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.
There are:
19.8g of nuts (90x0.22=19.8)
31.5g of granola (90x0.35=31.5)
16.2g of dried fruit (90x0.18=16.2)
22.5g of chocolate chips (90x0.25=22.5)
The rate constant of the second order reaction is 0.137 M-1s-1.
<h3>What is the rate constant?</h3>
For the second order reaction we can write;
1/[A] = kt + 1/[A]o
[A]o = initial concentration
[A] = final concentration
k = rate constant
t = time
Now;
1/0.319 = 13.5k + 1/ 0.740
1/0.319 - 1/0.740 = 13.5k
3.13 - 1.35 = 13k
k = 3.13 - 1.35/13
k = 0.137 M-1s-1
