Explanation:
For the given reaction:
Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.
where x and y are order wrt to and
According to collision theory , the molecules must collide for a reaction to take place. According to collision theory , the rate of a reaction is proportional to rate of collision of reactants.
Thus with an increase in concentration of reactants , the rate of reaction also increases. This is because if the concentration of reactants increases , the chances of collision between molecules also increases and thus more products wil be formed which in turn increases the rate of reaction.
The actual number of atoms of each element present in the molecule of the compound is represented by the formula known as molecular formula.
Molar mass of the unknown compound = 223.94 g/mol (given)
Mass of each element present in the unknown compound is determined as:
- Mass of carbon,
:
- Mass of hydrogen,
:
- Mass of chlorine,
:
Now, the number of each element in the unknown compound is determined by the formula:
- Number of moles of
- Number of moles of
- Number of moles of
Dividing each mole with the smallest number of mole, to determine the empirical formula:
Multiplying with 2 to convert the numbers in formula into a whole number:
So, the empirical formula is .
Empirical mass =
In order to determine the molecular formula:
n =
n =
So, the molecular formula is:
