In a transesterification reaction, a triglyceride reacts with an alcohol to form an ester and glycerol. Many students learn about the reaction between methanol (\({\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{OH}}\)) and ethyl acetate (\({\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{OCOC}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}\)) as a sample reaction before studying the chemical reactions that produce biodiesel:

\({\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{OH + C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{OCOC}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{ - - - C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{OCOC}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{ + C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{OH}}\).The rate law for the reaction between methanol and ethyl acetate is, under certain conditions, determined to be: rate =\(k\left( {{\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{OH }}} \right)\). What is the order of reaction with respect to methanol and ethyl acetate, and what is the overall order of reaction?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The orders with respect to each reactant order in \({\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{OH}}\)= 1; order in \({\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{OCOC}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}\)= 0; and the overall order of the reaction overall order = 1.

Step by step solution

01

Rate of a Reaction

The rate of reaction may be defined as the speed of the reactant reacting to obtain a product in a particular reaction at a particular time. The concentration of the reactant and product are represented in terms of mole/L.

\({\bf{rate = k}}{\left( {\bf{A}} \right)^{\bf{m}}}{\left( {\bf{B}} \right)^{\bf{n}}}^{}\)

02

Explanation

\({\bf{rate = k}}{\left( {\bf{A}} \right)^{\bf{m}}}{\left( {\bf{B}} \right)^{\bf{n}}}^{}\)\(\)

Here m = 1 and n =0

rate =\(k\left( {{\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{OH }}} \right)\)

Therefore:

The orders with respect to each reactant order in \({\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{OH}}\) = 1; order in \({\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{OCOC}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}\)= 0; and the overall order of the reaction overall order = 1.

The rate constant for the rate of decomposition of \({{\bf{N}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{5}}}\)to\({\bf{NO}}\) and \({{\bf{O}}_{\bf{2}}}\)in the gas phase is 1.66 L/mol/s at 650 K and 7.39 L/mol/s at 700 K:

\({\bf{2}}{{\bf{N}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{5}}}{\bf{(g) - - - 4NO(g) + 3}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g)}}\)

Assuming the kinetics of this reaction are consistent with the Arrhenius equation, calculate the activation energy for this decomposition.

Based on the diagrams in Exercise 12.83, which of the reactions has the fastest rate? Which has the slowest rate?

Regular flights of supersonic aircraft in the stratosphere are of concern because such aircraft produce nitric oxide, NO, as a by-product in the exhaust of their engines. Nitric oxide reacts with ozone, and it has been suggested that this could contribute to depletion of the ozone layer. The reaction \({\bf{NO + }}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{3}}} \to {\bf{N}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{ + }}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{2}}}\) is first order with respect to both NO and \({{\bf{O}}_{\bf{3}}}\) with a rate constant of \({\bf{2}}{\bf{.20 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{7}}}{\bf{mol}}{{\bf{L}}^{{\bf{ - 1}}}}{{\bf{s}}^{{\bf{ - 1}}}}\). What is the instantaneous rate of disappearance of NO when \(\left( {{\bf{NO}}} \right){\bf{ = 3}}{\bf{.3 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 6}}}}{\bf{ M}}\) and \({\bf{(}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{) = 5}}{\bf{.9 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 7}}}}{\bf{ M}}\)?

Account for the relationship between the rate of a reaction and its activation energy.

Thefollowingdatahave been determined for the reaction: \({{\bf{I}}^{\bf{ - }}}{\bf{ + OC}}{{\bf{l}}^{\bf{ - }}} \to {\bf{I}}{{\bf{O}}^{\bf{ - }}} + {\bf{C}}{{\bf{l}}^{\bf{ - }}}\)
