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.

attashe74 [19]

Explanation:

Ca3(PO4)2 1 mole has 310.2 g

Ca3(PO4)2 4.3 × 10^-4 moles has 4.3 × 10^-4 × 310.2

= 1,333.86 × 10^-4

= 1.334 × 10^-1

OR 0.1334 g
