Answer : The rate law for the overall reaction is,
Explanation :
Rate law : It is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.
As we are given the mechanism for the reaction :
Step 1 : (slow)
Step 2 : (fast)
Overall reaction :
The rate law expression for overall reaction should be in terms of .
As we know that the slow step is the rate determining step. So,
The slow step reaction is,
The expression of rate law for this reaction will be,
Hence, the rate law for the overall reaction is,
Answer:
The limiting reactant is the propane gas, C₃H₈ while the percentage yield is 83.77%
Explanation:
Here we have
Propane gas with molecular formula C₃H₈, molar mass = 44.1 g/mol combining with O₂ as follows
C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O
Therefore, 1 mole of C₃H₈ combines with 5 moles of O₂ to produce 3 moles CO₂ and 4 moles of H₂O
Mass of propane = 0.1240 kg = 124.0 g
Number of moles of propane = mass of propane/(molar mass of propane)
The number of moles of propane = 124/44.1 = 2.812 moles
The molar mass of CO₂ = 44.01 g/mol
Mass of CO₂ = 0.3110 kg = 311.0 g
Therefore, number of moles of CO₂ = mass of CO₂/(molar mass of CO₂)
The number of moles of CO₂ = 311.0 kg/ 44.01 g/mol = 7.067 moles
Therefore, since 1 mole of propane produces 3 moles of CO₂, 2.812 moles of propane will produce 3 × 2.812 moles or 8.44 moles of CO₂
Therefore;
The limiting reactant is the propane gas, C₃H₈, since the oxygen is in excess
Hence
The percentage yield = 83.77%.
