Input interpretation
H_2SO_4 sulfuric acid + Ti titanium ⟶ H_2 hydrogen + Ti_2(SO_4)_3 titanium(III) sulfate
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2SO_4 + Ti ⟶ H_2 + Ti_2(SO_4)_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2SO_4 + c_2 Ti ⟶ c_3 H_2 + c_4 Ti_2(SO_4)_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S and Ti: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_3 O: | 4 c_1 = 12 c_4 S: | c_1 = 3 c_4 Ti: | c_2 = 2 c_4 Since the coefficients are relative quantities and underdetermined, choose a coefficient to set arbitrarily. To keep the coefficients small, the arbitrary value is ordinarily one. For instance, set c_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 3 H_2SO_4 + 2 Ti ⟶ 3 H_2 + Ti_2(SO_4)_3

Rate of reaction
Construct the rate of reaction expression for: H_2SO_4 + Ti ⟶ H_2 + Ti_2(SO_4)_3 Plan: • Balance the chemical equation. • Determine the stoichiometric numbers. • Assemble the rate term for each chemical species. • Write the rate of reaction expression. Write the balanced chemical equation: 3 H_2SO_4 + 2 Ti ⟶ 3 H_2 + Ti_2(SO_4)_3 Assign stoichiometric numbers, ν_i, using the stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, from the balanced chemical equation in the following manner: ν_i = -c_i for reactants and ν_i = c_i for products: chemical species | c_i | ν_i H_2SO_4 | 3 | -3 Ti | 2 | -2 H_2 | 3 | 3 Ti_2(SO_4)_3 | 1 | 1 The rate term for each chemical species, B_i, is 1/ν_i(Δ[B_i])/(Δt) where [B_i] is the amount concentration and t is time: chemical species | c_i | ν_i | rate term H_2SO_4 | 3 | -3 | -1/3 (Δ[H2SO4])/(Δt) Ti | 2 | -2 | -1/2 (Δ[Ti])/(Δt) H_2 | 3 | 3 | 1/3 (Δ[H2])/(Δt) Ti_2(SO_4)_3 | 1 | 1 | (Δ[Ti2(SO4)3])/(Δt) (for infinitesimal rate of change, replace Δ with d) Set the rate terms equal to each other to arrive at the rate expression: Answer: | | rate = -1/3 (Δ[H2SO4])/(Δt) = -1/2 (Δ[Ti])/(Δt) = 1/3 (Δ[H2])/(Δt) = (Δ[Ti2(SO4)3])/(Δt) (assuming constant volume and no accumulation of intermediates or side products)
