Question:

For the disproportionation of p-toluenesulfonic acid,

3 ArSOH ArSOSAr + ArSO3H + HO

(where Ar = p-CH3C6H4—), the following data were obtained: t = 0 min, [ArSO2H] = 0.100 M; 15 min, 0.0863 M; 30 min, 0.0752 M; 45 min, 0.0640 M; 60 min, 0.0568 M; 120 min, 0.0387 M; 180 min, 0.0297 M; 300 min, 0.0196 M.

(a) Show that this reaction is second order.

(b) What is the value of the rate constant, k?

(c) At what time would [ArSO2H] = 0.0500 M?

(d) At what time would [ArSO2H] = 0.0250 M?

(e) At what time would [ArSO2H] = 0.0350 M?
