Answer:-

Option 2

Explanation:-

In a multi step reaction, the overall reaction is as fast as the slowest step only.

So the rate of a multistep reaction is the same as the rate of its slowest step.

The gas phase reaction was found to be second order wrt NO2.

So the slowest step must have 2 NO2 since the dependence is second order on NO2.

It was also found to be zero order wrt CO.

So the slowest step must not contain any CO since it’s presence has no effect on the reaction (zero order).

Among all options, only number 2 meets the two criterion

Thus the steps are

NO2 + NO2 – NO3 + NO (Slow)

NO3 + CO – NO2 + CO2 (Fast)

Determine whether each molecule given below is polar or nonpolar. of2
sergejj [24]

Answer : The molecule OF_2 is a polar molecule.

Explanation :

Polar molecule : When the arrangement of the molecule is asymmetrical then the molecule is polar.

Non-polar molecule : When the arrangement of the molecule is symmetrical then the molecule is non-polar.

The given molecule is, OF_2

The electronegativities of oxygen and fluorine are different. The molecular geometry of OF_2 is bent. As, Fluorine is more elctronegative than the oxygen. So, the arrows putting towards the more electronegative element i.e, fluorine. These arrows do not balance each other. Due to this, the asymmetrical arrangement of these bonds makes the molecule polar.

Hence, the given molecule OF_2 is polar.

A student shines a flashlight on the lens. Which best describes what happens when light rays exit the lens?
zhannawk [14.2K]
The flashlight's beam will all be refracted towards a central axis. But, this is still dependent on the type of lens that is used for the said activity. The speed of light will vary depending whether the lens is a concave or a convex lens. The exit point of the light will always head towards the central axis.
