Chapter 19, Problem 19.116QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The order of the reaction from the given information has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Rate of a reaction: It represents the speed at which a chemical reaction runs.  How much concentration of substrates (reactants) consumed and how much concentration of targets (products) formed in a unit of time is said to be rate of reaction.

• Rate of reaction depends on time, temperature, pressure, concentration, and $\text{pH}$  of the reaction.

Order of a reaction:  The sum of exponents of the concentrations in the rate law for the reaction is said to be order of a reaction.

To determine the order of the reaction from the given information

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

How long does it take for a sample of Sucrose to be 95% hydrolyzed has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Rate of a reaction: It represents the speed at which a chemical reaction runs.  How much concentration of substrates (reactants) consumed and how much concentration of targets (products) formed in a unit of time is said to be rate of reaction.

• Rate of reaction depends on time, temperature, pressure, concentration, and $\text{pH}$ of the reaction.

Order of a reaction:  The sum of exponents of the concentrations in the rate law for the reaction is said to be order of a reaction.

To identify how long does it take for a sample of sucrose to be 95% hydrolyzed

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Why the rate law does not include $\text{[water]}$ even though water is a reactant has to be explained.
