(a)
Interpretation:
Average
Concept Introduction:
Consider the following reaction.
Where
Where,
Rate of the reaction can be expressed in terms of change in concentration of reactant and products by multiplying the reciprocal of the corresponding stoichiometric co-efficient to that.
When the rate is expressed in terms of change in reactant concentration, a minus sign has to be given. Since change in time will be a positive quantity and reactant concentration decreases with time change in concentration of reactant will be negative. So in order to make the rate a positive quantity negative sign is given.
But if the rate is expressed in terms of change in concentration of products, which is a positive quantity, no need of negative sign in the rate expression.

- Give at least two physical properties that might be used to determine the rate of a reaction.arrow_forwardThe label on a bottle of 3% (by volume) hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, purchased at a grocery store, states that the solution should be stored in a cool, dark place. H2O2decomposes slowly over time, and the rate of decomposition increases with an increase in temperature and in the presence of light. However, the rate of decomposition increases dramatically if a small amount of powdered MnO- is added to the solution. The decomposition products are H2O and O2. MnO2 is not consumed in the reaction. Write the equation for the decomposition of H2O2. What role does MnO2 play? In the chemistry lab, a student substituted a chunk of MnO2 for the powdered compound. The reaction rate was not appreciably increased. WTiat is one possible explanation for this observation? Is MnO2 part of the stoichiometry of the decomposition of H2O2?arrow_forwardConsider the following statements: In general, the rate of a chemical reaction increases a bit at first because it takes a while for the reaction to get warmed up. After that, however, the rate of the reaction decreases because its rate is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and these are decreasing. Indicate everything that is correct in these statements, and indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect statements and explain.arrow_forward
