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]

Leya [2.2K]

It should be noted that when Brian first sorted out his thoughts, the first thing that he thought would happen next is that he would probably be rescued that day.

It should be noted that in Chapter 5 of Hatchet, Brian wakes up in the forest and then, he realized that he was desperately thirsty.

When Brian first sorted out his thoughts, he figured this was the first day after the crash and that he would probably be rescued that day. He believed that he was going to wither up and die if he doesn't get anything that he'll drink.

How much heat is given off when 8 g of hydrogen reacts in: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O; ΔH = -115.60 kcal
Sedbober [7]
ΔΗ= -115.6 kJ/mol
H2 has a Mr of 2, so as mol=mass/mr we can work out that there are 4 moles of H reacting

Therefore we multiply -115.6 by 4 = -462.4
