MCQ
The reaction rate for the reaction

$\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_{4}\right]^{2-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightleftharpoons\left[\mathrm{Pt}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right) \mathrm{Cl}_{3}\right]^{-}+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$

was measured as a function of concentrations of different species. It was observed that

$\frac{-\mathrm{d}\left[\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_{4}\right]^{2-}\right]}{\mathrm{dt}}=4.8 \times 10^{-5}\left[\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_{4}\right]^{2-}\right]-2.4 \times10^{-3}\left[\left[\mathrm{Pt}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right) \mathrm{Cl}_{3}\right]^{-}\right]\left[\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\right]$

where square brackets are used to denote molar concentrations. The equilibrium constant $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{c}}=....$. (Nearest integer)

  • A
    $500$
  • $50$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $0.5$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$50$
b
${\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_{4}\right]^{-2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightleftharpoons\left[\mathrm{Pt}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right) \mathrm{Cl}_{3}\right]^{-}+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}}$

$\frac{-\mathrm{d}\left[\mathrm{Pt} \mathrm{Cl}_{4}\right]^{-2}}{\mathrm{dt}}=4.8 \times 10^{-5}\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_{4}^{-2}\right]-2.4 \times 10^{3}$

${\left[\mathrm{Pt}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right) \mathrm{Cl}_{3}\right][\dot{\mathrm{u}}]}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{eq}}=\frac{\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}}{\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{b}}}=\frac{4.8 \times 10^{-5}}{2.4 \times 10^{-3}}=0.02$
