The following data were measured for the reaction BF3(g)+NH3(g)→F3BNH3(g):
Experiment | [BF3](M) | [NH3](M) | Initial Rate (M/s) |
1 | 0.250 | 0.250 | 0.2130 |
2 | 0.250 | 0.125 | 0.1065 |
3 | 0.200 | 0.100 | 0.0682 |
4 | 0.350 | 0.100 | 0.1193 |
5 | 0.175 | 0.100 | 0.0596 |
Part D What is the rate when [BF3]= 0.150 M and [NH3]= 0.530 M ?
see experiment 1 and 2:
[NH3] becomes half and [BF3] constant, rate also become half
So, order of NH3 is 1
see experiment 3 and 4:
[NH3] constant and [BF3] becomes 1.75 times, rate also becomes 1.75
times
So, order of [BF3] is 1
rate = k [BF3] [NH3]
to find k put values from experiment 1
rate = k [BF3] [NH3]
0.2130 = k * 0.250 * 0.250
k = 3.408
so,
rate = 3.408 * [BF3] [NH3]
D)
put given values
rate = 3.408 * [BF3] [NH3]
rate = 3.408 *0.150*0.530
= 0.271 M/s
Answer: 0.271 M/s
