![The below reaction follows second order rate kinetics and proceeds via a
bimolecular mechanism.
KCNCH3B1 -» KBr + CH3CN
If the concentration of potassium bromide were doubled, how many times
faster would the reaction go? If the concentration of CH3Br were doubled.
How much faster would the reaction go?

- Was wondering to get help on thisarrow_forwardIn a particular reaction, BrO3- + 5 Br- + H3O+ → 3 Br2 + 9 H2O , the following table below is completed with the initial concentrations of each reactant and the initial rate for each trial. What is the rate constant (k) for this reaction? Extra Credit: Calculate the rate of this reaction when [BrO3-] = 0.50 M, [Br-] = 0.25 M, and [H3O+] = 0.35 Marrow_forward2. Imagine you run a reaction whose free energy of activation (AG*) is 18 kcal/mol. If it were a first order reaction, its’ half life (the time for half the starting material to go away) or half the product to form (assuming a 100% yield) would by In2/k where k is the rate constant. How long will it take for the reaction to be done if you run the reaction in an ice-salt bath at room temperature (20 °C) if the rate constant were 1 x 104/sec?arrow_forward
