduced to 1/3 of its initial value, it means:

[Br_{2} ]=1/3 then r=1/3

As the change in the rate of the reaction is equal to the change of the initial concentration of  Br_{2}, you could concluded that the reaction is first order with respect to  Br_{2}

2. NO

Now, note that if NO concentration ([NO]) is multiplied by 3.69, the rate of the reaction increases by a factor of 13.6. In this case, to know the ratio could be advisable divide the rate of the reaction (13.6) over the factor whereby was multiplied the concentration (3.69), as follows:

\frac{13.6}{3.69}=3.69

As the result is the same factor 3.69 you could concluded that the change of the rate of reaction is proportional to the square of the concentration of A:

r=[NO]^{2} =3.68^{2} =13.6

It means that the reaction is second order with respect to NO

3. Rate Expression

Remember that the rate expression of the reactions depend on the concentration of each reactant and its order. In this case we have 2 reactants: NO and Br_{2}, then we have a rate law depending of  2 concentrations, as follows:

<h2>rate=r=k[NO]^{2} [Br_{2}]^{1}</h2>

Note that the expression is the result of the concentration of each reactant raised to its reaction order (previously determined)

<em>Note: I hope that you do not mix up the use of the rates of reaction of each reactant, that is experimentally determined, with the stoichiometric coefficient, are different.</em>

4. Rate constant units (k)

Assuming concentration is expressed as \frac{mol}{L}=M and time is in second, to find the units of k we need to solve an equation with units and with supporting of the rate equation previously obtained, as follows:

r=k[NO]^{2} [Br_{2}]^{1}

Where:

[r]=[\frac{M}{s}]

[[NO]]=[M]

[ [Br_{2}]]=[M]

Then:

\frac{M}{s}=kM^{2} M^{1}

\frac{M}{s}=kM^{3}

\frac{M}{s*M^{3}}=k

The units of the rate constant k are:

k=\frac{1}{s*M^{2}}

Summary

Students learn about the variety of materials used by engineers in the design and construction of modern bridges. They also find out about the material properties important to bridge construction and consider the advantages and disadvantages of steel and concrete as common bridge-building materials to handle compressive and tensile forces.

This engineering curriculum aligns to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

Engineering Connection

When designing structures such as bridges, engineers carefully choose the materials by anticipating the forces the materials (the structural components) are expected to experience during their lifetimes. Usually, ductile materials such as steel, aluminum and other metals are used for components that experience tensile loads. Brittle materials such as concrete, ceramics and glass are used for components that experience compressive loads.

Learning Objectives

After this lesson, students should be able to:

List several common materials used the design and construction of structures.

Describe several factors that engineers consider when selecting materials for the design of a bridge.

Explain the advantages and disadvantages of common materials used in engineering structures (steel and concrete).

If gas costs $3.50 per gallon, how much would it cost to drive 500 miles in a city in a car that is 58.3 km/L
Akimi4 [234]
1 liter = .264 gallon
1 km = .621 mile

this means that 58.3km/L is equal to 137.13mpg

so

500/137.13 = 3.65 gallons of gas

3.65 x 3.5 = $12.78
