<u>The given reaction is:</u>
F2 + ClO2 → 2FClO2
Rate = k[F2][ClO2]
<u>Explanation:</u>
The possible mechanism for this reaction can be broken down into two steps with the slow step being the rate determining step
Step 1: F2 + ClO2 → FClO2 + F ----------- Slow
Step 2: F + ClO2 → FClO2 ----------- Fast
-----------------------------------------------------------
Overall: F2 + 2ClO2 → 2FClO2
Rate = k[F2][ClO2]
Lets take 100 g of this compound,
so it is going to be 2.00 g H, 32.7 g S and 65.3 g O.
2.00 g H *1 mol H/1.01 g H ≈ 1.98 mol H
32.7 g S *1 mol S/ 32.1 g S ≈ 1.02 mol S
65.3 g O * 1 mol O/16.0 g O ≈ 4.08 mol O
1.98 mol H : 1.02 mol S : 4.08 mol O = 2 mol H : 1 mol S : 4 mol O
Empirical formula
H2SO4
The average mass of an atom is calculated with the formula:
average mass = abundance of isotope (1) × mass of isotope (1) + abundance of isotope (2) × mass of isotope (2) + ... an so on
For the boron we have two isotopes, so the formula will become:
average mass of boron = abundance of isotope (1) × mass of isotope (1) + abundance of isotope (2) × mass of isotope (2)
We plug in the values:
10.81 = 0.1980 × 10.012938 + 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)
10.81 = 1.98 + 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)
10.81 - 1.98 = 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)
8.83 = 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)
mass of isotope (2) = 8.83 / 0.8020
mass of isotope (2) = 11.009975
mass of isotope (1) = 10.012938 (given by the question)
