(d) When

(a)
Interpretation:
To determine the order of reaction with respect to BF3, NH3 and overall for the following reaction:
Concept introduction:
Rate of a chemical reaction: It tells us about the speed at which the reactants are converted into products.
Mathematically, rate of reaction is directly proportional to the product of concentration of each reactant raised to the power equal to their respective stoichiometric coefficients.
Let’s say we have a reaction:
Answer to Problem 26QAP
Order of given reaction
With respect to NO2 =2
With respect to CO =0
Overall = 2.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Here the chemical reaction is:
Let’s assume the reaction to be ‘t’ order with respect to NO2 and ‘y’ order with respect to CO.
Then, rate law for experiment 1 in above reaction will be;
And, rate law for experiment 3 in above reaction will be;
Divide (1) by (2) to get value of ‘t’.
Thus, order with respect to CO is ZERO.
Now writing rate law for experiment 3 in above reaction will be;
And, rate law for experiment 4 in above reaction will be;
Divide (3) by (4) to get value of ‘y’.
Thus, order with respect to CO is ZERO.
And the order of reaction will be:
Thus, overall order of reaction is 2.
