Explain how the structural difference between isomers is related to the difference in their properties

1 answer:

8 0

An isomer is a molecule with the same molecular formula as another molecule but with a different structure, isomers contain the same number of atoms of each element but have different arrangements of their atoms.

Hope this helps!

Consider the mechanism. Step 1: A+B↽−−⇀CA+B↽−−⇀C equilibrium Step 2: C+A⟶DC+A⟶D slow Overall: 2A+B⟶D2A+B⟶D Determine the rate la

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

rate = k[A][B] where k = k₂K

Explanation:

Your mechanism is a slow step with a prior equilibrium:

$\begin{array}{rrcl}\text{Step 1}:& \text{A + B} & \xrightarrow [k_{-1}]{k_{1}} & \text{C}\\\text{Step 2}: & \text{C + A} & \xrightarrow [ ]{k_{2}} & \text{D}\\\text{Overall}: & \text{2A + B} & \longrightarrow \, & \text{D}\\\end{array}$

(The arrow in Step 1 should be equilibrium arrows).

1. Write the rate equations:

$-\dfrac{\text{d[A]}}{\text{d}t} = -\dfrac{\text{d[B]}}{\text{d}t} = -k_{1}[\text{A}][\text{B}] + k_{1}[\text{C}]\\\\\dfrac{\text{d[C]}}{\text{d}t} = k_{1}[\text{A}][\text{B}] - k_{2}[\text{C}]\\\\\dfrac{\text{d[D]}}{\text{d}t} = k_{2}[\text{C}]$

2. Derive the rate law

Assume k₋₁ ≫ k₂.

Then, in effect, we have an equilibrium that is only slightly disturbed by C slowly reacting to form D.

In an equilibrium, the forward and reverse rates are equal:

k₁[A][B] = k₋₁[C]

[C] = (k₁/k₋₁)[A][B] = K[A][B] (K is the equilibrium constant)

rate = d[D]/dt = k₂[C] = k₂K[A][B] = k[A][B]

The rate law is

rate = k[A][B] where k = k₂K

Compare the distance between the molecules of a gas in a very small container with the distance between the molecules of the sam

kvv77 [185]

Gases take the shape of their container. When you have a large container, the spaces between molecules (particles) can be further apart than if they were close together. In small containers, the particles are forced to be closer together, or compressed.

Think of it like a pep rally in a gym v.s. a classroom. In the gym, everyone has a bit of wiggle room. With the same number of people in a classroom, everyone would need to be packed in there. This can also explain why a smaller pot over boils from steam before a larger one does, even if the amount of water is the same.

Then as the electrons in the atoms fall back down, they emit electromagnetic radiation (light). The amount of light emitted at different wavelengths, called the emission spectrum, is shown for a discharge tube filled with hydrogen gas in Figure 12.6 below.
