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

<u>Explanation:</u>

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:

<u>Step 1:</u>  H^++H_2O_2\rightleftharpoons H_3O_2^+;\text{ (fast)}

<u>Step 2:</u>  H_3O_2^++Br^-\rightarrow HOBr+H_2O;\text{(slow)}

<u>Step 3:</u>  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^-]

25 g of NH, is mixed with 4 moles of O, in the given reaction:
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

a. NH3 is limiting reactant.

b. 44g of NO

c. 40g of H2O

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

4NH₃(g) + 5O₂(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H₂O(l)

4 moles of ammonia reacts with 5 moles of oxygen to produces 4 moles of NO and 6 moles of water.

To find limiting reactant we need to find the moles of each reactant and using the balanced equation find which reactant will be ended first. Then, with limiting reactant we can find the moles of each reactant and its mass:

<em>a. </em><em>Moles NH3 -Molar mass. 17.031g/mol-</em>

25g NH3*(1mol/17.031g) = 1.47moles NH3

Moles O2 = 4 moles

For a complete reaction of 4 moles of O2 are required:

4mol O2 * (4mol NH3 / 5mol O2) = 3.2 moles of NH3.

As there are just 1.47 moles, NH3 is limiting reactant

b. Moles NO:

1.47moles NH3 * (4mol NO/4mol NH3) = 1.47mol NO

Mass NO -Molar mass: 30.01g/mol-

1.47mol NO * (30.01g/mol) = 44g of NO

c. Moles H2O:

1.47moles NH3 * (6mol H2O/4mol NH3) = 2.205mol H2O

Mass H2O -Molar mass: 18.01g/mol-

2.205mol H2O * (18.01g/mol) = 40g of H2O

In order for rock formations to move the plates__________ .
ANEK [815]
Igneous rocks are found where plates diverge, as lava rises and fills the gap between the plates. Igneous rocks also form where plates converge. The subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the Earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes.
