If the uncatalyzed reaction occurs in a single elementary step, why is it a slow reaction?

1 answer:

3 0

The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

A)The reaction requires the collision of three particles with the correct energy and orientation.
B) All reactions that occur in one step are slow. 
C)The probability of an effective three-particle collision is low. 
D) The transition state is low in energy.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. If the uncatalyzed reaction occurs in a single elementary step, it is a slow reaction because the probability of an effective three-particle collision is low.

Balance the following redox equation in acidic solution using the smallest integers possible and select the correct coefficient

romanna [79]

Answer:

Coefficient of $H^{+}(aq)$ is more than 4

Explanation:

Oxidation: $Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$

Balance charge: $Sn^{2+}(aq)-2e^{-}\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$ ......(1)

Reduction: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq)$

Balance Cr: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)$
Balance O and H in acidic medium: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$
Balance charge: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)+6e^{-}\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$ .......(2)
