Respuesta :

Answer:

ai) Rate law,  [tex]Rate = k [CH_3 Cl] [Cl_2]^{0.5}[/tex]

aii) Rate constant, k = 1.25

b) Overall order of reaction = 1.5

Explanation:

Equation of Reaction:

[tex]CH_{3} Cl (g) + 3 Cl_2 (g) \rightarrow CCl_4 (g) + 3 HCl (g)[/tex]

If [tex]A + B \rightarrow C + D[/tex], the rate of backward reaction is given by:  

[tex]Rate = k [A]^{a} [B]^{b}\\k = \frac{Rate}{ [A]^{a} [B]^{b}}\\k = \frac{Rate}{ [CH_3 Cl]^{a} [Cl_2]^{b}}[/tex]

k is constant for all the stages

Using the information provided in lines 1 and 2 of the table:

[tex]0.014 / [0.05]^a [0.05]^b = 00.029/ [0.100]^a [0.05]^b\\0.014 / [0.05]^a [0.05]^b = 00.029/ [2*0.05]^a [0.05]^b\\0.014 / = 0.029/ 2^a\\2^a = 2.07\\a = 1[/tex]

Using the information provided in lines 3 and 4 of the table and insering the value of a:

[tex]0.041 / [0.100]^a [0.100]^b = 0.115 / [0.200]^a [0.200]^b\\0.041 / [0.100]^a [0.100]^b = 0.115 / [2 * 0.100]^a [2 * 0.100]^b\\[/tex]

[tex]0.041 = 0.115 / [2 ]^a [2]^b\\ \[[2 ]^a [2]^b = 0.115/0.041\\ \[[2 ]^a [2]^b = 2.80\\\[[2 ]^1 [2]^b = 2.80\\\[[2]^b = 1.40\\b = \frac{ln 1.4}{ln 2} \\b = 0.5[/tex]

The rate law is: [tex]Rate = k [CH_3 Cl] [Cl_2]^{0.5}[/tex]

The rate constant [tex]k = \frac{Rate}{ [CH_3 Cl]^{a} [Cl_2]^{b}}[/tex] then becomes:

[tex]k = 0.014 / ( [0.050] [0.050]^(0.5) )\\k = 1.25[/tex]

b) Overall order of reaction =  a + b

Overall order of reaction = 1 + 0.5

Overall order of reaction = 1.5

The rate law is for this reaction is    [tex]r = 1.25 M^{-0.5} s^{-1} [CH_3Cl] [Cl_2]^{0.5}[/tex]

where the rate constant is k = [tex]1.25 M^{-0.5} s^{-1}[/tex] and the overall order of the reaction is 1.5.

Let's consider the following reaction.

CH₃Cl(g) + 3 Cl₂(g) → CCl₄(g) + 3 HCl(g)

What is the rate law?

The rate law for a chemical reaction is an equation that relates the reaction rate with the concentrations of the reactants.

The  rate law for this reaction is:

r = k [CH₃Cl]ᵃ [Cl₂]ᵇ

where,

  • r is the initial rate.
  • k is the rate constant.
  • a is the reaction order for CH₃Cl.
  • b is the reaction order for Cl₂.

If we write the ratio r₂/r₁, we get:

r₂/r₁ = k [CH₃Cl]₂ᵃ [Cl₂]₂ᵇ / k [CH₃Cl]₁ᵃ [Cl₂]₁ᵇ

r₂/r₁ = {[CH₃Cl]₂/ [CH₃Cl]₁}ᵃ

(0.029 M/s)/(0.014 M/s) = {0.100M/0.050 M}ᵃ

a ≈ 1

If we write the ratio r₃/r₂, we get:

r₃/r₂ = k [CH₃Cl]₃ᵃ [Cl₂]₃ᵇ / k [CH₃Cl]₂ᵃ [Cl₂]₂ᵇ

r₃/r₂ = {[Cl₂]₃/[Cl₂]₂}ᵇ

(0.041 M/s)/(0.029 M/s) = {0.100 M/0.050 M}ᵇ

b ≈ 0.5

So far, the rate law is:

[tex]r = k [CH_3Cl] [Cl_2]^{0.5}[/tex]

Let's use the values of the first experiment to find the value of the rate constant.

[tex]k = \frac{r}{[CH_3Cl][Cl_2]^{0.5} } = \frac{0.014 M/s}{(0.050 M)(0.050 M)^{0.5} } = 1.25 M^{-0.5} s^{-1}[/tex]

The final rate law is:

[tex]r = 1.25 M^{-0.5} s^{-1} [CH_3Cl] [Cl_2]^{0.5}[/tex]

What is the overall order of the reaction?

It is the sum of the individual orders of reaction.

a + b = 1 + 0.5 = 1.5

The rate law is for this reaction is    [tex]r = 1.25 M^{-0.5} s^{-1} [CH_3Cl] [Cl_2]^{0.5}[/tex]

where the rate constant is k = [tex]1.25 M^{-0.5} s^{-1}[/tex] and the overall order of the reaction is 1.5.
