Answer:
The initial rate of the reaction between substances P and Q was measured in a series of
experiments and the following rate equation was deduced.
[tex]rate = k[P]^{2} [Q][/tex]
Complete the table of data below for the reaction between P and Q
Explanation:
Given rate of the reaction is:
[tex]rate= k[P]^{2} [Q]\\=>[Q]=\frac{rate}{k.[P]^{2} } \\and \\\\\\\ [P]=\sqrt{\frac{rate}{k.[Q]} }[/tex]
Substitute the given values in this formulae to get the [P], [Q] and rate values.
From the first row,
the value of k can be calulated:
[tex]k=\frac{rate}{[P]^{2}[Q] } \\ =\frac{4.8*10^-3}{(0.2)^{2} 2. (0.30)} \\ =0.4[/tex]
Second row:
2. Rate value:
[tex]rate =0.4* (0.10)^{2} * (0.10)\\\\ =4.0*10^-3mol.dm^-3.s^-1[/tex]
3.Third row:
[tex][Q]=\frac{rate}{k.[P]^{2} } \\ =9.6*10^-3 / (0.4 *(0.40)^{2} \\ =0.15mol.dm^{-3}[/tex]
4. Fourth row:
[tex][P]=\sqrt{\frac{rate}{k.[Q]} }\\=>[P]=\sqrt{\frac{19.2*10^-3}{0.60*0.4} } \\=>[P]=0.283mol.dm^{-3}[/tex]
