Input interpretation
H_2O water + Na_2O_2 sodium peroxide + Ca(ClO)2 ⟶ O_2 oxygen + NaCl sodium chloride + Ca(OH)_2 calcium hydroxide
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + Na_2O_2 + Ca(ClO)2 ⟶ O_2 + NaCl + Ca(OH)_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 Na_2O_2 + c_3 Ca(ClO)2 ⟶ c_4 O_2 + c_5 NaCl + c_6 Ca(OH)_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Na, Ca and Cl: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_6 O: | c_1 + 2 c_2 + 2 c_3 = 2 c_4 + 2 c_6 Na: | 2 c_2 = c_5 Ca: | c_3 = c_6 Cl: | 2 c_3 = c_5 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3/2 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 4 c_6 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 H_2O + 2 Na_2O_2 + 2 Ca(ClO)2 ⟶ 3 O_2 + 4 NaCl + 2 Ca(OH)_2

Write the balanced chemical equation: 2 H_2O + 2 Na_2O_2 + 2 Ca(ClO)2 ⟶ 3 O_2 + 4 NaCl + 2 Ca(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 Na_2O_2 | 2 | -2 Ca(ClO)2 | 2 | -2 O_2 | 3 | 3 NaCl | 4 | 4 Ca(OH)_2 | 2 | 2 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) Na_2O_2 | 2 | -2 | -1/2 (Δ[Na2O2])/(Δt) Ca(ClO)2 | 2 | -2 | -1/2 (Δ[Ca(ClO)2])/(Δt) O_2 | 3 | 3 | 1/3 (Δ[O2])/(Δt) NaCl | 4 | 4 | 1/4 (Δ[NaCl])/(Δt) Ca(OH)_2 | 2 | 2 | 1/2 (Δ[Ca(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) = -1/2 (Δ[Na2O2])/(Δt) = -1/2 (Δ[Ca(ClO)2])/(Δt) = 1/3 (Δ[O2])/(Δt) = 1/4 (Δ[NaCl])/(Δt) = 1/2 (Δ[Ca(OH)2])/(Δt) (assuming constant volume and no accumulation of intermediates or side products)
