Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given equations as as follows.

       H_{2}O_{2} + I^{-} \rightarrow H_{2}O + IO^{-}           (slow)

       H_{2}O_{2} + IO^{-} \rightarrow H_{2}O + O_{2} + I^{-}

Therefore, overall reaction equation will be as follows.

     2H_{2}O_{2} + I^{-} + IO^{-} \rightarrow 2H_{2}O + O_{2} + IO^{-} + I^{-}

So, cancelling the spectator ions then the equation will be as follows.

         H_{2}O_{2} \rightarrow 2H_{2}O + O_{2}

As, it is known that slow step of a reaction is the rate determining step. Therefore, rate law for the slow step will be as follows.

        H_{2}O_{2} + I^{-} \rightarrow H_{2}O + IO^{-}

                 Rate law = k[H_{2}O_{2}][I^{-}]

Hence, the reaction is first order with respect to [I^{-}] and it is also first order reaction with respect to [H_{2}O_{2}].

Also, [I^{-}] acts as a catalyst in the reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the incorrect statement is IO^{-} is a catalyst.

The number of moles of gas lost is  0.0213 mol. It can be solved with the help of Ideal gas law.

<h3>What is Ideal law ?</h3>

According to this law, "the volume of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to the number on moles of gas, directly proportional to the temperature and inversely proportional to the pressure. i.e.

PV = nRT.

Where,

  • p = pressure
  • V = volume (1.75 L = 1.75 x 10⁻³ m³)
  • T =  absolute temperature
  • n = number of moles
  • R =  gas constant, 8.314 J*(mol-K)

Therefore, the number of moles is

n = PV / RT

State 1 :

  • T₁ = (25⁰ C = 25+273 = 298 K)
  • p₁ = 225 kPa = 225 x 10³ N/m²

State 2 :

  • T₂ = 10 C = 283 K
  • p₂ = 185 kPa = 185 x 10³ N/m²

The loss in moles of gas from state 1 to state 2 is

Δn = V/R (P₁/T₁ - P₂/T₂ )

V/R = (1.75 x 10⁻³ m³)/(8.314 (N-m)/(mol-K) = 2.1049 x 10⁻⁴ (mol-m²-K)/N

p₁/T₁ = (225 x 10³)/298 = 755.0336 N/(m²-K)

p₂/T₂ = (185 x 10³)/283 = 653.7102 N/(m²-K)

Therefore,

Δn = (2.1049 x 10⁻⁴ (mol-m²-K)/N)*(755.0336 - 653.7102 N/(m²-K))

    = 0.0213 mol

Hence, The number of moles of gas lost is 0.0213 mol.

Two substances with empirical formula HNO are hyponitrous acid (M = 62.04 g/mol) and nitroxyl (M = 31.02 g/mol).(a) What is the
viva [34]

The molecular formula for hyponitrous acid is H2N2O2. and for nitroxyl is HNO.

The chemical compound HNO is also known as nitroxyl (common name) or Azanon (IUPAC name). In the gas phase, it is widely recognized. In the solution phase, the short-lived intermediate nitroxyl can develop. Nitric oxide (NO) is reduced to form the conjugate base, NO, which is isoelectronic with dioxygen.

By oxidizing hydroxylamine with CuO , HgO, and Ag 2 and by oxidizing hydroxylamine with N2O3 in methyl-alcoholic solution, we can create hyponitrous acid.
