Answer:

The electrons in the outermost shell are used to determine the dot structure.

Explanation:

According to Lewis, the structure of a molecule could be determined by accurately determining the number of electrons on the outermost shell of the Central atom. Silicon has four valence electrons on its outermost shell and it is the central atom in silicon dioxide. Silicon dioxide is a linear molecule as it forms two double bonds with oxygen.

Complete Question : .Sulfonation of benzene has the following mechanism:

(1) 2 H2SO4 ⇌ H3O+ + HSO4− + SO3

[fast]

(2) SO3 + C6H6 → H(C6H5+)SO3−

[slow]

(3) H(C6H5+)SO3− + HSO4− → C6H5SO3− + H2SO4

[fast]

(4) C6H5SO3− + H3O+ → C6H5SO3H + H2O

write the overall rate law for the initial rate of the reaction as a fraction.

Rate=k(________/_________)

Answer:

The overall rate law for the initial reaction is = k_{overall} [H_{2}SO_{4}]^{2} [C_{6}H_{6}]

Explanation :

Frist of all, all the common terms are cancelled out and written the overall reaction.

As we know that the rate depednant step is the slowest step of the reaction, rate law is :

                        rate = k_{2} [SO_{3}][C_{6}H_{6}]

But the problem is that SO3 cannot be written in the overall rate law because it is an intermediate.

Rate law for synthesis of S03 is as follows :

                       rate = k_{1}[H_{2}SO_{4}]^{2}

Hence when we substitute equation 2 in equation one,

                   Rate comes out to be =  k_{overall} [H_{2}SO_{4}]^{2} [C_{6}H_{6}]
