Consider the following data for the reaction:
2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⟶ 2SO3(g)
Can someone show me step by step on how to solve this?
Experiment | [SO2] | [O2] | rate (M/s) |
1 | 0.100 | 0.300 | 0.0600 |
2 | 0.100 | 0.100 | 0.0200 |
3 | 0.400 | 0.100 | 0.3200 |
The rate constant for the reaction is: (omit units)
order .w.r.t SO2
r1/r2 = (a1/a2)^n
(0.1/0.4) = (0.02/0.032)^n
n = 3
order .w.r.t O2
r1/r2 = (a1/a2)^n
(0.3/0.1) = (0.06/0.02)^n
n = 1
so that,
rate = k[SO2]^3[O2]
K = rate constant = rate / [SO2]^3[O2]
= 0.06/(0.1^3*0.3)
= 200
