Fill in the blanks in the following table for the reaction X+Y→Z the reaction is of first order w.r.t X and zero order w.r.t. Y.
Exp. | [X](molL−1) | [Y](molL−1) | Initial rate (molL−1s−1) |
---|---|---|---|
1. | 0.1 | 0.1 | 2 × 10−2 |
2. | A | 0.2 | 4 × 10−2 |
3. | 0.4 | 0.4 | B |
4. | C | 0.2 | 2 × 10−2 |
A=0.2molL−1,B=8×10−2molL−1s−1,C=0.1molL−1
A=0.4molL−1,B=4×10−2molL−1s−1,C=0.2molL−1
A=0.2molL−1,B=2×10−2molL−1s−1,C=0.4molL−1
A=0.4molL−1,B=2×10−2molL−1s−1,C=0.4molL−1
A=0.2molL−1,B=8×10−2molL−1s−1,C=0.1molL−1
Solution
Rate=k[X][Y]º
Rate is independent of conc. of Y and it depends only on the conc. of X and it is the first order reaction.
From exp. (1), 2×10−2=k(0.1) ….. (i)
Form exp. (2), 4×10−2=k(A) ….. (ii)
Dividing (ii) and (i), 2×10−24×10−2=k(0.1)k(A)=0.1A
⇒2×0.1=A
⇒A=0.2molL−1
From exp. (3), B=k(0.4) … (iii)
Diving (iii) and (i), 2×10−2B=k(0.1)k(0.4)=4
⇒B=4×2×10−2=8×10−2molL−1s−1
From exp. (4), 2×10−2=k(C) … (iv)
Dividing (iv) and (i), 2×10−22×10−2=k(0.1)k(C)=0.1C
⇒C=0.1molL−1
