Question
A possible mechanism for the reaction described by:
CO(g) + Cl2(g) → COCl2(g)
Identify any intermediate species + write the rate law for each step.
*I'm confused on how to identify intermediate species and why the rate law for 2 = k2[Cl]2
Answers: Cl(g) and COCl(g) are intermediate species. The rate laws are k1[Cl2], k2[Cl]2, k3[Cl][CO], and k4[COCl][Cl2], respectively.

- Which of the following statements about rate laws is FALSE? A) Rate laws can only be determined experimentally. B) Rate laws tell us information about the mechanism of the chemical reaction under study.

The rate law for the reaction H₂ (g) + I₂ (g) → 2 HI (g) was determined to be rate = k [H₂] [1₂], which led to a simple single-step bimolecular mechanism where an H₂ molecule simply collided with an I₂ molecule. In the 1960s, though, different teams found spectroscopic evidence for this mechanism: (1) (2) (3) I₂ (g) →21 (g) H₂(g) + I (g) → H₂I (g) H₂I (g) + I (g) → 2 HI (g) (fast) (fast) (slow) Show that this mechanism is consistent with the rate law: rate = k [H₂] [1₂]. To do this, assign individual rate constants for ALL forward and reverse reactions in the mechanism (I'm guessing k₁, k-1, k2, k-2 and k3). Then show that the overall rate law from combining individual rate laws for the mechanism steps yields rate = (some combination of k's) [H₂] [1₂], and thus k= (some combination of k's). Remember that there should be no reaction intermediates in the rate law, only reactants. \arrow_forward16 redonearrow_forward

Check all that apply. NO2(g) NO(g) + O(g) - O(g) + O2(g) 03 (g) The reaction is 2nd order overall. The first step is the slow step. Doubling NO, would quadruple the rate. Cutting O, in half would decrease the rate by a factor of 2. The molecularity of the first step is 1. Both steps are termolecular.

- The exponents in a rate law describe the effects of the reactant concentrations on the reaction rate and define the reaction order. Consider a reaction for which the rate law is: rate = k[A]m[B]n If m is 1, the reaction is first order with respect to A. If the exponent is 2, the reaction is second order with respect to A. If n is 1, the reaction is first order in B. If m or n is zero, the reaction is zero order in A or B. If m = 1 and n = 1, the overall order of the reaction is second. (m + n = 1 + 1 = 2). 1. What is the difference between a reaction rate and a reaction's rate constant? 2. What does it mean if a reaction is zero order with respect to a reactant? 3. Doubling the concentration of a reactant increases the rate of a reaction four times. What is the order of the reaction with respect to that reactant? 4. Doubling the concentration of a reactant increases the rate of a reaction four times. Tripling the concentration of a different reactant increases the rate of a reaction…arrow_forwardThe reaction 2 NO(g) + O2(g) --> 2 NO2(g) proceeds through the following mechanism: 2 NO(g) --> N2O2(g)N2O2(g) + O2(g) --> 2 NO2(g) (a) The second step of this mechanism is rate-determining (slow). What is the rate law for this reaction?
