(a)
Interpretation:
The order of the reaction should be determined with respect to oxygen atoms.
Concept Introduction:
Rate Law can be expressed as an integrated rate law and a differential rate law.
Differential Rate Law: This describes the change in the concentrations of reactant as a function of time.
Integrated Rate Law: This describes the initial concentrations and the measured concentration of one or more reactants as a function of time.
(a)
Answer to Problem 36E
The reaction is first order reaction with respect to oxygen.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Data is given as:
Time (s) | |
0 | |
The order of reaction can be determined by plotting the graph between
For first order reaction:
For second order reaction:
For zero order reaction:
The given reaction is:
Now, if the reaction is first order with respect to oxygen, then the integrated law is expressed as:
If the reaction is second order with respect to oxygen, then the integrated law is expressed as:
If the reaction is zero order with respect to oxygen, then the integrated law is expressed as:
Time (s) | ||
0 | 22.3327 | |
21.36512 | ||
20.3376 | ||
19.33697 |
The graph between
The graph between
The graph between
From the above graphs, it is clear that the reaction is first order reaction with respect to oxygen as the graph is straight line graph.
(b)
Interpretation:
The overall rate law and value of rate constant should be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Rate Law can be expressed as an integrated rate law and a differential rate law.
Differential Rate Law: This describes the change in the concentrations of reactant as a function of time.
Integrated Rate Law: This describes the initial concentrations and the measured concentration of one or more reactants as a function of time.

Answer to Problem 36E
Rate law is expressed as:
Since, concentration of nitrogen dioxide is more in comparison to oxygen, thus, rate law is written as:
Rate constant for first order reaction is
Explanation of Solution

The order of reaction can be determined by plotting the graph between
For first order reaction:
For second order reaction:
For zero order reaction:
The given reaction is:
Rate Law for first is expressed as:
Since, it is given that nitrogen dioxide is present in large amount in comparison to oxygen.
Thus, rate law is expressed as:
Where,
Now, from the graph slope is given as:
Slope =
Put the values from graph,
Slope =
Slope =
Thus, value of
Now,
Put the values,
Thus, rate constant for first order reaction is

- The emission data in cps displayed in Table 1 is reported to two decimal places by the chemist. However, the instrument output is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Iron emission from ICP-AES Sample Blank Standard Emission, cps 579.503252562 9308340.13122 Unknown Sample 343.232365741 Did the chemist make the correct choice in how they choose to display the data up in Table 1? Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes.
