Chemical Kinetics Question 3

Question 3 - 2024 (27 Jan Shift 1)

Consider the following data for the given reaction

$2 HI _{(g)} \rightarrow H _{2(g)}+I _{2(g)}$

1 2 3
$HI\left(molL^{-1}\right)$ 0.005 0.01 0.02
Rate $\left(molL^{-1} s-1\right)$ $7.5 \times 10^{-4}$ $3.0 \times 10^{-3}$ $1.2 \times 10^{-2}$

The order of the reaction is ___________

Show Answer

Answer (2)

Solution

Let, $R=k[HI]^{n}$

using any two of given data,

$\frac{3 \times 10^{-3}}{7.5 \times 10^{-4}}=\left(\frac{0.01}{0.005}\right)^{n}$

$n=2$
