Chapter 17, Problem 17.4P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Experimental method to measure rate of the reaction given below has to be described.

    ${\text{2H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}(aq)\to {\text{2H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}(l)+{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}(g)$

Concept Introduction:

Rate of a reaction depends on the species concentration that takes place in the reaction.  Chemical kinetic experiments are used in order to deduce the rate of reaction.  Rate law of a reaction can only be identified by experimental methods that are adopted.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Experimental method to measure rate of the reaction given below has to be described.

    $\begin{array}{l}\text{2HBr}(g)\to {\text{H}}_{\text{2}}(g)+{\text{Br}}_{\text{2}}(g)\\ colorlesscolorlessreddish-brown\end{array}$

Concept Introduction:
