Concept introduction:
Stoichiometric ratio represent the molar ratio of all the products and reactants and products, but not the intermediates participated in the reaction mechanism.
Molecularity is a theoretical concept and should not be negative, zero, fractional, infinite and imaginary. Molecularity is the total number of reactant molecules or atoms taking part in the
Answer to Problem 11.65PAE
Solution:
(a) Stoichiometric equation
(b) Molecularity
Step 1- 2
Step 2 − 2
(c) Experimental rate equation
(d) Intermediates
Explanation of Solution
(a) The molar ratio of the reactant molecules, products in balance equation is called stoichiometry. Some reactions take so many steps to achieve their final products. There can be so many intermediates. But those are not involved in the balanced equation. If a reaction takes so many steps to give their final products, by adding them together we can their stoichiometric equation.
Then we should cancel out same molecules present in both side, we can write overall reaction as follows,
(b) Molecularity is the total number of reactant molecules or atoms taking part in the chemical reaction.
Therefore, molecularity of step1 is 2 and molecularity of step 2 is also 2
(c) Rate equation can be written using either product or reactants. If take reactants, we should concern the reduction rate of reactants. If we take product, we should concern the growth rate of products.
Some reactions should follow many steps to give their final product. In between these steps they will form intermediates. Intermediates don’t involve in the overall reaction. And they cannot be separated out. Here,
(d) are intermediates since they were produced by interaction of reactants, but they involved in further reactions to result in different final products.
In a reaction mechanism, more than 1 step is involved although only one could be rate determining. Intermediates are formed within the process and are not present in the final stoichiometric equation.

- Go to the PhET Reactions and change to Angled shot to see the difference. (a) What happens when the angle of the collision is changed? (b) Explain how this is relevant to rate of reaction.arrow_forwardThe label on a bottle of 3% (by volume) hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, purchased at a grocery store, states that the solution should be stored in a cool, dark place. H2O2decomposes slowly over time, and the rate of decomposition increases with an increase in temperature and in the presence of light. However, the rate of decomposition increases dramatically if a small amount of powdered MnO- is added to the solution. The decomposition products are H2O and O2. MnO2 is not consumed in the reaction. Write the equation for the decomposition of H2O2. What role does MnO2 play? In the chemistry lab, a student substituted a chunk of MnO2 for the powdered compound. The reaction rate was not appreciably increased. WTiat is one possible explanation for this observation? Is MnO2 part of the stoichiometry of the decomposition of H2O2?arrow_forwardSubstances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?arrow_forward
