Chapter 16, Problem 16STP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The correct answer regarding average reaction rate for the reaction SO2Cl2(g)SO2(g)+Cl2(g) needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Average reaction rate is calculated by using following formula

Averagereactionrate=Δ[reactant]Δt

Here, Δ[reactant] and Δt represent the reactant concentration and change in time.

The negative sign in front of the above formula indicates the decrease in concentration of the reactant to yield a positive average reaction rate.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 16STP

Option A is the correct answer.

Explanation of Solution

Experimental data of the reaction SO2Cl2(g)SO2(g)+Cl2(g) is as follows:

Time (min) [SO2Cl2](M) [SO2](M) [Cl2](M)
0.0 1.00 0.0 0.0
100.0 0.87 0.13 0.13
200.0 0.74 ? ?

Averagereactionrate=Δ[reactant]Δt …… (1)

Here, Δ[reactant] and Δt represent the reactant concentration and change in time.

Here, reactant is SO2Cl2 use the table for first 100 minutes to calculate the reaction rate. The change in reactant concentration is

Δ[SO2Cl2]=0.87M1.00M

And change in time is-

Δt=100.0min0.0min

Put these values in equation (1).

Averagereactionrate=Δ[reactant]Δt=Δ[SO2Cl2]Δt=0.87M1.00M100.0min0.0min=0.13molL100min

Averagereactionrate=0.13molL100min=0.13×102mol/L.min=1.3×103mol/L.min

Therefore, the average reaction rate is 1.3×103mol/L.min.

Conclusion

Option B, C, D and E are not correct. The calculation shows that the correct option is A.
