Chapter 8, Problem 8.27E

The following reactions are proposed. Make a rough estimate of the rate of each one $-$ rapid, slow, won’t react. Explain each answer.

a. ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\left(l\right)+{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\left(\text{aq}\right)\to {\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}\left(\text{aq}\right)$

b. ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}\left(\text{aq}\right)+{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\left(\text{aq}\right)\to {\text{H}}_4{\text{O}}^{\text{2+}}\left(\text{aq}\right)$

c. ${\text{3H}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right){\text{+N}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)\to {\text{2NH}}_{\text{3}}\left(\text{g}\right)$

d. ${\text{Ba}}^{\text{2+}}\left(\text{aq}\right)+{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}^{\text{2-}}\left(\text{aq}\right)\to {\text{BaSO}}_{\text{4}}\left(\text{s}\right)$
