Input interpretation
NaOH sodium hydroxide + Mn(NO_3)_2 manganese(II) nitrate ⟶ NaNO_3 sodium nitrate + Mn(OH)_2 manganese hydroxide
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NaOH + Mn(NO_3)_2 ⟶ NaNO_3 + Mn(OH)_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NaOH + c_2 Mn(NO_3)_2 ⟶ c_3 NaNO_3 + c_4 Mn(OH)_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, Na, O, Mn and N: H: | c_1 = 2 c_4 Na: | c_1 = c_3 O: | c_1 + 6 c_2 = 3 c_3 + 2 c_4 Mn: | c_2 = c_4 N: | 2 c_2 = c_3 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 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 NaOH + Mn(NO_3)_2 ⟶ 2 NaNO_3 + Mn(OH)_2

Construct the rate of reaction expression for: NaOH + Mn(NO_3)_2 ⟶ NaNO_3 + Mn(OH)_2 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: 2 NaOH + Mn(NO_3)_2 ⟶ 2 NaNO_3 + Mn(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 NaOH | 2 | -2 Mn(NO_3)_2 | 1 | -1 NaNO_3 | 2 | 2 Mn(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 NaOH | 2 | -2 | -1/2 (Δ[NaOH])/(Δt) Mn(NO_3)_2 | 1 | -1 | -(Δ[Mn(NO3)2])/(Δt) NaNO_3 | 2 | 2 | 1/2 (Δ[NaNO3])/(Δt) Mn(OH)_2 | 1 | 1 | (Δ[Mn(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[NaOH])/(Δt) = -(Δ[Mn(NO3)2])/(Δt) = 1/2 (Δ[NaNO3])/(Δt) = (Δ[Mn(OH)2])/(Δt) (assuming constant volume and no accumulation of intermediates or side products)
