Part C What is a reaction mechanism?

Chemistry
1 answer:
vlabodo [156]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A reaction mechanism is a series of elementary reactions that describe how an overall reaction occurs and explain the experimentally determined rate law.

Explanation:

A reaction machanism is a succession of steps to go from the reactants to the products of a reaction.

Each of this steps is a different elementary reaction and produces an intermediary product. This intermediaries not always can be seen in real life due to the high rate of reaction of following steps.

This intermediary reactions where created to explain the experimental determined rate law of some reactions, that doesn't fit in a one-step reaction.

In conclusion we can say that:<em> A reaction mechanism is a series of elementary reactions that describe how an overall reaction occurs and explain the experimentally determined rate law</em>

• Before the balloon was placed inside the hot water, the pressure was the same inside and outside the balloon. The hot water raised the kinetic energy of the air molecules inside the balloon, expanding the balloon, through thermal expansion.

• (1) the pressure of air inside the balloon increased, (2) the volume of the inside of the balloon increased as well, and (3) the temperature of the balloon increased. Note that pressure and volume are inversely proportional, and pressure and temperature are directly proportional. Therefore as the temperature increases, the pressure inside will increase, causing an increase in the volume. At a certain point though the volume will increase too much as to cause a significant decrease in pressure.

• The air molecules will gain kinetic energy, hence (1) increasing the molecules's speed, and (2) heating the air molecules.

The graph below shows how the temperature and volume of a gas vary when the number of moles and the pressure of the gas are held
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Option C. By increasing the temperature

Explanation:

From the graphical illustration above, we see clearly that the volume and temperature of the gas are directly proportional. This implies that as the temperature increases, the volume will also increase and as the temperature decreases, the volume will also decrease. This can further be explained by using the ideal gas equation as shown below:

PV = nRT

P is the pressure.

V is the volume.

n is the number of mole.

R is the gas constant.

T is the temperature.

PV = nRT

Divide both side by P

V = nRT/P

Since n and P are constant, the equation above becomes:

V & T

V = KT

K is the constant.

The above equation i.e V = KT implies that:

As T increases, V will also increase and as T decreases, V will also decrease.

Considering the question given above,

The volume of the gas can be increased if the temperature is increased.
