The iodide ion reacts with hypochlorite ion (the active ingredient in chlorine bleaches) in the following way: OCl- + I- → OI- + Cl- . This rapid reaction gives the following rate data:
[OCl4-] (M) [I-] (M) Initial Rate (M,s)
1.5 * 10-3 1.5 * 10-3
1.36 * 10-4 3.0 * 10-3 1.5 * 10-3 2.72 * 10-4
1.5 * 10-3 3.0 * 10-3 2.72 * 10-4 (c) Calculate the rate when [OCl-] = 2.0 * 10-3 M and [I-] = 5.0 * 10 - 4 M.

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Rate of Reaction

The rate of a chemical reaction measures how quickly reactants are converted into products. It is typically expressed in terms of concentration change over time, such as molarity per second (M/s). Understanding the rate is crucial for predicting how changes in concentration of reactants affect the speed of the reaction, which is essential for solving the given problem.

Average Rate of Reaction

Rate Law

The rate law is an equation that relates the rate of a reaction to the concentration of its reactants, typically in the form Rate = k[A]^m[B]^n, where k is the rate constant, and m and n are the reaction orders with respect to each reactant. Determining the rate law from experimental data allows us to predict how varying concentrations will influence the reaction rate, which is necessary for calculating the rate under new conditions.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry involves the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on balanced chemical equations. It provides the quantitative relationships between substances, allowing for the determination of how much of each reactant is needed or how much product will be formed. In this context, stoichiometry helps in understanding how the concentrations of OCl⁻ and I⁻ will affect the overall reaction rate.

The react ion between ethyl bromide 1C2H5Br2 and hydroxide ion in ethyl alcohol at 330 K, C2H5Br1alc2 + OH- 1alc2¡ C2H5OH1l2 + Br - 1alc2, is first order each in ethyl bromide and hydroxide ion. When 3C2H5Br4 is 0.0477 M and 3OH- 4 is 0.100 M, the rate of disappearance of ethyl bromide is 1.7 * 10-7 M>s. (c) How would the rate of disappearance of ethyl bromide change if the solution were diluted by adding an equal volume of pure ethyl alcohol to the solution?
