Question

Questions 9 through 12 are based upon following mechanism proposed for the decomposition of hydrogen the peroxide using potassium bromide. A. H2O2 B (aq) + Be^- (aq) H2O(aq) + OBr^-(aq) Slow. B. H2O2(aq) + OBr^- (aq) H@O(aq) + Br^- (aq) + O2(g) Fast The overall reaction is: A. H_2O_2(aq) + OBr(aq) = H_2O(aq) + Br'(aq) + O_2(g) B. H_2O_2(aq) + Br'(aq) = H_2O(aq) + OBr'(aq) C. 2H_2O_2(aq) + Br^'(aq) = 2H_2O(aq) + OBr'(aq) + O_2(g) D. 2H_2O_2 (aq) = 2H_2O(aq) + O_2(g) E. 2H_2O_2(aq) + Br^(aq) = 2H_2O(aq) + Br'(aq) + O_2(g) The rate law for this reaction is: A. Rate = k[H_2O_2][OBr^] B. Rate = k[H_2O_2]^2 C. Rate = k[H_2O_2]^2[Br] D. Rate = k[H_2O_2][Br] E. Rate = k[H_2O_2][OBr]^2 Which of the following are reaction intermediates: A. H_2O B. Br' C. OBr ' D. None are reaction intermediates E. Both (B) and (C) are reaction intermediates.

Explanation / Answer

Q.No -9 -----(B)

We know slow step is rate determining step, hence slow step is overall the reaction.

Q.No-10. ------(D)

Rate law of the reaction

Rate = K[H2O2][Br-]

Where K is rate constant of the reaction

Q.No-11 -----(C)
