1 markFor the reaction
C2H5Br (aq) + OH- (aq) → C2H5OH (aq) + Br - (aq)
the following data were collected at constant temperature:
[C2H5Br] / M | [OH-] / M | Rate / M s-1 |
|---|---|---|
3.0 x 10-3 | 2.0 x 10-2 | 4.0 x 10-4 |
6.0 x 10-3 | 2.0 x 10-2 | 8.0 x 10-4 |
6.0 x 10-3 | 4.0 x 10-2 | 1.6 x 10-3 |
What is the correct rate law for this reaction?
Rate = k [C2H5Br] [OH-]
Rate = k [C2H5Br] [OH-]2
Rate = k [C2H5Br]2 [OH-]
Rate = k [C2H5Br]2 [OH-]2

CaCO3 (g) + H2SO4 (aq) → CaSO4 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
The reaction between CaCO3 (s) and H2SO4 (aq) is represented by the equation above.
In a kinetics experiment, a 0.25 g sample of powdered CaCO3 (s) is added to a flask containing 50 mL of 1.5 M H2SO4 (aq) at 25 oC. The rate of the reaction is determined by measuring the volume of CO2 (g) produced over time.
Which of the following experimental changes is most likely to increase the rate of CO2 (g) production?
Using a 0.25 g sample of CaCO3 (s) chips instead of powdered CaCO3 (s).
Using 1.0 M H2SO4 (aq) instead of 1.5 M.
Using 100 mL of 1.5 M H2SO4 (aq) instead of 50 mL.
Warming the H2SO4 (aq) to 35 oC before its addition to the CaCO3 (s).
