What is the rate equation for the elementary termolecular reaction A + 2B⟶products? For 3A⟶products?

Short Answer

Expert verified

For any reaction, the rate is given by the product of the concentration of the reactant, where each reactant concentration is raised to the power of the stoichiometric ratio.

Step by step solution

01

Termolecular reaction

For elementary termolecular reaction \({\bf{A + 2B}} \to {\bf{products}}\).

\({\bf{Rate = }}\left( {\bf{A}} \right){\left( {\bf{B}} \right)^{\bf{2}}}\).

Each concentration term in the rate equation is raised to the power equivalent to the stoichiometry of the particular reactant.

02

Rate of Termolecular reaction involving same reactants

For elementary reaction \({\bf{3A}} \to {\bf{products}}\), the rate of reaction is given by

\({\bf{Rate = }}{\left( {\bf{A}} \right)^{\bf{3}}}\)

How will each of the following affect the rate of the reaction:

\({\bf{CO}}\left( {\bf{g}} \right){\bf{ + \;N}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{2}}}\left( {\bf{g}} \right) \to {{\bf{O}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{\;}}\left( {\bf{g}} \right){\bf{ + NO}}\left( {\bf{g}} \right)\) if the rate law for the reaction is rate = \({\bf{k(NO}}{}_{\bf{2}}{\bf{)(CO)}}\)?

  1. Increasing the pressure of \({\bf{NO}}{}_{\bf{2}}\) from 0.1 atm to 0.3 atm
  2. Increasing the concentration of CO from 0.02 M to 0.06 M.

Given the following reactions and the corresponding rate laws, in which of the reactions might the elementary reaction and the overall reaction be the same?

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{(a) C}}{{\rm{l}}_2}{\rm{ + CO }} \to {\rm{ C}}{{\rm{l}}_2}{\rm{CO}}\\{\rm{rate = }}k{{\rm{(C}}{{\rm{l}}_2}{\rm{)}}^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\rm{(CO)}}\\{\rm{(b) PC}}{{\rm{l}}_3}{\rm{ + C}}{{\rm{l}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ }} \to {\rm{ PC}}{{\rm{l}}_{\rm{5}}}\\{\rm{rate = }}k{\rm{(PC}}{{\rm{l}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{) (C}}{{\rm{l}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{)}}\\{\rm{(c) 2NO + }}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ }} \to {\rm{ }}{{\rm{N}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ + }}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{O}}\\{\rm{rate = }}k{\rm{(NO)(}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{)}}\\{\rm{(d) 2NO + }}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ }} \to {\rm{ 2N}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}\\{\rm{rate = }}k{{\rm{(NO)}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{(}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{)}}\\{\rm{(e) NO + }}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ }} \to {\rm{ N}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ + }}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}\\{\rm{rate = }}k{\rm{(NO)(}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{)}}\end{array}\)

What is the half-life for the decomposition of NOCl when the concentration of NOCl is 0.15 M? The rate constant for this second-order reaction is \({\bf{8}}{\bf{.0 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 8}}}}\)L/mol/s.

There are two molecules with the formula\({{\bf{C}}_{\bf{3}}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{6}}}\). Propene,\({\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{CH = C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}\), is the monomer of the polymer polypropylene, which is used for indoor-outdoor carpets. Cyclopropane is used as an anaesthetic:

When heated to 499\({\bf{^\circ C}}\), cyclopropane rearranges (isomerizes) and forms propene with a rate constant of\({\bf{5}}{\bf{.95 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 4}}}}{{\bf{s}}^{{\bf{ - 1}}}}\). What is the half-life of this reaction? What fraction of the cyclopropane remains after 0.75 h at 499.5\({\bf{^\circ C}}\)?
