The reaction, 2 SO ₂(g)+ O ₂(g) 2 SO ₃(g) is carried out in a 1 dm ³ vessel and 2 dm ³ vessel separately. The ratio of the reaction velocities will be
Options
- A4: 1
- B8: 1
- C1: 8
- D1: 4
Correct answer
B. 8: 1
Step-by-step solution
The rate law expression is, r=k [ SO ₂ ]² [ O ₂ ] As, volume increase 2 times, concentration reduces by 1 2 times i.e., [ SO ₂ ]₁= [2 SO ₂ ] and [ O ₂ ]₁= [2 O ₂ ] array ll New rate, & r₁=k [2 SO ₂ ]² [2 O ₂ ] & r₁=8 r & r₁ r = 8 1 array
