The instantaneous rate of disappearance of $\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}$ion in the following reaction is $4.56 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Ms}^{-1}$ $2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+10 \mathrm{I}^{-}+16 \mathrm{H}^{+} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}+5 \mathrm{I}_2+8 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ The rate of appearance $\mathrm{I}_2$ is :
  1. $4.56 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{Ms}^{-1}$
  2. $1.14 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{Ms}^{-1}$
  3. $1.14 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Ms}^{-1}$
  4. $5.7 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Ms}^{-1}$

Solution

Given $-\frac{d \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}}{d t}=4.56 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Ms}^{-1}$ From the reaction given, $\begin{aligned} & -\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{dMnO}_4^{-}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{4.56 \times 10^{-3}}{2} \mathrm{Ms}^{-1} \\ & -\frac{1}{2} \frac{d \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}}{d t}=\frac{1}{5} \frac{d \mathrm{I}_2}{d t} \\ & \therefore-\frac{5}{2} \frac{d \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}}{d t}=\frac{d \mathrm{I}_2}{d t} \end{aligned}$ On substituting the given value $\therefore \frac{d \mathrm{I}_2}{d t}=\frac{4.56 \times 10^{-3} \times 5}{2}=1.14 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{s}$
