Answer:
K = [ HOCl ] . [HgO. HgCl2] / [Cl2]^2 [H2O] [HgO]^2
Explanation:
The law of Mass Action states that, at constant temperature, the rate of reaction is proportional to the active masses of each of the reactants.
The reaction above is a reversible reaction and the law of mass action also applies to it.
The rate of reaction from left-to-right reaction = r1 = k. [Cl2]^2 [H2O] [HgO]^2
Rate of reaction from right - to - left r2 = k. [hocl]^2 [HgO . hgcl2]
Then at equilibrium,
r1 = r2
k1/k2 = [HOCl ]^2 [HgO. HgCl2] / [Cl2]^2 [H2O] [HgO]^2 = K
where K is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.
Answer:
- <em><u>Step 2 (the slow step).</u></em>
Explanation:
The rate-determining step is always the slow step of a mechanism.
That is so, because it is the slow step which limits the reaction.
Imaging that for assembling a toy you have process of three steps:
- 1. order ten pieces, which you can do in 1 minute: meaning that you can order order the pieces for 60/1 = 60 toys in 1 hour.
- 2. glue the pieces and hold the toy until the glue hardens, which takes 1 hour: meaning finishingh 1 toy in 1 hour.
- 3. pack the toy, which takes 2 minutes: meaning that you can pack 60/2 = 30 toys in one hour.
The time to glue and hold one toy until the glue hardens determines that you can assemble 1 toy in 1 hour and not 60 toys or 30 toys.
Thus, the step that determines the rate at which the reaction happens is the slowest step: step 2.
Answer:
a reference book about weather
Explanation:
It a because the moons gravity pulls the water and the earths rotation moves the bump/wave
When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases.
