Answer:

The rate of the over all reaction is ;

R=K[A_2]^{1/2}[B]

Explanation:

Step 1 : A_2\rightleftharpoons 2 A fast

Step 2  : A + B\rightarrow AB slow

Equilibrium constant of the reaction in step 1:

K_1=\frac{[A]^2}{[A_2]}....[1]

Overall reaction:

A_2 + 2 B \rightarrow 2 AB

When there is a chemical reaction which taking place in more than 1 step than the rate of the over all reaction is determined by the slowest step occurring during that process;

Here step 2 is slow step, so the rate of the reaction will be;

R=k[A][B]..[2]

Putting value of [A] from [1] in [2]:

R=k\times \sqrt{K_1\times [A_2]}\times [B]

K=k\times (K_1)^{1/2}

K = rate constant of the reaction

The rate of the over all reaction is ;

R=K[A_2]^{1/2}[B]

149.3 g of H2O at 95 ◦C is poured over 412 g Fe at 5 ◦C in an insulated vessel. What is the final temperature? The specific heat
abruzzese [7]
You are correct, but you needn't worry about the signs so much. Just remember that the negative sign is used to denote a loss of energy; since the water is hotter, it will be losing energy (-Q) and the iron will gain energy (Q). Now, we substitute the values:
-149.3 * 4.184 * (T - 95) = 412 * 0.44 * (T - 5)
Solving this equation for T,
T = 74.8 °C

Given that nitrogen forms three bonds with hydrogen to make <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=NH_%7B3%7D" id="TexFormula1" title
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Three hydrogen atoms to form PH₃.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the elements belonging to the nitrogen family (N, P, As, Sb and Bi) show five valence electrons, because there are five electrons at their outer shell, it is clear that if phosphorous bonds with hydrogen, it is going to require the same amount of oxygen atoms (3) because elements having five valence electrons need 3 bonds in order to attain the octet (5+3=8).

Therefore the compound would be:

PH_3

Which is phosphine.

Best regards!

Add electron dots and charges as necessary to show the reaction of calcium and oxygen to form an ionic compound.
xxMikexx [17]
The two atoms shown in the equation are CALCIUM and oxygen. 

<span>You start off with a neutral calcium atom with a shell of two electrons, a shell of 8 around that, a shell of 8 around that, and a shell containing 2...with no charge. </span>
<span>20 protons + 20 electrons. </span>

<span>You also have an oxygen atom with a shell of 2, and a shell of 6...with no charge. </span>
<span>8 protons + 8 electrons. </span>

<span>Each ionizes to form a calcium ion with 2 electrons removed (from the outer shell), leaving a +2 charge (20 protons, 18 electrons)... </span>
<span>and an oxygen ion with 2 electrons added (to the outer shell), leaving a -2 charge (8 protons, 10 electrons). </span>

<span>Their electrostatic attraction causes them to come together to form an ionic compound of CaO in a crystal lattice.</span>
