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]

For what reasons would modern scientists accept dalton's atomic theory but not the idea of an atom proposed by the greek philoso
soldi70 [24.7K]

Solution:

The idea of an atom proposed by the Greek philosophers because:

According to Greek Philosopher, matter is composed of small and indivisible particles called atoms. He introduced atoms as too small to be seen, unchangeable, completely solid without internal structure. He proposed that atoms are of variety of shapes and sizes which is responsible for different types of matter.

But according to Dalton’s atomic theory, chemical elements have atoms, which are identical in weight. The different elements have different atoms of different weight. Atoms can combine in whole-number ratios to form compounds. These observations are already introduced by Greek philosopher, but the idea of atomic weight is introduced by Dalton. He introduced the list of 21 elements with their atomic weights and, he was the first to propose the element’s symbol.

How many carbon atoms are represented by the model below<br><br> A) 0<br> B) 3<br> C) 2<br> D) 1
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Option (B) 3.

Explanation:

In the model represented above, the two extreme represent carbon atoms since no other group are attached to it. The joint at the middle also represent carbon atom.

Thus, we can write a more simplify illustration for the model above as

C—C—C

From the above illustration, we can see that the model contains 3 carbon atom.

How far apart must two point charges of 75.0 nC (typical of static electricity) be to have a force of 1.00 N between them? (answ
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

7.12 mm

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

F = kqq'/r².................... Equation 1

Where F = force, k = proportionality constant, q and q' = The two point charges, r = distance between the two charges.

Make r the subject of the equation,

r = √(kqq'/F).......................... Equation 2

Given: q = q' = 75.0 nC = 75×10⁻⁹ C, F = 1.00 N

Constant: k = 9.0×10⁹ Nm²/C².

Substitute into equation 2

r = √[ (75×10⁻⁹ )²9.0×10⁹/1]

r = 75×10⁻⁹.√(9.0×10⁹)

r = (75×10⁻⁹)(9.49×10⁴)

r = 711.75×10⁻⁵

r = 7.12×10⁻³ m

r = 7.12 mm

Hence the distance between the point charge = 7.12 mm
