Capitolo 14, Problema 49a,c
The gas-phase decomposition of NO2, 2 NO2(g) → 2 NO(g) + O2(g), is studied at 383°C, giving the following data:
Time (s) [NO2] (M)
0.0 0.100
5.0 0.017
10.0 0.0090
15.0 0.0062
20.0 0.0047
(a) Is the reaction first order or second order with respect to the concentration of NO2?
(c) Predict the reaction rates at the beginning of the reaction for initial concentrations of 0.200 M, 0.100 M, and 0.050 M NO2.
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the rate law for the reaction. Since the reaction is 2 NO_2 \(\rightarrow\) 2 NO + O_2, it is likely a second-order reaction with respect to NO_2.
Use the integrated rate law for a second-order reaction: \( \frac{1}{[A]} = kt + \frac{1}{[A]_0} \), where \([A]\) is the concentration of NO_2 at time \(t\), \([A]_0\) is the initial concentration, and \(k\) is the rate constant.
Calculate the rate constant \(k\) using the given data. Choose two data points, for example, \([NO_2]_0 = 0.100\, M\) at \(t = 0\, s\) and \([NO_2] = 0.017\, M\) at \(t = 5.0\, s\), and substitute into the integrated rate law to solve for \(k\).
Once \(k\) is determined, use the rate law \(rate = k[NO_2]^2\) to calculate the initial reaction rates for the given initial concentrations: 0.200 M, 0.100 M, and 0.050 M.
Substitute each initial concentration into the rate law to find the initial rate for each concentration. Remember, the rate is dependent on the square of the concentration for a second-order reaction.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Reaction Rate
The reaction rate is a measure of how quickly reactants are converted into products in a chemical reaction. It is typically expressed as the change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit time. Understanding how to calculate and interpret reaction rates is essential for predicting the behavior of a reaction under varying conditions.

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 orders of the reaction with respect to reactants A and B. This concept is crucial for predicting how changes in concentration affect the reaction rate.

Rate Law Fundamentals
Concentration and Its Effect on Reaction Rate
The concentration of reactants plays a significant role in determining the rate of a chemical reaction. Generally, an increase in the concentration of reactants leads to a higher reaction rate due to more frequent collisions between reactant molecules. This principle is fundamental when predicting reaction rates for different initial concentrations.
