Answer to Problem 17F.1ST

The rate constant for the activation step in the mechanism was 24.69dm3mols-1.

Explanation of Solution

Effective rate constant (Lindemann-Hinshelwood mechanism):

  1kr=1ka[A](1).

Given data is as follows:

  kr,1=1.70×10-3s-1;kr,2=2.20×10-4s-1[A]1=4.37×10-4moldm-3;[A]2=1.00×10-5moldm-3.

By substituting the given value into the equation (1) as follows,

  1kr,21kr,1=1ka[1[A]21[A]1]12.20×10-4s-111.70×10-3s-1=1ka[11.00×10-5moldm-314.37×10-4moldm-3](17.0×10-4s-1)(2.20×10-4s-1)3.74×10-7s-2=1ka[(4.37×10-4moldm-3)(1.00×10-5moldm-3)4.37×10-9(moldm-3)2]3.957×103s=1ka[9.77×104mol1dm3]ka=9.77×104mol1dm33.957×103s=24.69dm3mols-1.

Therefore, the rate constant for the activation step in the mechanism was 24.69dm3mols-1.
