Answer:

Overall reaction equation is:

Cl2(g) + CHCl3(g) --> HCl(g) + CCl4(g)

The intermediates are Cl(g), CCl3(g).

Rate law= ka^1/2 c

Explanation:

This reaction is a non elementary reaction. A non elementary reaction is one that does not take place in a single reactive encounter. In other words, the reaction is comprised of many steps.

The overall reaction equation is the sum of all the reaction steps after all intermediates have been cancelled out. The rate law is obtained from the slowest step in the reaction sequence.

90 POINTSSSS!!!

Katarina [22]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{-2043.96 kJ/mol}}$

Explanation:

Assume the reaction is the combustion of propane.

Word equation: propane plus oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water

Chemical eqn: C₃H₈(g) + O₂(g) ⟶ CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Balanced eqn: C₃H₈(g) + 5O₂(g) ⟶ 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g)

(a) Table of enthalpies of formation of reactants and products

$\begin{array}{cc}\textbf{Substance} & \textbf{$\Delta_{\text{f}}$H/(kJ/mol}) \\\text{C$_{3}$H$_{8}$(g)} & -103.85 \\\text{O}_{2}\text{(g)} & 0 \\\text{CO}_{2}\text{(g)} & -393.51 \\\text{H$_{2}$O(g)} & -241.82\\\end{array}$

(b)Total enthalpies of reactants and products

$\Delta_{\text{rxn}}H^{\circ} = \sum \left( \Delta_{\text{f}} H^{\circ} \text{products}\right) - \sum \left (\Delta_{\text{f}}H^{\circ} \text{reactants} \right)\\= \text{-2147.81 kJ/mol - (-103.85 kJ/mol)}\\= \text{-2147.81 kJ/mol + 103.85 kJ/mol}\\= \textbf{-2043.96 kJ/mol}\\\text{The enthalpy change is $\large \boxed{\textbf{-2043.96 kJ/mol}}$}$

ΔᵣH° is negative, so the reaction is exothermic.

Based on the scientific sources you found, did you think one person’s points were more scientifically valid than the other’s

DanielleElmas [232]

What is research? Depending on who you ask, you will likely get very different answers to this seemingly innocuous question. Some people will say that they routinely research different online websites to find the best place to buy goods or services they want. Television news channels supposedly conduct research in the form of viewer polls on topics of public interest such as forthcoming elections or government-funded projects. Undergraduate students research the Internet to find the information they need to complete assigned projects or term papers. Graduate students working on research projects for a professor may see research as collecting or analyzing data related to their project. Businesses and consultants research different potential solutions to remedy organizational problems such as a supply chain bottleneck or to identify customer purchase patterns. However, none of the above can be considered “scientific research” unless: (1) it contributes to a body of science, and (2) it follows the scientific method. This chapter will examine what these terms mean
