Question

(a) Given the following information: Rate = [Br-][C][H+]2 Give the order for each substance in the reaction. Give the overall order for the reaction. By what factor does the rate change for each of the following:

1) [Br-] is tripled

2)[C] is quadrupled

3)[H+] is halved

(b) Give the units of the rate constant if a reaction has each of the following overall orders and the reaction is measured in hours.

1) 3/2

2) 4th

(c) Give the overall reaction order that corresponds to a rate constant with each of the following units.

1) M^(5/2) min-1

2) sec-1

Explanation / Answer

a)

order of Br- = 1

order of C = 1

order of H+ = 2

overall order = 1 + 1 + 2 = 4

1) since order of Br- is 1 , tripling [Br-] will triple the reaction rate of reaction

Answer: 3 times

2) since order of C is 1 , quadrupling [C] will quadruple the reaction rate of reaction

Answer: 4 times

3) since order of H+ is 2 , halfing [H+] will make the reaction rate as 1/4 times

Answer: 1/4 times

b)

1) rate = k [A]^3/2

M/hr = k * M^3/2

k = M-1/2 . hr-1

Answer:

M-1/2 . hr-1

or

L1/2 mol-1/2 hr-1

2) rate = k [A]^4

M/hr = k * M^4

k = M-3 . hr-1

Answer:

M-3 . hr-1

or

L3 mol-3 hr-1

c)

1)

rate = k [A]

M/min = M^5/2 min-1 [A]

[A] = M^-3/2

order is -3/2

2)

rate = k [A]

M/s-1 = s-1 [A]

[A] = M

order is 1
