All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for freeExplain why the coefficients of an elementary step equal the reaction orders of its rate law but those of an overall reaction do not.
For the reaction , [C] vs. time is plotted:
How do you determine each of the following?
(a) The average rate over the entire experiment
(b) The reaction rate at time x
(c) The initial reaction rate
(d) Would the values in parts (a), (b) and (c) be different if you plotted [D] vs. time? Explain.
The decomposition of NOBr is studied manometrically because the number of moles of gas changes; it cannot be studied colorimetrically because both NOBr and Br2 are reddish-brown:
Use the data below to answer the following:
(a) Determine the average rate over the entire experiment.
(b) Determine the average rate between 2.00 and 4.00 s.
(c) Use graphical methods to estimate the initial reaction rate.
(d) Use graphical methods to estimate the rate at 7.00 s.
(e) At what time does the instantaneous rate equal the average rate over the entire experiment?
Time (s) | [NOBr] (mol/L) |
0.00 | 0.0100 |
2.00 | 0.0071 |
4.00 | 0.0055 |
6.00 | 0.0045 |
8.00 | 0.0038 |
