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]

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

Which beakers in the model contain solid insoluble substances?

ladessa [460]

Although the models are not provided, I was able to find them and the beakers with solid present in them are:
1C
2A
2C
3A
3C

This is determined by the fact that the beakers all have a piece of closely packed substance laying at the bottom. This closely packed lattice is characteristic of solid substances, and the fact that they exist in the solution in the solid states indicates that they are insoluble.

Select all that apply. Catalysts can save money by essentially lowering the:

k0ka [10]

Answer: Options (a) and (d) are the correct answer.

Explanation:

A catalyst is the substance which helps in increasing the rate of reaction.

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by reactants to start the reaction. On addition of catalyst, the path of reaction changes because the energy barrier gap reduces and hence, the activation energy also decreases.

In the absence of catalyst, we need to increase the temperature so that reaction can occur quickly.

Whereas on addition of catalyst, there is no need to increase the temperature as the catalyst itself is sufficient to increase the rate of reaction. As a result, temperature should be lowered when there is addition of catalyst in the reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that catalysts can save money by essentially lowering the activation energy and temperature required.
