Answer to Question #223318 in Organic Chemistry for Jay

Question

What is the number of atoms of hydrogen in n moles of methane where n is the total order of the reaction. S₂O₈^2-_(aq) + 3I^-_(aq) → SO₄^2-_(aq) + I₃^-_(aq).such that this step is called the rate-determining step of the reaction (N_A represents the Avogadro constant).

A. 1/4(N_A) B. 1/3(N_A) C. (N_A) D. 1/2(N_A/4) E. N_A/16

Answer 1

Mole ratio = 1:3

Hence methane = 1/4

= 1/4(NA)
