The rate of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, depends on the concentration of iodide ion present. The rate of decomposition was measured at constant temperature and pressure for various concentrations of H2O2and of KI. The data appear below. Determine the order of reaction for each substance, write the rate law, and evaluate the rate constant.
Rate | [H2OJ | [Kll |
(mL min-’) | (mol L ’) | (mol L ’) |
0.090 | 0.15 | 0.033 |
0.178 | 0.30 | 0.033 |
0.184 | 0.15 | 0.066 |

To determine:
Order of reaction of each substance, rate law and rate constant
Explanation of Solution
Let following chemical reaction
Rate law for this reaction can be written as
The rate law for the given reaction can be written as
You have given three set of data. Put each in the above equation
So,
Putting these values on equation, you get
Putting these value in equation you, get
Putting these value in equation you, get
Hence
Hence overall order of reaction
Rate law can be written as
Putting the value
Hence rate law can be written as
It is the initial rates experiment method.

- So the thing is im trying to memorize VESPR Shapes in order to be able to solve problems like so, and I need help with making circles like the second image that's in blue or using an x and y axis plane in order to memorize these and be able to solve those type of problems. Especially like the ones given in the top / first image. (180 , 120 , 109.5) Can you help me with this.arrow_forwardDon't used hand raiting and don't used Ai solutionarrow_forward2.

- 2) There are many forms of cancer, all of which involve abnormal cell growth. The growth and production of cells, called cell proliferation, is known to involve an enzyme called protein farnesyltransferase (PFTase). It is thought that inhibitors pf PFTase may be useful as anticancer drugs. The following molecule showed moderate activity as a potential PFTase inhibitor. Draw all stereoisomers of this compound.
