Chapter 10, Problem 10.12P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A rate law that is consistent with the experimental data is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The rate law of the chemical reaction states that the rate of reaction is the function of the concentration of the reactants and the products present in that specific reaction. The rate is actually predicted by the slowest step of the reaction.

If there is a chemical reaction which has reactants A and B that reacts to form products then their rate law is given as follows.

    $r=k{\left[A\right]}^a{\left[B\right]}^b$

Here, $\left[A\right]$ is the concentration of the reactant A, $\left[B\right]$ is the concentration of the reactant B and $k$ is the rate constant.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The species that is adsorbed on the catalyst surface is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

The rate law of the chemical reaction states that the rate of reaction is the function of the concentration of the reactants and the products present in that specific reaction. The rate is actually predicted by the slowest step of the reaction.

If there is a chemical reaction which has reactants A and B that reacts to form products then their rate law is given as follows.

    $r=k{\left[A\right]}^a{\left[B\right]}^b$

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A rate law whose mechanism is constant with rate law given in part (a) is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:
