Answer:
a. There are only 5 electrons in 2p. 2p should be filled with 6 electrons prior to 3s and 3p
b. There are 8 electrons in 2p. 2p should be filled only with 6 electrons (not 8)
Explanation:
The typical electron configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
a. There are only 5 electrons in 2p
=> should be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2
b. There are 8 electrons in 2p
=> should be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1
<u>Answer:</u> Step 2 in the given mechanism is the rate determining step
<u>Explanation:</u>
In a mechanism of the reaction, the slow step in the mechanism determines the rate of the reaction.
The intermediate reaction of the mechanism follows:
<u>Step 1:</u> 
<u>Step 2:</u> 
As, step 2 is the slow step. It is the rate determining step
Rate law for the reaction follows:
![\text{Rate}=k[O_3][O]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BRate%7D%3Dk%5BO_3%5D%5BO%5D)
Hence, step 2 in the given mechanism is the rate determining step
Answer:
B.) No, because the coefficients could be reduced to 2,1, and 3.
Explanation:
The equation is not in its lowest molar ratio form. In this case, all of the coefficients can be divided by 2 and still result in whole numbers.
As such, the correct balanced equation is:
2 NH₃ ----> N₂ + 3 H₂
