Answer:

Step 2 (the slow step).

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.

BaLLatris [955]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Calculate the solubility of each of the following compounds in moles per liter. Ignore any acid-base properties.

CaCO₃, Ksp = 8.7 × 10⁻⁹

Answer : The solubility of CaCO₃ is, $9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

Explanation :

As we know that CaCO₃ dissociates to give $Ca^{2+}$ ion and $CO_3^{2-}$ ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

$CaCO_3\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+CO_3^{2-}$

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

$K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}]$

Let solubility of CaCO₃ be, 's'

$K_{sp}=(s)\times (s)$

$K_{sp}=s^2$

$8.7\times 10^{-9}=s^2$

$s=9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

Therefore, the solubility of CaCO₃ is, $9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

Benzene would react_____________.

Vlada [557]

Answer: Benzene is less reactive than methylbenzoate and more reactive than Nitrobenzene

Explanation:

This is because the methyl group on the benzene ring is an electron donating group leading to the activation of the ring and subsequently leading to more canonical resonance structure at the intermediate stage of the reaction enhancing the faster reactivity

However for the Nitrobenzene the nitro group is an electron withdrawing group leading to a slower activation and less resonance canonical structure at the reaction intermediate leading to a slower reaction than the reaction of benzene without the nitro group
