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

A sample of sodium sulfite has a mass of 2.80 g.
Gnom [1K]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The number of sodium ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are 2.65\times 10^{22}

<u>For b:</u> The number of sulfite ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are 1.325\times 10^{22}

<u>For c:</u> The mass of one formula unit of sodium ions is 2.09\times 10^{-22} grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical formula of sodium sulfite is  Na_2SO_3. It is formed by the combination of 2 sodium (Na^+) ions and 1 sulfite (SO_3^{2-}) ions

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of sodium sulfite = 2.80 g

Molar mass of sodium sulfite = 126 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of sodium sulfite}=\frac{2.80g}{126g/mol}=0.022mol

  • <u>For a:</u>

Moles of sodium ions in sodium sulfite = (2 × 0.022) moles

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of particles

So, 0.022 moles of sodium sulfite will contain = (2\times 0.022\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=2.65\times 10^{22} number of sodium ions

Hence, the number of sodium ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are 2.65\times 10^{22}

  • <u>For b:</u>

Moles of sulfite ions in sodium sulfite = (1 × 0.022) moles

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of particles

So, 0.022 moles of sodium sulfite will contain = (1\times 0.022\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=1.325\times 10^{22} number of sulfite ions

Hence, the number of sulfite ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are 1.325\times 10^{22}

  • <u>For c:</u>

Molar mass of sodium sulfite = 126 g/mol

According to mole concept:

6.022\times 10^{23} number of formula units are present in 1 mole of a compound

Or, 6.022\times 10^{23} number of formula units of sodium sulfite have a mass of 126 grams

So, 1 formula unit of sodium sulfite will have a mass of = \frac{126}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 1=2.09\times 10^{-22}g

Hence, the mass of one formula unit of sodium ions is 2.09\times 10^{-22} grams

Which is a problem associated with the use of trees for biomass? I. Potential deforestation II. Burning fossil carbon III. Poten
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Both Option (I) and Option (III)

Explanation:

Biomass is usually defined as those organic molecules that are obtained from plants and animals, in order to produce energy. It is a renewable resource. Some of the examples of biomass include wood, crop, animal fossil fuel.

A large number of trees are being cut down to construct these biomass energies such as woods. This results in the deforestation process where the forested areas are converted into empty dry soils. This results in the increasing rate of erosion because the prevailing wind and flowing water can easily carry away the topsoil and loses the fertility of the soil.

Thus, the correct answers are both options (I) and (III).

snow_lady [41]
The answer is (2) equal to. In redox reactions, you can't just lose electrons somewhere. If an electrons is lost by one, it must be gained by another. Hence, the importance of balancing redox reactions.

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Is the source an authority on the subject?

Explanation:

To figure out which source is accurate, you want to find out the source's authority on the subject. For  example, if you wanted to learn how to play the piano, you wouldn't go to a dance teacher, you would go to someone who knows how to play the piano. The person who knows how to play the piano has more authority to teach the piano than a dance teacher.
