Charlie is frying an egg in a pan located over a gas burner. He develops a model to determine the energy produced by the flame i
n the gas burner by calculating the energy absorbed by the egg. Which assumption will charlie need to make in order for his model to be considered a closed system?.
The system would look like a closed system if no heat is lost from the flame or the egg to the surroundings.
<h3>What is a closed system?</h3>
A closed system is one in which there is no exchange of materials and energy with the environment. This implies that no energy is lost and also that no energy enters into the system.
Having said that, let us now examine Charlie's system. This system would approximate a closed system if no heat is lost from the flame or the egg to the surroundings.
Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.
(1)
k= rate constant
x = order with respect to L
y = order with respect to M
n =( x+y)= Total order
a) If [L] is doubled, the reaction rate will increase by a factor of 2:

b) If [M] is doubled, the reaction rate will increase by a factor of 4:
