Reaction Rates Worksheet #3 1. For the reaction BrO3- + 5 Br- + 6H+ → 3Br2 + 3H2O, the value of -∆[BrO3-]/ ∆t = 1.5 x 10-2 M/s at a particular time. What is the value of ∆[Br-]/∆t at the same instant? 2. The reaction A + 2B → Products was found to have the rate law Rate = k[A] [B]2. While holding the concentration of A constant, the concentration of B was increased from x to 3x. Predict by what factor the rate of the reaction will increase. 3. For the hypothetical reaction A + B → Products, the following initial rates of reaction have been measured for the given reactant concentrations. What is the rate law expression for this reaction? Rate=k[A][B]2 Test [A] (M) [B] (M) Rate (M/hr) 1 0.010 0.020 0.020 2 0.015 0.020 0.030 3 0.010 0.010 0.005 4. Consider a chemical reaction involving compounds A and B that is found to be first order in A and second order in B. What will the reaction rate be for experiment 2? Ignore 5. The data below were determined for the following reaction: S2O82- + 3I- → 2SO42- + I3 What is the rate equation for this reaction? Rate=k[S2O8-][I-] Experiment [S2O82-] (M) [I-] (M) Initial Rate (M/s) 1 0.10 0.40 1.4 x 10-5 2 0.20 0.40 2.8 x 10-5 3 0.20 0.20 1.4 x 10-5 6. Consider the following rate data for the reaction below at a particular temperature. 2A + 3B → Products What is the rate equation for this reaction? (Table continues on next page) Experiment Initial [A] (M) Initial [B] (M) Initial Rate of Loss of A (M/s) 1 0.10 0.30 1.00 x 10-5 2 0.10 0.60 2.00 x 10-5 3 0.20 0.90 1.20 x 10-4 7. For the reaction A + B → C, the rate relationship is found to be Rate = k[A] [B]2. What is the overall reaction order for this reaction? The overall reaction is order is order two because the reaction rate is proportional to the product of the concentrations of two reactants. 8. For the rate law expression Rate = k[A][B]2. What happens to the rate if the concentration of B is increased by a factor of 2? The rate quadruples.. 9. Calculate the specific rate constant for the reaction A + B → C when the rate expression is Rate = k[A]2[B]. HELP 10. The following figure shows the energy diagram of some reactants changing into products. Explain what the numbers in the diagram represent. 40 kJ represents the activation energy, meaning the reaction is likely to be fast. The 100 Kj represents the change in heat of the reaction, meaning that the reaction is exothermic. 11. The following diagram shows the potential energy diagram for a reaction. List at least 3 things that this diagram tells you about the reaction. 1. Letters A and C represent the activation energy of a reaction-- So the reaction has a high activation energy meaning the reaction is likely to be slow. 2. The reaction is exothermic since the change in enthalpy is negative and the products have less energy 3. Since the reaction is exothermic, heat is given off so there is a decrease in energy from the beginning of the reaction to the end of it.
