For a reaction, X+Y rarr Product , quadrupling [x], increases the rate by a factor of 8. Quadrupling both [x] and [y], increases the rate by a factor of 16. Find the order of the reaction with suspect to x and y. what is the overall order of the reaction?

Answer»

Solution :`""x+y RARR "Product (z)"`
`"" x+y rarr z`
Condition - 1 `rArr 4x+y rarr 8`
Condition - 2 `rArrr 4x+4y rarr 16`
`""z=k[x]^(m)[y]^(n)"………………….(1)"`
`""8Z=k[4x]^(m)[y]^(n)"......................(2)"`
`""16z=k[4x]^(m)[4y]^(n)".....................(3)"`
Dividing EQ (2) by Eq (1) we get,
`(8z)/z=(k[4x]^(m)[y]^(n))/(k[x]^(m)[y]^(n))`
`8=4^(m) rArr 2^(3)=(2^(2))^(m) rArr 2^(3)=2^(2m), 2m=3, m=3//2`
1.5 order with respect to x.
Dividing Eq (3) by Eq (1) we get,
`""(16z)/z=(k[4x]^(m)[4y]^(n))/(k[x]^(m)[y]^(n))`
`""16=4^(m).4^(n)`
`""16=4^(2).4^(n)`
`""16/16=4^(n)`
`""1=4n`
`""THEREFORE n=0` [Zero order with respect to y]
Overall order of the reaction,
`""k[x]^(m)[y]^(n)`
`""k[x]^(1.5]y^(0)`
Order `=(1.5+0)=1.5`
