Which of the following sets of units is appropriate for a second order rate constant?
1 answer:
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
According to the law of mass action:-
The rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the active concentration of the reactant which each are raised to the experimentally determined coefficients which are known as orders. The rate is determined by the slowest step in the reaction mechanics.
Order of in the mass action law is the coefficient which is raised to the active concentration of the reactants. It is experimentally determined and can be zero, positive negative or fractional.
The order of the whole reaction is the sum of the order of each reactant which is raised to its power in the rate law.
Given that:- order = 2
So,
Units of rate of reaction = M/s
Units of [A] = M
So,
Units of K =
Also, M = mol/L
So, units of second rate constant =

Answer: The structure for the boron nitride molecule will be linear.
Explanation: When boron and nitrogen combine together to form a compound, the boron element will loose 3 electrons which will be easily accepted by the nitrogen element.
Boron : Atomic number is 5
Electronic configuration:
To attain stable configuration, boron will loose 3 electrons easily.
Nitrogen : Atomic number is 7
Electronic configuration:
To attain stable configuration. nitrogen will gain 3 electrons easily.
Hence, to form a molecule with these two elements, there will be 3 bonds present in between them and 1 pair of lone pair will be left on the nitrogen atom.
Structure of boron nitride ( which is linear) is attached in the image below.
