<u>Answer:</u> The rate law for the reaction is \text{Rate}=k'[H+][H_2O_2][Br^-]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law is the expression which is used to express the rate of the reaction in terms of the molar concentration of reactants where each term is raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient respectively from a balanced chemical equation.

In a mechanism of the reaction, the slow step in the mechanism determines the rate of the reaction.

The chemical equation for the oxidation of bromide ions by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous acid solution follows:

2H^++2Br^-+H_2O_2\rightarrow Br_2+2H_2O

The intermediate reaction of the mechanism follows:

<u>Step 1:</u>  H^++H_2O_2\rightleftharpoons H_3O_2^+;\text{ (fast)}

<u>Step 2:</u>  H_3O_2^++Br^-\rightarrow HOBr+H_2O;\text{(slow)}

<u>Step 3:</u>  HOBr+H^++Br^-\rightarrow Br_2+H_2O;\text{(fast)}

As, step 2 is the slow step. It is the rate determining step

Rate law for the reaction follows:

\text{Rate}=k[H_3O_2^+][Br^-]          ......(1)

As, [H_3O_2^+] is not appearing as a reactant in the overall reaction. So, we apply steady state approximation in it.

Applying steady state approximation for [H_3O_2^+] from step 1, we get:

K=\frac{[H_3O_2^+]}{[H^+][H_2O_2]}  

[H_3O_2^+]=K[H^+][H_2O_2]

Putting the value of [H_3O_2^+] in equation 1, we get:

\text{Rate}=k.K[H^+][H_2O_2][Br^-]\\\\\text{Rate}=k'[H+][H_2O_2][Br^-]

Hence, the rate law for the reaction is \text{Rate}=k'[H+][H_2O_2][Br^-]

Which is a polar molecule?
Sloan [31]
A polar molecule is when the arrangement of the atoms in molecules are unequal where one end of the molecule has a positive charge while the other end has a negative charge. Examples of a polar molecule are water, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide. The opposite is called a nonpolar molecule.

9. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does 35C1l- have?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
It’s the third one because Cl has 17 protons bc of the numeric number and 18 electrons bc it’s always the opposite and 18 neutrons because you subtract 35-17=18

THE QUESTION:which letter in the diagram above represents a mountain range in the ocean floor  

A.Letter B  

B.letter D  

C.letter E  

D.letter F

THE ANSWER: Based on my research, none of these are truly correct, as A is actually correct. However, I would highly suggests going with B, as it resembles mountains in shape.
