Question

For the following expressions, state the order of the reaction with respect to each especies, the overall order of the reaction, and the units of teh rate constant k: rate= k[HI]^2[O2]/([H+]^(1/2))

Answer 1

hi =2, o2 =1, h+ =1/2. ovERALL= 2.5. iS THAT CORRECT? What about the units?

Answer 2

hi =2, o2 =1, h+ =1/2. ovERALL= 2.5. iS THAT CORRECT? What about the units?

Answer 3

The rate equation can be written as \(\sf rate= k[HI]^2[O2]/[H+]^{(1/2)}=k[HI]^2[O_2][H^+]^{-0.5}\)

So order wrt to [H+]=-0.5
Overall order = 2+1-0.5 = 2.5

Answer 4

Since, here, K = \(\sf\frac{Rate}{[HI]^2[O_2][H^{+}]^{(-1/2)}}\)

Unit of K = \(\frac{Conc.}{Sec} \times \frac{1}{Conc.^{2.5}}=Conc.^{-1.5}/sec=Mol^{-1.5}L^{1.5}/Sec\)

Answer 5

Where did -1.5 come from?

Answer 6

conc^(1-2.5) = con^(-1.5) that's how it came
