Input interpretation
H_2O water + Cd cadmium + NiOOH ⟶ Ni(OH)_2 nickel(II) hydroxide + Cd(OH)_2 cadmium hydroxide
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + Cd + NiOOH ⟶ Ni(OH)_2 + Cd(OH)_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 Cd + c_3 NiOOH ⟶ c_4 Ni(OH)_2 + c_5 Cd(OH)_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Cd and Ni: H: | 2 c_1 + c_3 = 2 c_4 + 2 c_5 O: | c_1 + 2 c_3 = 2 c_4 + 2 c_5 Cd: | c_2 = c_5 Ni: | c_3 = 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 H_2O + Cd + 2 NiOOH ⟶ 2 Ni(OH)_2 + Cd(OH)_2

Write the balanced chemical equation: 2 H_2O + Cd + 2 NiOOH ⟶ 2 Ni(OH)_2 + Cd(OH)_2 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_2O | 2 | -2 Cd | 1 | -1 NiOOH | 2 | -2 Ni(OH)_2 | 2 | 2 Cd(OH)_2 | 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_2O | 2 | -2 | -1/2 (Δ[H2O])/(Δt) Cd | 1 | -1 | -(Δ[Cd])/(Δt) NiOOH | 2 | -2 | -1/2 (Δ[NiOOH])/(Δt) Ni(OH)_2 | 2 | 2 | 1/2 (Δ[Ni(OH)2])/(Δt) Cd(OH)_2 | 1 | 1 | (Δ[Cd(OH)2])/(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 = -1/2 (Δ[H2O])/(Δt) = -(Δ[Cd])/(Δt) = -1/2 (Δ[NiOOH])/(Δt) = 1/2 (Δ[Ni(OH)2])/(Δt) = (Δ[Cd(OH)2])/(Δt) (assuming constant volume and no accumulation of intermediates or side products)
