Consider the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) → 2 HI(g). The reaction of a fixed amount of H2 and I2 is studied in a cylinder fitted with a movable piston. Indicate the effect of each of the following changes on the rate of the reaction. (a) An increase in temperature at constant volume
Consider the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) → 2 HI(g). The reaction of a fixed amount of H2 and I2 is studied in a cylinder fitted with a movable piston. Indicate the effect of each of the following changes on the rate of the reaction. (c) The addition of a catalyst
Consider the following concentration–time data for the reaction of iodide ion and hypochlorite ion (OCl-). The products are chloride ion and hypoiodite ion (OI-).
(a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction.
Consider the following concentration–time data for the reaction of iodide ion and hypochlorite ion (OCl-). The products are chloride ion and hypoiodite ion (OI-).
(b) Determine the rate law, and calculate the value of the rate constant.
Consider the following concentration–time data for the reaction of iodide ion and hypochlorite ion (OCl-). The products are chloride ion and hypoiodite ion (OI-).
(d) Propose a mechanism that is consistent with the rate law, and express the rate constant in terms of the rate constants for the elementary steps in your mechanism. (Hint: Transfer of an H+ ion between H2O and OCl- is a rapid reversible reaction.)
