A reaction has a rate law of : rate = k [ClO3-] [Cl-] [H+]2. If the initial reaction rate is 3.2E-3 M/s, then what is the rate constant if the initial concentrations are [ClO3-]o= 0.10 M, [Cl-]o= 0.10 M, [H+]o= 0.20 M ? (units are M-3 " s-1) A) 1.6 B) 8.0 C) 1.2 D) 0.62 E) none of these
@Abhisar
Ok, so have you tried it first urself?
i think you would say 3.2 E-3 M/s = k [0.10] [0.10] [0.2] k= (3.2E-3/([0.10]*[0.1)]*[0.20])
Yes, that's correct c:
k= 0.064
Check for one thung!!!
so i guess D iis closest
No, you did a minor mistake !!!
actually wrong brackets... 1.6
A?
\(\sf Rate = k[ClO_3^-][Cl^-][H^+]^2\)
So, K should be equal to ???
1.6*0.10*0.20*0.10=3.2 E-3 (the initial rate) so k is 1.6
A :) thank you
That was incorrect :(
Nuuuuu!!! \(\sf K=\Large \frac{Rate}{[ClO_3^-][Cl^-][H^+]^2}\)
You need to keep the order as given, I said you did a mistake. look above.. :(
i got 1.6 when i calclulated that
It should be 8
\(\sf K=\Large \frac{3.2 \times 10^{-3}}{0.1\times 0.1 \times (0.2)^2}\)
why is 0.2 squared
Because the Rate Law is given as \(\sf Rate = k[ClO_3^-][Cl^-][H^+]^2\)
oh okay I didn't see that !
C;
thank you!
