Water decomposes when electrolyzed to produce hydrogen and oxygen gas. If 2.5 grams of water were decomposed 1.04 grams of oxygen will be formed.
BCA table:
2O ⇒
+
B 0.13 0 + 0
C -0.13 0.065 + 0.065
A 0 0.065
Explanation:
Balanced equation for water decomposition into hydrogen and oxygen gases
2O ⇒
+
B 0.13 0 + 0
C -0.13 0.065 + 0.065
A 0 0.065
Number of moles of water =
mass = 2.5 grams
atomic mass= 18 grams
number of moles can be known by putting the values in the formula,
n =
= 0.13 moles
2 moles of water gives one mole of oxygen on decomposition
so, 0.13 moles of water will give x moles of oxygen on decompsition
=
x = 0.065 moles of oxygen will be formed.
moles to gram will be calculated as
mass =number of moles x atomic mass
= 0.065 x 16
= 1.04 grams of oxygen.
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,
