Question

The rate law for the following reaction: H2SiF6(aq)+2NaF(aq)+3H2O(aq)⟶Na2SiO3(s)+8HF(aq) is second order in H2SiF6, zero order in NaF and first order in H2O. By what factor will the reaction rate change if the concentrations of all reactants are tripled?

Answer 1

The rate law for the following reaction:

H2SiF6(aq)+2NaF(aq)+3H2O(aq)⟶Na2SiO3(s)+8HF(aq)

is second order in H2SiF6, zero order in NaF and first order in H2O.
