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.

For the given chemical equation:

$CHCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow CCl_2(g)+HCl(g)$

Rate law expression for the reaction:

$\text{Rate}=k[CHCl_3]^a[Cl_2]^b$

where,

a = order with respect to $CHCl_3$

b = order with respect to $Cl_2$

Expression for rate law for first observation:

$0.0035=k(0.010)^a(0.010)^b$ ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

$0.0069=k(0.020)^a(0.010)^b$ ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

$0.0098=k(0.020)^a(0.020)^b$ ....(3)

Expression for rate law for fourth observation:

$0.027=k(0.040)^a(0.040)^b$ ....(4)

Dividing 1 from 2, we get:

$\frac{0.0069}{0.0035}=\frac{k(0.020)^a(0.010)^b}{k(0.010)^a(0.010)^b}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1$

Dividing 2 from 3, we get:

$\frac{0.0098}{0.0069}=\frac{k(0.020)^a(0.020)^b}{k(0.020)^a(0.010)^b}\\\\1.42=2^b\\b=\frac{1}{2}$

Calculation used :

$1.42=2^b\\\log (1.42)=b\log 2\\\log (\frac{1.42}{2})=b\\b=0.5=\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, the rate law becomes:

$\text{Rate}=k[CHCl_3]^1[Cl_2]^{1/2}$

Explain how deforestation can cause a disruption to the carbon cycle

TEA [102]

Trees and forest play an important role in balancing the amount of Carbon in the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis where plants make their own food with carbon dioxide, using energy from the sunlight. Therefore, deforestation (cutting down of trees) has an effect on the carbon cycle also the greenhouse gas effect and global warming. Deforestation reduces the removal component of this cycle, thus, increasing the carbon dioxide in the air.
