When a solute is dissolved in a solvent the solute raises the boiling point of the solvent. The boiling point of a liquid (a solvent) will be higher when another compound (solute) is added, such that a solution has a higher boiling point than a pure solvent. This takes place when a non-volatile solute, such as a salt, is added to a pure solvent such as water.
Answer:
Molecularity of the rate determining step = 2
Explanation:
Step 1 (slow): H₂O₂ + I⁻ -----> H₂O + OI⁻
Step 2 (fast): H₂O₂ + OI⁻ -----> H₂O + O₂ + I⁻
The rate determining step in a reaction mechanism is also considered as slowest step.
Slowest step is also considered its highest activation energy in energy profile diagram.
In this case intermediate (IO⁻) is formed.
Step 1 considered as a slowest step.
So, Rate = K [H₂O₂][I⁻]
Molecularity = 2
Explanation:
During a chemical reaction, the atoms of the original substances gain, lose or share their electrons with those of the substances with which they are reacting. The reaction creates new substances made up of a new combination of atoms and a different configuration of electrons.
