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.

If a body with a mass of 4 kg is moved by a force of 20 N, what’s is the rate of acceleration ?

kaheart [24]

Answer:

The rate of acceleration is 5.

Explanation:

In order to calculate acceleration we need to divide the force by the mass.

Acceleration = net force/mass

In this case, it would be 20/4. Simplify that and we get 5.

Determine the boiling point of a 3.70 m solution of phenol in benzene. Benzene has a boiling point of 80.1°C and a boiling point

xeze [42]

Answer: The boiling point of a 3.70 m solution of phenol in benzene is $89.5^0C$

Explanation:

Elevation in boiling point:

$\Delta T_b=i\times k_b\times m$

where,

$\Delta T_b$ = change in boiling point

i= vant hoff factor = 1 (for benzene which is a non electrolyte )

$k_b$ = boiling point constant = $2.53^0C/kgmol$

m = molality = 3.70

$T_{solution}-T_{solvent}=i\times k_b\times m$

$T_{solution}-80.1^0C=1\times 2.53\times 3.70$

$T_{solution}=89.5^0C$

Thus the boiling point of a 3.70 m solution of phenol in benzene is $89.5^0C$
