B. Rate = +Δ[HCl]/Δt
C. Rate = -Δ[ICl]/Δt
D. Rate = +(1/2)Δ[HCl]/Δt

Homework Answers

Answer #1

1.

units of rate = molL-1s-1

Units of concentration = molL-1

Hence for a general nth order reaction units of K = Units of rate / [units of concentration]n

n = order of the reaction

Hence Units of K = molL-1s-1 /[molL-1]n

Rate = K [A]2[B]2

overall order of the reaction = 2 + 2 = 4

Hence Units of K = molL-1s-1 /[molL-1]4 = L3 mol-3 s-1

Hence option (D) is correct annswer.

2.

Rate of a general reaction xA -------> yB is given as:

Rate of reaction = - 1/x[Rate of change of concentration of A] = + 1/y[rate of change of concentration of B]

- sign indicates concentration of reactants decreaseand

+ sign indicates the concentration of products increases

Hence potion (D) +(1/2)Δ[HCl]/Δ is the correct answer.
