Osmosis is the diffusion of water from a high concentration to a lower concentration
<span>So when the chemist combines Ethane (CH3CH3) and Chlorine (Cl2) with the intention of producing Chloroethane (CH3CH2Cl), the other product that's formed in this reaction is 1,2-dichloroethane (ClCH2CH2Cl) also called as Ethylene dichloride with molecular weight of 98.954 g/mol. This is a colorless oily flammable substance that weighs heaver when vaporized.</span>
Only one of the listed choices are correct here:

Answer:
- <em><u>Step 2 (the slow step).</u></em>
Explanation:
The rate-determining step is always the slow step of a mechanism.
That is so, because it is the slow step which limits the reaction.
Imaging that for assembling a toy you have process of three steps:
- 1. order ten pieces, which you can do in 1 minute: meaning that you can order order the pieces for 60/1 = 60 toys in 1 hour.
- 2. glue the pieces and hold the toy until the glue hardens, which takes 1 hour: meaning finishingh 1 toy in 1 hour.
- 3. pack the toy, which takes 2 minutes: meaning that you can pack 60/2 = 30 toys in one hour.
The time to glue and hold one toy until the glue hardens determines that you can assemble 1 toy in 1 hour and not 60 toys or 30 toys.
Thus, the step that determines the rate at which the reaction happens is the slowest step: step 2.
Rust does not have the properties to catch onto flames. However, if you light it on fire, then it would probably catch in flames but not instantly and will not continue to burn unless you have soaked it in oil or flammable object or substance. :) Hope this helps!
