<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^-]

What time of the year can you see Scorpius
enyata [817]

Answer:

In the northern hemisphere I believe, Scorpius is most visible by looking to the south during July and August around 10:00 PM. The constellation remains visible until mid-September. In the southern hemisphere, Scorpio appears very high in the northern part of the sky until close to the end of September.

If sodium is burned in chlorine gas, a compound is formed that dissolves in water. What colour will the solution be?
Alchen [17]

If sodium is burned in chlorine fuel, a compound is formed that dissolves in water. the solution be: Bright yellow mild

Chlorine is a yellow-green gas at room temperature. Chlorine has a smelly, annoying scent similar to bleach that is detectable at low concentrations. The density of chlorine gasoline is about 2.5 times extra than air, so one can reason it to initially stay near the floor in regions with little air movement.

Chlorine gasoline can be recognized by using its smelly, anxious smell, which is like the scent of bleach. The sturdy scent may additionally provide a good enough caution to human beings that they have been uncovered. Chlorine fuel appears to be yellow-green in color. Concentrations of approximately 400 ppm and past are commonly fatal over a half-hour, and at 1,000 ppm and above, fatality ensues within only some mins. A spectrum of scientific findings can be present in those uncovered to excessive tiers of chlorine.
