A multistep reaction can only occur as fast as its slowest step. Therefore, it is the rate law of the slow step that determines

the rate law for the overall reaction. Consider the following multistep reaction: A + B → AB (slow) A + AB → A2B (fast)2A + B→ A2B (overall) Based on this mechanism, determine the rate law for the overall reaction.

Answer : The rate law for the overall reaction is, Rate=k[A][B]

Explanation :

Rate law : It is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

As we are given the mechanism for the reaction :

Step 1 : A+B\rightarrow AB    (slow)

Step 2 : A+AB\rightarrow A_2B     (fast)

Overall reaction : 2A+B\rightarrow A_2B

The rate law expression for overall reaction should be in terms of A and B.

As we know that the slow step is the rate determining step. So,

The slow step reaction is,

A+B\rightarrow AB

The expression of rate law for this reaction will be,

Rate=k[A][B]

Hence, the rate law for the overall reaction is Rate=k[A][B]

An equimolar mixture of acetone and ethanol is fed to an evacuated vessel and allowedto come to equilibrium at 65°C and 1.00 atm
frutty [35]

The question is incomplete, the table of the question is given below

Answer:

I) xA= 0.34, yA= 0.55

ii) 76.2 mole % vapor

iii) Percentage of vapor volume = 98%

Explanation:

i) xA= 0.34, yA= 0.55

 xA= 0.34, yA= 0.55

ii)      0.50 = 0.55 nv + 0.34 nL

     Therefore, nV =    0.762 mol vapor and nL = 0.238 mol liquid

This shows 76.2 mole % vapor

iii)  ρA= 0.791 g/cm3 and,  ρE = 0.789 g/cm3

Therefore, ρ = 0.790 g/cm3

Now, we have:

MA = 58.08 g/mol and ME= 46.07 g/mol

So Ml = (0.34 x 58.08)+[(1 -0.34) x 46.07] = 50.15 g/mol

1 mol liquid = (0.762 mol vapor/0.238 mol liquid) = 3.2 mol vapor

Liquid volume = Vl= [1 mol x (50.15 g/mol)] / (0.790 g/cm3) = 63.48 cm3

Vapour volume = Vv = 3.2 mol x(22400 cm3/mol) x [(65+273)/273] = 88747 cm3

Therefore, percentage of vapour volume = 88747 / (88747+63.48) = 99.9 %

Consider n2 (g) + 3h2 (g) →→ 2nh3 (g). what is the mass of nitrogen gas required to react with 0.129 g h2?
Flura [38]
The given chemical reaction given above is already balanced such that the number of atoms in the left hand side of the equation is equal to that of the right hand side. Using the dimensional analysis, proper conversion factors and the molar masses,

                    mass of nitrogen = (0.129 g H₂)(1 mol H₂/2 g H₂)(1 mol N₂/3 mol H₂)(28 g N₂/1 mol N₂)
                     mass of nitrogen = 0.602 g N₂

Therefore, 0.602 g of nitrogen will be required for he reaction.
