Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2SO_4 + KI + PbO_2 ⟶ H_2O + K_2SO_4 + I_2 + PbSO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2SO_4 + c_2 KI + c_3 PbO_2 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 K_2SO_4 + c_6 I_2 + c_7 PbSO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S, I, K and Pb: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_4 O: | 4 c_1 + 2 c_3 = c_4 + 4 c_5 + 4 c_7 S: | c_1 = c_5 + c_7 I: | c_2 = 2 c_6 K: | c_2 = 2 c_5 Pb: | c_3 = c_7 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 1 c_7 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 H_2SO_4 + 2 KI + PbO_2 ⟶ 2 H_2O + K_2SO_4 + I_2 + PbSO_4

Write the balanced chemical equation: 2 H_2SO_4 + 2 KI + PbO_2 ⟶ 2 H_2O + K_2SO_4 + I_2 + PbSO_4 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 | 2 | -2 KI | 2 | -2 PbO_2 | 1 | -1 H_2O | 2 | 2 K_2SO_4 | 1 | 1 I_2 | 1 | 1 PbSO_4 | 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 | 2 | -2 | -1/2 (Δ[H2SO4])/(Δt) KI | 2 | -2 | -1/2 (Δ[KI])/(Δt) PbO_2 | 1 | -1 | -(Δ[PbO2])/(Δt) H_2O | 2 | 2 | 1/2 (Δ[H2O])/(Δt) K_2SO_4 | 1 | 1 | (Δ[K2SO4])/(Δt) I_2 | 1 | 1 | (Δ[I2])/(Δt) PbSO_4 | 1 | 1 | (Δ[PbSO4])/(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[H2SO4])/(Δt) = -1/2 (Δ[KI])/(Δt) = -(Δ[PbO2])/(Δt) = 1/2 (Δ[H2O])/(Δt) = (Δ[K2SO4])/(Δt) = (Δ[I2])/(Δt) = (Δ[PbSO4])/(Δt) (assuming constant volume and no accumulation of intermediates or side products)
