Question

3H2C204(aq) + 2MnO4(aq) --> 6CO2(g) + 2MnO2(s) +2OH (aq) +2H20 (L) -Write a mathematical equation for the rate of reaction as related to the concentration of oxalic acid (H2C2O4). In addition, write a second equation describing the rate of reaction as related to the concentration of permanganate (MNO4). -What are the units associated with rates of reaction? -Write the rate law for this reaction. Use "k" for the rate constant, "x" for the order of oxalic acid, and "y"for the order of permanganate.

Explanation / Answer

The rate of reaction with respect to oxalic acid is

rate = -delta [C2H2O4] / delta t

The rate of reaction with respect to permanganate is

rate = -delta [MnO4] / delta t

Units associated with rate of reaction is M/s

Rate law = k [H2C2O4]^x[MnO4]^y
