I. Rate Law for a Reaction

1. Chloroform (CHCl3) is a known anesthetic. It is also used to produce the refrigerant carbon
tetrachloride (CCl4) according to the reaction
CHCl3(g) + Cl2(g)  CCl4(g) + HCl(g)
Several experiments obtained the following data:
Initial Rate of
Experiment Initial [CHCl3] (M) Initial [Cl2] (M)
Reaction (M/s)

I 0.0011 0.014 2.60 x 10-4

II 0.0011 0.028 5.20 x 10-4

III 0.0022 0.028 2.08 x 10-3

IV 0.0022 0.014 1.04 x 10-3

Write the rate law expression for the reaction. Calculate the rate constant.

2. Sucrose (C12H22O11) inversion is the process by which the substance is converted into either glucose
or fructose (both have the formula C6H12O6). The process results in optical inversion (mirror image of
structures). The reaction follows a first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 3.6x 10 -3/s.
C12H22O11 + H2O  2C6H12O6

If a 0.15M C6H12O6 solution would undergo inversion at 25oC, what is its concentration after 2.0
minutes? What is the half-life of the reaction?

II. Standard Molar Entropy

Calculate the ΔSo for each given reaction.
a. 2H2 + O2  2H2O
Substance H2 O2 H2O

So (J/mol·K) 130.6 205.0 188.7

b. Ca3(PO4)2  3 Ca2+ + 2PO43-

Substance Ca3(PO4)2 Ca2+ PO43-

So (J/mol·K) 241.0 -53.1 -222.0
