An acid-base reaction or a neutralization reaction is a <u>chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base producing a salt and water</u>. The acids and bases can be strong or weak depending on their degree of ionization in water.

Butyric acid is a weak acid and in water it is ionized in the following way, loosing a proton (H+):

HC4H7O2 (aq) ⇆ H+ (aq) + C4H7O2- (aq)

On the other hand, potassium hydroxide is a strong base, so it will be completely ionized in water:

KOH(aq) → K+(aq) + OH-(aq)

Then the <u>net acid-base reaction</u> between butyric acid and KOH is:

HC4H7O2 (aq) + OH- (aq) ⇆ H2O + C4H7O2- (aq)

It is valid to consider only the OH- produced from the ionization of KOH in water since, as mentioned, this molecule is completely ionized. Also, we do not include the K + in the net equation since it is a spectator ion, it does not undergo chemical changes.

The rate constant for the decomposition of nitrogen dioxide NO2(g) LaTeX: \longrightarrow⟶ NO (g) + 1/2 O2(g) with a laser beam
aleksley [76]

Answer :

The time taken by the reaction is 19.2 seconds.

The order of reaction is, second order reaction.

Explanation :

The general formula to determine the unit of rate constant is:

(Concentration)^{(1-n)}(Time)^{-1}

Unit of rate constant                           Order of reaction

Concentration/Time                                        0

Time^{-1}                                                              1

(Concentration)^{-1}Time^{-1}                                 2

As the unit of rate constant is M^{-1}min^{-1}. So, the order of reaction is second order.

The expression used for second order kinetics is:

kt=\frac{1}{[A_t]}-\frac{1}{[A_o]}

where,

k = rate constant = 1.95M^{-1}s^{-1}

t = time = ?

[A_t] = final concentration = 0.97 M

[A_o] = initial concentration = 2.48 M

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

1.95\times t=\frac{1}{0.97}-\frac{1}{2.48}

t=0.32min=0.32\times 60s=19.2s

Therefore, the time taken by the reaction is 19.2 seconds.
