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

The isomerization of methylisonitrile to acetonitrile is first order in CH3NC. CH3NC(g) → CH3CN(g) The half life of the reaction
sasho [114]

<u>Answer:</u> The rate constant for the given reaction is 4.33\times 10^{-6}s^{-1}

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical equation:

CH_3NC(g)\rightarrow CH_3CN(g)

We are given that the above equation is undergoing first order kinetics.

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

The rate constant is independent of  the initial concentration for first order kinetics.

We are given:

t_{1/2} = half life of the reaction = 1.60\times 10^5s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{0.693}{1.60\times 10^5s}=4.33\times 10^{-6}s^{-1}

Hence, the rate constant for the given reaction is 4.33\times 10^{-6}s^{-1}

When stress, toxins or lack of essential nutrients weaken digestion, harder to digest foods like grains and cow dairy, meat and processed foods contribute to maldigestion, dysbiosis and impaired digestive competence.

A solution is created by dissolving 11.5 grams of ammonium chloride in enough water to make 255 mL of solution. How many moles o
Nata [24]

Answer:

<h2>The no. of moles present in one liter solution is 0.843</h2>

Explanation:

Mass of ammonium chloride  = 11.5 gm

Molar mass  of ammonium chloride  = 53.491 gm

No. of moles

N = \frac{mass}{molar \ mass}

N = \frac{11.5}{53.491}

N = 0.215 moles

Molarity=  \frac{N}{volume}

molarity = \frac{0.215}{0.255}

M = 0.843 M

Thus the no. of moles present in one liter solution is 0.843

1/2 * m * v ^ 2 = mgh
viktelen [127]

C. the square root of 2gh

Explanation:

The square root of 2gh is equivalent to Torricelli's law in the equation.

  given expression:

         \frac{1}{2} m v² = mgh

 to find v, we make it the subject of the expression:

    *multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

             

                     2 x( \frac{1}{2} m v² )= 2 (mgh)

                                      mv²  = 2mgh

    *cancel the mass, m appearing on both sides:

                                    v²  = 2gh

  * find the square root of both side

                                     v = √2gh
