Question

Observation No. Time (in minute) Px (in mm of Hg)
1 0 800
2 100 400
3 200 200
At constant temperature and volume X decomposes as 2X(g)3Y(g)+2Z(g) , where Px is the partial pressure of X. What is the order of reaction with respect to X?
(i) Find the rate constant.
(ii) Find the time for 75% completion of the reaction.
(iii) Find total pressure when pressure of X is 700 mm of Hg.

Solution

Applying integrated rate law of first order kinetics k1=2.303tlog(PoPt)

=2.303100log(800400)

=2.303100log 2=6.932×103min1
In the two observations the values of rate constant remain same. Therefore it must be following the first order kinetics. Hence order of reaction with respect to X is one.
(i) Rate constant, k=6.932×103min1
(ii) 6.932×103=2.303tlog(10025)

t75%=200min.

(iii) 2X(g)3Y(g)+2Z(g)
In: 800 0 0
Fi: (8002P) 3P 2P
When the pressure of X is 700 mm of Hg then
8002P=700
2P=100
P=50 mm of Hg
Total pressure =8002P+3P+2P
=800+3P
=800+3×50=950 mm of Hg
