A reaction mechanism is defined as the sequence of reaction steps that define the pathway from reactants to products. Each step

in a mechanism is an elementary reaction, which describes a single molecular event of usually one or two molecules interacting.
The rate law for an overall reaction is the rate law for the slowest step in the mechanism, which is directly related to the stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants.

The exception to this rule occurs when the slowest step contains intermediates. In these cases, the slowest step is usually preceded by an equilibrium step, which can be used to substitute for the intermediates in the overall rate law.

Part A

What is the rate law for the following mechanism in terms of the overall rate constant k?

Step1:Step2:A+BB+C⇌→CD(fast)(slow)
Express your answer in terms of k and the necessary concentrations (e.g., k*[A]^3*[D]).

Part B

Consider the reaction

2X2Y2+Z2⇌2X2Y2Z

which has a rate law of

rate= k[X2Y2][Z2]

Select a possible mechanism for the reaction.

Consider the reaction

Answer: (a) K *[A][B]^2

(b) The answer is B

Explanation:

A)

Step1:A+B<--> C (fast)

Step2: B+C→D(slow)

Rate depends on slowest step.

so,

rate = k' [B][C] ...eqn 1

But C is intermediate.so use step 1

Since 1st step is an equilibrium,

Kc = [C] /[A][B]

so,

[C] = Kc [A][B] ...eqn 2

put eqn 2 in eqn 1

rate = k' *[B] * Kc [A][B]

= k'Kc*[A][B]^2

= K *[A][B]^2 {writing k'Kc = K}

Answer: K *[A][B]^2

B)

Answer is B

Since rate depends on slowest step.

if slowest step is:

X2Y2+Z2→X2Y2Z+Z

then only,

rate= k[X2Y2][Z2]

Answer: B

Calculate the freezing point of the solution containing 0.105 m k2s. calculate the boiling point of the solution above. -g
Licemer1 [7]
Quantity of K2S m = 0.105 m 
Number of ions i = 2(K) + 1(S) = 3
 Freezing point depression constant of water Kf = 1.86 
delta T = i x m x Kf = 3 x 0.105 x 1.86 = 0.586
 Freezing point = 0 - 0.586 = 0.586 C
 Boiling point constant of water Kb = 0.512
 delta T = i x m x Kb = 3 x 0.105 x 0.512 = 0.161
 Boiling point = 100 + 0.161 = 100.161 C

When a pendulum swings, if it is not continuously pushed it will not stop eventually because some of its energy is changed into.
Vladimir79 [104]
Well, there is kinetic energy when the object is in motion. But it will stop eventually because that energy is converted into thermal energy, or heat.

A mixture in which particles are not evenly distributed and particles keep their unique properties.
lina2011 [118]
<h2>Answer : Option D) Heterogeneous mixture</h2><h3>Explanation : </h3>

A mixture in which particles are not evenly distributed and particles keep their unique properties are called as heterogeneous mixture.

Usually, in heterogeneous mixture the substances are not evenly distributed and they can be easily separated through any physical methods.  Also the components retains their original/unique properties in the mixture. It usually contains various particles from different substances that are not uniformly distributed throughout the mixture.
