(a)
Interpretation:
The average rate of consumption of hydrogen is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The average rate of the reaction is referred to the change in the molar concentration in the distinct interval of time. Mathematically, the ratio of change in molar concentration of a reactant or a product to the change in the time interval gives the average
The average rate of consumption or the disappearance of reactant is negative. Mathematical expression is shown below.
The average rate of formation or the appearance of reactant is positive. Mathematical expression is shown below.
(b)
Interpretation:
The unique rate of reaction is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The unique rate of reaction is regardless of the reactant and products. It does depend upon the coefficient of the species in the balanced chemical reaction. There is no requirement of specifying the species in the unique rate of reaction.

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- The 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_forwardIodomethane (CH3I) is a commonly used reagent in organic chemistry. When used properly, this reagent allows chemists to introduce methyl groups in many different useful applications. The chemical does pose a risk as a carcinogen, possibly owing to iodomethanes ability to react with portions of the DNA strand (if they were to come in contact). Consider the following hypothetical initial rates data: [DNA]0 ( mol/L) [CH3I]0 ( mol/L) Initial Rate (mol/Ls) 0.100 0.100 3.20 104 0.100 0.200 6.40 104 0.200 0.200 1.28 103 Which of the following could be a possible mechanism to explain the initial rate data?

The reaction is represented by the equation above. Diagram 1 represents the uncatalyzed reaction and diagram 2 represents the catalyzed reaction one hour after the reactants were mixed. Which of the following correctly explains the experimental results represented in the particle diagrams? A Although the reaction is thermodynamically favorable because ΔG°<0 based on the value of K, only the catalyzed reaction could proceed in one hour because its reactant molecules had a higher average kinetic energy. B Although the reaction is thermodynamically favorable because ΔG°<0 based on the value of K, only the catalyzed reaction could proceed in one hour because it has a lower activation-energy reaction pathway. C The reaction is not thermodynamically favorable because ΔG°>0 based on the value of K, but…arrow_forward
