Chapter 19, Problem 19.35QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relative rates of the reaction in the given three containers have to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Rate law: It is an equation that related to the rate of reaction to the concentrations or pressures of substrates (reactants).  It is also said to be as rate equation.

Half-life: The time required for half of a reactant to be consumed in a reaction is said to be half-life.

• Half-life of a reaction is represented by the symbol as ${\text{t}}_{\raisebox{1ex}{$1$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right.}$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relative rates be affected if the volume of the each container were doubled has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Rate law: It is an equation that related to the rate of reaction to the concentrations or pressures of substrates (reactants).  It is also said to be as rate equation.

Half-life: The time required for half of a reactant to be consumed in a reaction is said to be half-life.

• Half-life of a reaction is represented by the symbol as ${\text{t}}_{\raisebox{1ex}{$1$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right.}$

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

 The relative half-life of the reactions in $\left(i\right)to\left(iii\right)$ has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Rate law: It is an equation that related to the rate of reaction to the concentrations or pressures of substrates (reactants).  It is also said to be as rate equation.

Half-life: The time required for half of a reactant to be consumed in a reaction is said to be half-life.
