Question:

For the reaction : $ \ce{H_2 +I_2 -> 2HI} $ , the differential rate law is

Updated On: Aug 2, 2024
  • $ -\frac{d\left[H_{2}\right]}{dt}=-\frac{d\left[I_{2}\right]}{dt}=2 \frac{d\left[HI\right]}{dt} $
  • $ -\frac{d\left[H_{2}\right]}{dt}=-2\frac{d\left[I_{2}\right]}{dt}=\frac{d\left[HI\right]}{dt} $
  • $ -\frac{d\left[H_{2}\right]}{dt}=-\frac{d\left[I_{2}\right]}{dt}=\frac{d\left[HI\right]}{dt} $
  • $ -\frac{d\left[H_{2}\right]}{dt}=\frac{d\left[I_{2}\right]}{dt}=\frac{d\left[HI\right]}{dt} $

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$H _{2}+ I _{2} \longrightarrow 2 HI$

Rate of reaction $=\frac{-d\left[ H _{2}\right]}{d t}$
$=\frac{-d\left[ I _{2}\right]}{d t}= \frac{1}{2} \frac{d[ HI ]}{d t}$

or $\frac{-2 d\left[ H _{2}\right]}{d t}=\frac{-2 d\left[ I _{2}\right]}{d t}$
$=\frac{d[ HI ]}{d t}$

Rate of a Chemical Reaction

The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the change in concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

Consider the reaction A → B,

Rate of the reaction is given by,

Rate = −d[A]/ dt=+d[B]/ dt

Where, [A] → concentration of reactant A

[B] → concentration of product B

(-) A negative sign indicates a decrease in the concentration of A with time.

(+) A positive sign indicates an increase in the concentration of B with time.

Factors Determining the Rate of a Reaction:

There are certain factors that determine the rate of a reaction:

  1. Temperature
  2. Catalyst
  3. Reactant Concentration
  4. Chemical nature of Reactant
  5. Reactant Subdivision rate
