14.3 Extended Response Section

16) A reacton A + B → C obeys the following rate law: Rate = k[B]2.

(a) If [A] is doubled, how will the rate change? Will the rate constant change? Explain.

(b) What are the reaction orders for A and B?

5
 (c) What are the units of the rate constant?

17) Consider the following reaction:

2 NO (g) + 2 H2 (g) → N2 (g) + 2 H2O (g)

(a) The rate law for this reaction is first order in H2 and second order in NO. Write the rate law.

(b) If the rate constant for this reaction at 1000 K is 6.0 x 104 M– 2 s- 1, what is the reaction rate when
[NO] = 0.025 M and [H2] = 0.015 M?

(c) What is the reaction rate at 1000 K when the concentration of NO is increased to 0.10 M , while the
concentration of H2 is 0.010 M?

18) The reaction

2 ClO2 (aq) + 2 OH – (aq) → ClO3 – (aq) + ClO2 – (aq) + H2O (l)

Experiment [ClO2], M [OH – ], M Rate, M/s
1 0.060 0.030 0.0248

16) a) If [A] is doubled, there will be no change in the rate or the rate constant. The overall rate is unchanged
because [A] does not appear in the rate law; the rate constant changes only with a change in
temperature.

b) The reaction is zero order in A, second order in B and second order overall.

c) units of k = = M– 1 s – 1
2

17) a) rate = k[H2][NO]2

b) rate = (6.0 x 104 M– 2 s- 1)(0.025M)2(0.15M) = 0.56 M/s

c) rate = (6.0 x 104 M– 2 s- 1)(0.10M)2(0.010M) = 6.0 M/s

18) a) From the data given, when [ClO2] increases by a factor of 3 (experiment 2 to experiment 1), the rate
increases by a factor of 9. When [OH – ] increases by a factor of 3 (experiment 2 to experiment 3), the rate
increases by a factor of 3. The reaction is second order in [ClO2] and first order in [OH – ].
Rate = k[ClO2]2[OH – ].

b) Using data from Expt. 2:

rate 0.00276 M/s
k= = = 2.3 x 102 M – 2 s –1

2 – 2
[ClO2] [OH ] (0.020 M) (0.030M)
c) rate = 2.3 x 102 M – 2 s –1
(0.010 M)2(0.025 M) = 5.8 x 10 – 4 M/ s
