Answer:  C. Z is an intermediate.

Explanation:  The given reaction is X_{2} + Y + Z \rightarrow XY + XZ

And the rate equation is rate =  k [X_2][Y]

From this, we can imply that either the concentration of Z is very small in comparison tot he other reactants or the reactant Z is an intermediate which is available only for the given small amount of time.

There can be various steps in the mechanism for the proposed reaction and Z can also react in any of the steps. It is not necessary that it should react in a step other than the rate determining step.

This might be possible that the activation energy for Z to react is very low But since it has made a new kind of product that is XZ, then the former cannot be true.

dolphi86 [110]

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity can be calculated using the following equation: q = mc∆T In the equation q represents the amount of heat energy gained or lost (in joules ), m is the mass of the substance (in grams), c is the specific heat capacity of the substance (in J/g °C), and ∆T is the temperature change of the substance

Assuming it behaves as an ideal gas, calculate the density of sulfur dioxide, so2, at stp.
Arisa [49]
Hello!

At Standard Pressure and Temperature, an ideal gas has a molar density of  0,04464 mol/L.

So, we need to apply a simple conversion factor to calculate the density of Sulfur Dioxide using the molar mass of Sulfur Dioxide.

\frac{0,04464 mol SO_2}{1 L SO_2}* \frac{64,066 g SO_2}{1 mol SO_2}=2,8599 g/L

So, the Density of Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂) at STP is 2,8599 g/L

Have a nice day!
