Chapter 17, Problem 17A.3P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rate law for the reaction ${\text{2ICl(g) + H}}_{\text{2}}\text{(g) }\stackrel{}{\to }{\text{ I}}_{\text{2}}\text{(g) + 2HCl(g)}$ has to be given from the data shown in problem statement.

Concept Introduction:

Rate of a reaction:

Rate of a reaction is the change in concentration of reactant or product per unit time.  It is expressed in terms of decrease in concentration of any of the reactants and increase in concentration of any of the products.

Rate Law:

Rate law is experimentally determined and is used to predict the relationship between the rate of a reaction and concentration of the reactants.

For the general reaction:

    $\text{aA + bB }\stackrel{}{\to }\text{cC + dD}$

${\text{rate = k[A]}}^{\text{m}}{\text{[B]}}^{\text{n}}$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rate constant for the reaction ${\text{2ICl(g) + H}}_{\text{2}}\text{(g) }\stackrel{}{\to }{\text{ I}}_{\text{2}}\text{(g) + 2HCl(g)}$ has to be given from the data in problem statement.
