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.

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

If 2 different gases have the same volumes but different masses, how will their densities compare?
olga_2 [115]

can i have brainiest

The two samples will have the same density because they are the same substance. The volume will have increased just enough to balance the greater mass. Key Concept- When substances have the same volumes but different masses, the substance having the greatest mass will be the most dense.

What is the mass in grams of 2.6 moles of angelic acid?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

260.34g

Explanation:

First, you need to know what angelic acid is comprised of. It is written as C₅H₈O₂.

In order to solve for the mass of 2.6 moles of angelic acid, you need the mass of 1 mole of angelic acid. This can be found by adding the masses from the periodic table, like shown below:

5 carbon atoms = (5)(12.01g) = 60.05g

8 hydrogen atoms = (8)(1.01) = 8.08g

2 oxygen atoms = (2)(16) = 32g

angelic acid = 60.05 + 8.08 + 32 = 100.13g

Then, set up a basic stoichiometric equation and solve. The units should cancel out.

(\frac{2.6mol}{1} )(\frac{100.13g}{1mol} )=260.34g

Design an experiment to collect data that supports the claim that a 1.0M NaCl solution is a homogenous mixture.
Alika [10]
The claim is that NaCl mixture is a homogeneous mixture.
Homogeneous mixture means that the components of the mixtures cannot be determined or separated by the naked eye. However, these components can be separated using physical means, such as boiling, evaporation and condensation which will be used in this experiment.

First, we need to prepare one molar solution of NaCl. To do so, we will dilute a mass of 58.44 grams (molar mass of NaCl) in 1 liter of water.
By this, we will have NaCl solution.

We can notice that once the NaCl is diluted in water, all what you can see is a clear solution. You cannot see the separate particles of NaCl in water.
..............> observation I

Now, we will heat this solution until it boils and water starts evaporating. We will place a cold surface above the steam coming out from the boiling solution.

What we will observe is that when all the water evaporates, we can see white precipitate of NaCl in the bottom of the container. Examining the cold surface placed above the steam, we can see that the water has condensed on this surface.
.........>observation II

Based on this, we managed to use boiling, evaporation and condensation (physical methods) to restore the components of the solution separately.
.............>conclusion

Based on observation I, observation II and the conclusion. we were able to prove that NaCl solution is a homogeneous mixture.
