Consider the following mechanism for the oxidation of bromide ions by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous acid solution. H+ + H2O2 ? H3

Margarita [4]

Answer: The rate law for the reaction is $\text{Rate}=k'[H+][H_2O_2][Br^-]$

Explanation:

Rate law is the expression which is used to express the rate of the reaction in terms of the molar concentration of reactants where each term is raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient respectively from a balanced chemical equation.

In a mechanism of the reaction, the slow step in the mechanism determines the rate of the reaction.

The chemical equation for the oxidation of bromide ions by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous acid solution follows:

$2H^++2Br^-+H_2O_2\rightarrow Br_2+2H_2O$

The intermediate reaction of the mechanism follows:

Step 1: $H^++H_2O_2\rightleftharpoons H_3O_2^+;\text{ (fast)}$

Step 2: $H_3O_2^++Br^-\rightarrow HOBr+H_2O;\text{(slow)}$

Step 3: $HOBr+H^++Br^-\rightarrow Br_2+H_2O;\text{(fast)}$

As, step 2 is the slow step. It is the rate determining step

Rate law for the reaction follows:

$\text{Rate}=k[H_3O_2^+][Br^-]$ ......(1)

As, $[H_3O_2^+]$ is not appearing as a reactant in the overall reaction. So, we apply steady state approximation in it.

Applying steady state approximation for $[H_3O_2^+]$ from step 1, we get:

$K=\frac{[H_3O_2^+]}{[H^+][H_2O_2]}$

$[H_3O_2^+]=K[H^+][H_2O_2]$

Putting the value of $[H_3O_2^+]$ in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Rate}=k.K[H^+][H_2O_2][Br^-]\\\\\text{Rate}=k'[H+][H_2O_2][Br^-]$

Hence, the rate law for the reaction is $\text{Rate}=k'[H+][H_2O_2][Br^-]$

Mass defect is associated with: nuclear fusion nuclear fission radioactive decay mass lost by nuclear collisions

Kay [80]

I would say mass lost by nuclear collisions. The mass defect is the mass difference between the mass of an atomic nucleus and the sum of the mass of its constituent particles. It equals the energy given off in the formation of the nucleus.

How many molecules of CO are produced when 2.73 moles of HPO3 react? 4HPO3 + 12C ----> 2H2 + 12CO + P4

Zina [86]

According to the balanced chemical equation:
4 HPO₃ + 12 C → 2 H₂ + 12 CO + P₄
4 moles of HPO₃ ---gives---> 12 moles of CO
2.73 moles of HPO₃ ---gives---> ? moles of CO
so number of moles of CO = $\frac{(2.73 * 12)}{4}$ = 8.19 moles of CO
Number of molecules of CO = number of moles * Avogadro's number
= 8.19 * (6.022 * 10²³) = 4.93 * 10²⁴ molecules
