Chapter 14, Problem 14.53QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The rate law for the reaction is to be predicted according to the given conditions.

Concept introduction: Rate law of a chemical reaction describes the relationship between concentrations of reactants and the rate of that particular reaction.

To determine: The rate law for the reaction if rate doubles when $\left[\text{BrO}\right]$ doubles.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The rate law for the reaction is to be predicted according to the given conditions.

Concept introduction: Rate law of a chemical reaction describes the relationship between concentrations of reactants and the rate of that particular reaction.

To determine: The rate law for the reaction if rate quadruples when $\left[\text{BrO}\right]$ doubles.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The rate law for the reaction is to be predicted according to the given conditions.

Concept introduction: Rate law of a chemical reaction describes the relationship between concentrations of reactants and the rate of that particular reaction.

To determine: The rate law for the reaction if rate is halved when $\left[\text{BrO}\right]$ is halved.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The rate law for the reaction is to be predicted according to the given conditions.

Concept introduction: Rate law of a chemical reaction describes the relationship between concentrations of reactants and the rate of that particular reaction.

To determine: The rate law for the reaction if rate is unchanged when $\left[\text{BrO}\right]$ is doubled.
