Question

1.

The reaction of fluorine gas and chlorine dioxide gas is first order in fluorine and first order in chlorine dioxide. The reaction has a rate constant of 1.23 M-1 s-1. Calculate the rate of the reaction when [F2] = 0.100 M and [ClO2] = 0.892 M.

use either decimal or 1.23E-4 notation

2.

Dinitrogen tetroxide gas decomposes into NO2(g) by a first order mechanism. The half-life of this reaction at 400.0 K is 1.77 seconds.

Given: The [N2O4]o = 0.200 M.

Calculate the [NO2] after 4.00 seconds. Report answer in Molarity

Explanation / Answer

1. Given,

k=1.23 M-1s-1

Also reaction is 1st order wrt F2 and ClO2

ie,

ra=k[F2][ClO2]

=1.23*0.10*0.892

rate of reactio=0.1098 M/sec

____________

2.

Given, t1/2=1.77 sec

k=0.693/k=0.693/1.77=0.3915 s-1

Also[N2O4]0=0.200M

For 1st order reaction

ln([N2O4]/[N2O4]0)=-kt

ln([N2O4]/0.200)=-0.3915*4.00

[N2O4]=0.042 M
