The reaction described by H2(g)+I2(g)⟶2HI(g) has an experimentally determined rate law of rate=k[H2][I2] Some proposed mechanism

s for this reaction are: Mechanism A (1) H2(g)+I2(g)−→k12HI(g) (one-step reaction) Mechanism B (1) I2(g)⥫⥬=k−1k12I(g) (fast, equilibrium) (2) H2(g)+2I(g)−→k22HI(g) (slow) Mechanism C (1) I2(g)⥫⥬=k−1k12I(g) (fast, equilibrium) (2) I(g)+H2(g)−→k2HI(g)+H(g) (slow) (3) H(g)+I(g)−→k3HI(g) (fast) Which of these mechanisms are consistent with the observed rate law? mechanism C mechanism B mechanism A In 1967, J. H. Sullivan showed that this reaction was dramatically catalyzed by light when the energy of the light was sufficient to break the I−I bond in an I2 molecule. Which mechanism or mechanisms are consistent with both the rate law and this additional observation? mechanism A mechanism B mechanism C

Answer:

The only mechanism consistent with observed rate law is mechanism A.

Mechanism A<em> </em>is the only consistent with the observation of J. H. Sullivan

Explanation:

In a reaction, rate law is determined by slow step of the reaction.

In mechanism A, rate law is:

rate = k₁ [H₂][I₂]

In mechanism B, rate law is:

rate = k₂ [H₂][I]²

In mechanism C, rate law is:

rate = k₂ [H₂][I]

Thus, the only mechanism consistent with observed rate law is <em>mechanism A</em>

<em></em>

Now, catalyst works in the slow-step of reaction, is the reaction is catalyzed when The I-I bond breaks, the mechanism consistent with the observation is the mechanism where the slow-step of reaction involves this bond break, again, <em>mechanism A </em>is the only consistent with the observation of J. H. Sullivan.

Which is a substance that could be found in air, water, or soil that is harmful to humans or animals? carbon dioxide fossil fuel
quester [9]
Hi!

The substance that could be found in air, water or soil that is harmful to humans or animals is called pollutant.

Pollutants are the only harmful substances that can be found in these three places. Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is commonly found in the air, fossil fuels are found in soil and water and smog is found in the air. Only pollutant can be found in these three places as there are varied in its chemical structure. Common pollutants include Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂) which can be found in the air, and Lead, which can be found in water or soil.

The element in Group 14 Period 4 has how many neutrons and is it a metal, nonmetal, metalloid or noble gas.
monitta

Number of neutrons=41, and it is metalloid

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Group 14⇒valence electron = 4(ns²np²)

Period 4⇒n=4

So electron configuration of the element :

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p² = 32 electron=atomic number

The element with atomic number 32, which is in period 4 and group 14 is Ge-Germanium

There are seven elements that can be classified as metalloids, namely boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te), and polonium (Po).

While the mass number: 73

So the number of neutrons = mass number-atomic number

\tt 73-32=41
