Question
I have came up with the molarity of bothsolutions , time, seconds and rate. the only problem that I am having is how to come up with it in joules and how to plot the graph . it would be nice if u can explain it in details to me . I would really appreciate the help since I'm finding the chapter of kinetics a little difficult for me.. thanks.
Explanation / Answer
This was a iodine clock reaction
IO3 - + 3 H2SO3 = I- + 3 SO4 2- + 6 H+ (the slow step)
The rate law is first order for both reactants
Rate = k[IO3 -][ H2SO3]
Your TIME values look wrong.
In the 1st table replace 39s by 23 s and recalculate rate.
In the 2nd table replace 54 s by 84 s , 105 s by 155 s and recalculate rates.
For each concentration of KIO3 calculate the ratio R1/R2 = k1/k2 (4 values). Calculate the average value for k1/k2.
To simplify, I will suppose you have obtained the average k1/k2=2
The activation energy (Arrhenius law)
Ea = - 8.314 J/mol.K ln 2 / (1/298K – 1/283K)
= - 5.763J/mol.K / (0.003356 K-1 – 0.003534 K-1) =
= - 5.763J/mol.K / ( - 0.000178 K-1)
= 32 400 J/mol = 32.4 kJ/mol
The plot Rate vs [KIO3] is a straight line (plot R1 and R2 as separate lines).
The plot Rate vs Time is also common. I suggest you to plot also Rate vs. 1/t to obtain a line.
