Consider the following reaction between mercury(II) chloride and oxalate ion.

Alina [70]

<u>Answer:</u> The rate law of the reaction is $\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2][C_2O_4^{2-}]^2$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law 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.

For the given chemical equation:

$2 HgCl_2(aq.)+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Cl^-(aq.)+2CO_2(g)+Hg_2Cl_2(s)$

Rate law expression for the reaction:

$\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^a[C_2O_4^{2-}]^b$

where,

a = order with respect to $HgCl_2$

b = order with respect to $C_2O_4^{2-}$

Expression for rate law for first observation:

$3.2\times 10^{-5}=k(0.164)^a(0.15)^b$ ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

$2.9\times 10^{-4}=k(0.164)^a(0.45)^b$ ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

$1.4\times 10^{-4}=k(0.082)^a(0.45)^b$ ....(3)

Expression for rate law for fourth observation:

$4.8\times 10^{-5}=k(0.246)^a(0.15)^b$ ....(4)

Dividing 2 from 1, we get:

$\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{3.2\times 10^{-5}}=\frac{(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{(0.164)^a(0.15)^b}\\\\9=3^b\\b=2$

Dividing 2 from 3, we get:

$\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{1.4\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{(0.082)^a(0.45)^b}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1$

Thus, the rate law becomes:

$\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^1[C_2O_4^{2-}]^2$

A student makes the following two claims about chemical reactions:

Svet_ta [14]

I would agree with the second one, not the first. You can't always see the chemical reaction, and it isn't always sudden. But the second claim is true.
