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.

stbank, Question 075 Get help answering Molecular Drawing questions. Compound A, C6H12 reacts with HBr/ROOR to give compound B,
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case we want to know the structures of A (C6H12), B (C6H13Br) and C (C6H14).

A and C reacts with two differents reagents and conditions, however both of them gives the same product.

Let's analyze each reaction.

First, C6H12 has the general formula of an alkene or cycloalkane. However, when we look at the reagents, which are HBr in ROOR, and the final product, we can see that this is an adition reaction where the H and Br were added to a molecule, therefore we can conclude that the initial reactant is an alkene. Now, what happens next? A is reacting with HBr. In general terms when we have an adition of a molecule to a reactant like HBr (Adding electrophyle and nucleophyle) this kind of reactions follows the markonikov's rule that states that the hydrogen will go to the carbon with more hydrogens, and the nucleophyle will go to the carbon with less hydrogen (Atom that can be stabilized with charge). But in this case, we have something else and is the use of the ROOR, this is a peroxide so, instead of follow the markonikov rule, it will do the opposite, the hydrogen to the more substituted carbon and the bromine to the carbon with more hydrogens. This is called the antimarkonikov rule. Picture attached show the possible structure for A. The alkene would have to be the 1-hexene.

Now in the second case we have C, reacting with bromine in light to give also B. C has the formula C6H14 which is the formula for an alkane and once again we are having an adition reaction. In this case, conditions are given to do an adition reaction in an alkane. bromine in presence of light promoves the adition of the bromine to the molecule of alkane. In this case it can go to the carbon with more hydrogen or less hydrogens, but it will prefer the carbon with more hydrogens. In this case would be the terminal hydrogens of the molecules. In this case, it will form product B again. the alkane here would be the hexane. See picture for structures.

A mixture contains only nacl and al2(so4)3. a 1.45 g sample of the mixture is dissolved in water, and an excess of naoh is added
Aleks [24]

When mixture of NaCl and Al₂(SO₄)₃ is allowed to react with excess NaOH, only Al₂(SO₄)₃ reacts with it and NaCl does not react with NaOH due to presence of common ion (Na⁺). On reaction gelatinous precipitate of aluminium hydroxide [Al(OH)₃] is produced.  The balanced chemical reaction is represented as-

Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6NaOH → 2Al(OH)₃ + 3Na₂SO₄

On this reaction, 0.495 g = 0.495/78 moles =6.346 X 10⁻³ moles of Al(OH)₃.

As per balanced reaction, two moles of Al(OH)₃ is produced from one mole Al₂(SO₄)₃. So, 6.346 X 10⁻³ moles of Al(OH)₃ is produced from (6.346 X 10⁻³)/2 moles=3.173 X 10⁻³ moles of Al₂(SO₄)₃= 3.173 X 10⁻³ X 342 g of Al₂(SO₄)₃=1.085 g of Al₂(SO₄)₃.

So, mass percentage of Al₂(SO₄)₃ is= (amount of Al₂(SO₄)₃/total amount of mixture)X100 = \frac{1.085 X 100}{1.45} =74.8 %.
