Explanation

$ (a)2H _{2}O _{2}\rightarrow 2H _{2}O+O _{2} $

We know, $ \dfrac{-1}{2}\dfrac{d[H _{2}O _{2}]}{dt} = \dfrac{-1}{2}\dfrac{d[H _{2}O]}{dt} = \dfrac{d[O _{2}]}{dt} $

$ \dfrac{d[H _{2}O]}{dt} = 2\dfrac{d[O _{2}]}{dt} = 2\times 3.6\,M\,min^{-1} $

$ \dfrac{d[H _{2}O]}{dt} = 7.2\,M\,min^{-1} $

$(b) \dfrac{-d[H _{2}O _{2}]}{dt} = \dfrac{2}{2}\dfrac{d[H _{2}O]}{dt} = \dfrac{-d[H _{2}O _{2}]}{dt} = 7.2\,M\,min^{-1} $ 

Option A is correct.

A Correct answer
Explanation

The integrated rate law expression for the inversion of can sugar (assuming first order kinetics) is as shown.
$\displaystyle k = \frac {2.303}{t} log \frac {r _0 - r _{\infty}}{r _t - r _{\infty}} $
For 60 minutes
$\displaystyle k = \frac {2.303}{60} log \frac {13.1 - (-3.8)}{11.6 - (3.8)} = 0.001549 $
For 120 minutes
$\displaystyle k = \frac {2.303}{120} log \frac {13.1 - (-3.8)}{10.2 - (3.8)} = 0.001569 $
For 180 minutes
$\displaystyle k = \frac {2.303}{180} log \frac {13.1 - (-3.8)}{9.0 - (3.8)} = 0.001544 $
For 360 minutes
$\displaystyle k = \frac {2.303}{360} log \frac {13.1 - (-3.8)}{5.87 - (3.8)} = 0.001551 $
Since, the value of k is constant, the reaction follows first order reaction.
The average value of k is $\displaystyle  \frac {0.001549+0.001569+0.001544+0.001551}{4} = \frac {0.0062135}{4} = 0.001553 : min^{-1}$
To determine the total time, substitute $\displaystyle r _t = 0 $ in the above expression.
$\displaystyle t = \frac {2.303}{k} log \frac {r _0 - r _{\infty}}{r _t - r _{\infty}} $
$\displaystyle t = \frac {2.303}{0.001553} log \frac {13.1 - (-3.8)}{0 - (-3.8)} = 966 : min $

Derive an expression for the Rate (k) of reaction :
$2N _{2}O _{5}(g)\rightarrow 4NO _{2}(g)+O _{2}(g)$


With the help of following mechanism:

$N _{2}O _{5}\overset{K _a}{\rightarrow}NO _{2}+NO _{3}$
$NO _{3}+NO _{2}\overset{K _{-a}}{\rightarrow}N _{2}O _{5}$
$NO _{2}+NO _{3}\overset{K _b}{\rightarrow}NO _{2}+O _{2}+NO$
$NO+NO _{3}\overset{K _c}{\rightarrow}2NO _{2}$

  1. $\displaystyle Rate=\frac{k _{a}\times k _{b}}{k _{-a}+2k _{b}}[N _{2}O _{5}]$
  2. $\displaystyle Rate=\frac{k _{a}\times k _{b}}{k _{-a}-2k _{b}}[N _{2}O _{5}]$
  3. $\displaystyle Rate=\frac{k _{a}\times k _{b}}{k _{-a}+k _{b}}[N _{2}O _{5}]$
  4. $\displaystyle Rate=\frac{k _{a}\times k _{b}}{2k _{-a}-2k _{b}}[N _{2}O _{5}]$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Rate $\displaystyle = k _b[NO _2][NO _3] $ .....(1)

But $\displaystyle \dfrac {[NO _2][NO _3]}{[N _2O _5]}=  \dfrac {K _a}{K _{-a} + 2k _b}$

Hence $\displaystyle [NO _2][NO _3]  =\dfrac {K _a}{K _{-a}+2k _b} [N _2O _5]$......(2)

Substitute equation (2) in equation (1):

$\displaystyle \displaystyle Rate=\frac{k _{a}\times k _{b}}{k _{-a}+2k _{b}}[N _{2}O _{5}]$
