<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^-]

Is water a good solvent choice for recrystallization of NaCl?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Water is not a good solvent choice.

Explanation:

While water is good solvent because of its polotiry. Water is not good for the recrystallization process becuase being a good recystallization solvent means that a compound must dissolves easily when the solvent is warm, but that is less soluble at room temperature or when cooled in an ice bath. Water has the dissolves when warm part down. But for the cooled part which is the most important it can not do.

A scientist wants to make a solution of tribasic sodium phosphate, Na3PO4, for a laboratory experiment. How many grams of Na3PO4
ddd [48]

Answer:

178.35g

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution can be calculated using the formula:

Molarity = number of moles ÷ volume

Based on the information provided in this question, molarity (M) of the solution = 1.50 M, volume = 725 mL = 725/1000 = 0.725L, n = ?

1.50 = n / 0.725

n = 1.50 × 0.725

n = 1.0875mol

Molar mass of Na3PO4

23(3) + 31 + 16(4)

= 69 + 31 + 64

= 164g/mol

Mole = mass ÷ molar mass

1.0875 = mass/164

mass = 178.35g
