How to set up the rate expressions for the following mechanism?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

A → B k₁

B → A k₂

B + C → D k₃

The rate law = \dfrac{d[D]}{dt}=k_3[B][C] --- (1)

\dfrac{d[B]}{dt}=k[A] -k_2[B] -k_3[B][C]

Using steady-state approximation;

\dfrac{d[B]}{dt}=0

k_1[A]-k_2[B]-k_3[B][C] = 0

[B] = \dfrac{k_1[A]}{k_2+k_3[C]}

From equation (1), we have:

\mathbf{\dfrac{d[D]}{dt}= \dfrac{k_3k_1[A][C]}{k_2+k_3[C]}}

when the pressure is high;

k₂ << k₃[C]

\dfrac{d[D]}{dt} = \dfrac{k_3k_1[A][C]}{k_3[C]}= k_1A \ \  \text{first order}

k₂ >> k₃[C]

\dfrac{d[D]}{dt} = \dfrac{k_3k_1[A][C]}{k_2}= \dfrac{k_1k_3}{k_2}[A][C] \ \  \text{second order}

What were the constraints on Nils Bohlin’s solution to safer seatbelts?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

He realized he needs to have the upper body and lower body held in place and needed the buckle as far down beside the person's hip so it could hold the body properly

Explanation: ''I realized both the upper and lower body must be held securely in place with one strap across the chest and one across the hips,'' Mr. Bohlin once said. ''The belt also needed an immovable anchorage point for the buckle as far down beside the occupant's hip, so it could hold the body properly during a collision.
