The following mechanism has been proposed for the gas-phase reaction of chloroform (CHCl3) and chlorine:

Chemistry
1 answer:
shusha [124]3 years ago
3 0

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.

As you move upward, from level, in an energy pyramid, available energy ____.
svetlana [45]

The available energy decreases as one moves upward in an energy pyramid.

<h3>Energy pyramid</h3>

The energy pyramid represents a model of how energy is transferred from one trophic level to another in ecosystems.

Energy is transferred from producers to primary consumers, from primary to secondary consumers, from secondary to tertiary consumers, and so on.

Only about 10% of the available energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next with the remaining 90% being lost as heat to the environment.

Thus, as one moves up the energy pyramid, the available energy decreases. This is why organisms at the higher end of the energy pyramid have to devise an efficient way of extracting energy from their foods.

Why is an atom regarded as electrically unstable​
meriva

Answer: An atom can be considered unstable in one of two ways. If it picks up or loses an electron, it becomes electrically charged and highly reactive. Such electrically charged atoms are known as ions. Instability can also occur in the nucleus when the number of protons and neutrons is unbalanced.

Which of the following reactions does the coenzyme biotin catalyze?
Papessa [141]

Answer:

c. decarboxylation of an a-keto acid.

Explanation:

Decarboxylation refers to the removal of the carboxyl group from a carboxylic acid and thus releasing carbon dioxide. Decarboxylases are enzymes that speed up the removal of the carboxyl group from acids. These reactants could be amino acids, alpha-keto acids, and beta-keto acids. Biotin is known to catalyze the decarboxylation of malonyl CoA to acetyl CoA during fatty acid synthesis.

Malonyl CoA is converted to acetyl CoA after decarboxylation assisted by biotin also known as Vitamin H. Alpha keto acids are involved in fatty acids synthesis and Malonyl CoA is an alpha-keto acid because the keto group is located in the first carbon near the carboxylic acid group. Keto acids have both a carboxyl group and a ketone group.

Buffer consists of undissociated acid (ha) and the ion made by dissociating the acid (a-). How does this system buffer a solutio
docker41 [41]

In buffer solution there is an equilibrium between the acid  HA and its conjugate base A⁻: HA(aq) ⇌ H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).

When acid (H⁺ ions) is added to the buffer solution, the equilibrium is shifted to the left, because conjugate base (A⁻) reacts with hydrogen cations from added acid, according to Le Chatelier's principle: H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq) ⇄ HA(aq). So, the conjugate base (A⁻) consumes some hydrogen cations and pH is not decreasing (less H⁺ ions, higher pH of solution).

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable

Barium-131 is used in the detection of bone tumors. The half-life of barium-131 is approximately 12 days. How long will it take
Evgesh-ka [11]

Barium-131's radiation level won't reach 1/4 of its initial level for 24 hours.

ln[A] t = -kt + ln[A] 0 is the integrated rate rule for the first-order reaction A's products.

A straight line is produced when the natural log of [A] is plotted as a function of time since this equation has the form y = mx + b.

How is the length of a half-life determined?

The amount of time needed for the reactant concentration to drop to half its initial value is known as the half-life of a reaction. A first-order reaction's half-life is a constant that is correlated with its rate constant:

t 1/2 = 0.693/k.
