Answer:

  • <em><u>Step 2 (the slow step).</u></em>

Explanation:

The rate-determining step is always the slow step of a mechanism.

That is so, because it is the slow step which limits the reaction.

Imaging that for assembling a toy you have process of three steps:

  • 1. order ten pieces, which you can do in 1 minute: meaning that you can order order the pieces for 60/1 = 60 toys in 1 hour.

  • 2. glue the pieces and hold the toy until the glue hardens, which takes 1 hour: meaning finishingh 1 toy in 1 hour.

  • 3. pack the toy, which takes 2 minutes: meaning that you can pack 60/2 = 30 toys in one hour.

The time to glue and hold one toy until the glue hardens determines that you can assemble 1 toy in 1 hour and not 60 toys or 30 toys.

Thus, the step that determines the rate at which the reaction happens is the slowest step: step 2.

Complete the following table. Tell if the molecule is polar or nonpolar, draw the Lewis dot structure for the molecule, tell wha
andrew11 [14]

The complete table is shown in figure

a) NH3 is polar as the bonds between N and H are polar. Due to asymmetry in   the molecule the molecule is polar

The shape of molecule is trigonal pyramidal while its electronic geometry is tetrahedral.

b) CO2: it is a non polar molecule with polar bonds. The molecule becomes non polar as the dipole moment cancel each other. [Dipole moment is a vector quantity]

The shape is linear.

A 1.25 × 10-4 m solution of the anti-inflammatory drug naproxen has a ph = 4.2. the ka and pka of naproxen are ________ and ____
Mandarinka [93]

Naproxen is known to be a weak acid. In order to calculate its ka and pka, use the equation of getting the ph of weak acid which is ph= -1/2 log [(Ka)(Mwa)]. The Ka value is 3.18x10^-5. The pKa can be obtained through pKa = - log Ka. The pKa is 4.5.

What kind of orbital is occupied by the lone pair electrons in caffeine molecule?
Nataly [62]
The middle nitrogen has two sigma bonds and one pi bond. You know that one p orbital is used in the double bond and two sp2 orbitals are involved in the sigma bond. This leaves one sp2 orbital for the lone pair to occupy.

PLEASE HELP!!! CHEMISTRY
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Hydrogen bonds are typically stronger than Van der Waals forces bc they are based on permanent dipoles, that form when hydrogen comes in vicinity of a highly electronegative atom (like F, N, or O). These bonds are long-lasting and pretty strong.
