Many double-displacement reactions are enzyme-catalyzed via the "ping pong" mechanism, so called because the reactants appear to

zhenek [66]

Answer:

D. It will decrease by a factor of 4

Explanation:

According to the question , the equation follows :

$A+B\rightarrow C+D$

Rate law : This states the rate of reaction is directly proportional to concentration of reactants with each reactant raised to some power which may or may not be equal to the stoichiometeric coefficient.

$Rate\ \alpha [A]^{a}[B]^{b}$

$r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}$ .................(1)

STEP": First, find out the power "a" and "b"

a+b = 3 (because it is given that the reaction follow 3rd order-kinetics)

According to question, doubling the concentration of the first reactant causes the rate to increase by a factor of 2 means,

r' = 2r if [A'] = 2[A]

Here [B] is uneffected means [B']=[B]

hence new rate =

$r'=[A']^{a}[B']^{b}$

Put the value of [A'] , [B'] and r' in the above equation:

$2r=[2A]^{a}[B]^{b}$ ...........(2)

Divide equation (1) by (2) we , get

$\frac{2r}{r}=\frac{[2A]^{2}[B]^{b}}{[A]^{a}[B]^{b}}$

$2= 2(\frac{A}{A})^{a}\times (\frac{B}{B})^{b}$

Here A and A cancel each other

B and B cancel each other

We get,

$2= 2^{a}\times 1^{b}$

1^b = 1 ( power of 1 = 1)

$2= 2^{a}$

This is possible only when a = 1

We know that : a + b = 3

1 + b = 3

b =3 -1 = 2

b = 2

Hence the rate law becomes :

$r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}$

$r=[A]^{1}[B]^{2}$ .............(3)

Look in the question now, it is asked to calculate the concentration of [B],if cut in half

Hence

[B']=1/2[B]

Insert the value of [B'] in equation (3)

$r'=[A]^{1}[B']^{2}$

$r'=[A]^{1}(\frac{1}{2}[B])^{2}$

$r'=\frac{1}{4}[A]^{1}[B]^{2}$ ............(a)

But

$r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}$ ..............(b)

Compare equation (a) and (b) , we get

new rate r' =

r' = 1/4 r

Be sure to answer all parts. Consider both 5-methyl-1,3-cyclopentadiene (A) and 7-methyl-1,3,5-cycloheptatriene (B). Which label

LuckyWell [14K]

I don’t have a picture but I can describe it to you.

The hydrogen that is attached at the tertiary position on the heptatriene (at the 7-methyl) would be very acidic, as removal would leave a positive charge that could be moved throughout the ring through resonance. This would mean that the three double bonds would be participating in resonance, and the deprotonated structure would be aromatic, thus making this favorable.

The hydrogen that is attached at the tertiary position on the pentadiene (5-methyl) would NOT be acidic, as removal would cause an antiaromatic structure.

Any other hydrogens would NOT be acidic. Those vinylic to their respective double bonds would seriously destabilize the double bond if removed, and hydrogens attached to the methyl group jutting off the ring have no incentive to leave the carbon.

Hope this helps!
