The slowest step of a particular reaction is found to be `1//2X_(2) + Y_(2) rarr XY_(2)`. The order of the reaction is

A

`2`

B

`3`

C

`3.5`

D

`1.5`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Slow step is:
`(1)/(2)X_(2) + Y_(2) rarr XY_(2)`
Hence,
`r = k[X_(2)]^(1//2)[Y_(2)]`
`OR = (1)/(2)+1 = 1(1)/(2)`

The rate law expresison is given for a typical reaction, n_(1)A + n_(2) B rarrP as r = k[A]^(n)[B]^(n2) . The reaction completes only in one step and A and B are present in the solution. If the reaction occurs in more than one step, then the rate law is expressed by consdering the slowest step, i.e., for S_(N)l reaction r = k[RX] . If the eraction occurs in more than one step and the rates of the steps involved are comparable, then steady state approximation is conisdered, i.e., the rate of formation of intermediate is always equal to the rate of decompoistion of the intermediate. Conisder the reaction: [[I_(2) underset(k_(1))overset(k_(2))hArr2I("rapid equilibrium")],[H_(2)+2I overset(k_(3))rarr 2HI("slow")]] If we increase the concentration of I_(2) two times, then the rate of formation of HI will
