If the decomposition reaction of 1.4 M initial hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) occurs so that after 3 minutes, 0.83 M is left, what is the rate of the reaction? A. -0.0046 M/s B. -0.012 M/s C. -0.19 M/s D. -0.0032 M/s

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

@rvc @sweetburger What do you guys think?

rvc (rvc):

please stay with us @Vocaloid :) vera you may know the formula for the following question

rvc (rvc):

could you please write down the formula @vera_ewing

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

−Δ[Reactants]/ Δt or Δ[Products]/Δt

rvc (rvc):

\(\Large\rm Rate = Change~in~concentration~per~time\)

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

- (1.4 - 0.83) / 3 * 60 - initial ( 0 ) = approximately = - 0.003166 =- 0.0032 M/S Notice: In other example if there is coefficients with the reactants or products .. All these formulas are out.

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

@rvc, Change in concentration per time is average rate of reaction

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

So the answer is D?

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

I believe so.

rvc (rvc):

yep sorry for the mistake thanks

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Thank you! Who should I give the medal to?

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

No problem.

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

Give it to rvc

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

How about this one?

rvc (rvc):

no give it to trojan

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

@sweetburger Help please! @rvc

rvc (rvc):

do you know about the energy profile diagram?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Yes

rvc (rvc):

the starting of the curve is about the energy of reactants the middle part is the transition state and the latter part is the energy of products

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

So the answer is B?

rvc (rvc):

No

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

A?

rvc (rvc):

what difference do you see?

rvc (rvc):

i think its C since the values are different

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Are you 100% sure it's C?

rvc (rvc):

yes according to me its C

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Okay thanks! :)

rvc (rvc):

:)

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

How about this one?

rvc (rvc):

The question is asking about the least amount of time Which is the smallest no from the four options?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

C can't be correct??

rvc (rvc):

Min is greater than sec so you r right what remains next?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

I think the answer is A...do you agree?

rvc (rvc):

Check out the unit

rvc (rvc):

its in minutes

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Ohh so it's not A or C right?

rvc (rvc):

4.48 X 10^-5= 0.0000448 s^-1

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

So the answer is B?

rvc (rvc):

yep
