The overall reaction is given by:

Br_{2}(g) + 2 NO(g) \rightarrow  2 NOBr(g)

The fast step reaction is given as:

NO(g) + Br_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons NOBr_{2}(g) (fast; k_{eq}= \frac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}})

The slow step reaction is given as:

NOBr_{2}(g) + NO(g) \rightarrow  2 NOBr(g) (slow step k_{2})

Now, the expression for the rate of reaction of fast reaction is:

r_{1}=k_{1}[NO][Br_{2}]-k_{-1}[NOBr_{2}]

The expression for the rate of reaction of slow reaction is:

r_{2}=k_{2}[NOBr_{2}] [NO]

Slow step is the rate determining step. Thus, the overall rate of formation is the rate of formation of slow reaction as [NOBr_{2}] takes place in this reaction.

The expression of rate of formation is:

\frac{d(NOBr)}{dt}=r_{2}

= k_{2}[NOBr_{2}][NO]    (1)

Now, consider that the fast step is always is in equilibrium. Therefore, r_{1}=0

k_{1}[NO][Br_{2}]= k_{-1}[NOBr_{2}]

[NOBr_{2}] = \frac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}}[NO][Br_{2}]

Substitute the value of [NOBr_{2}] in equation (1), we get:

\frac{d(NOBr)}{dt}=k_{2}[NOBr_{2}][NO]

=k_{2} \frac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}}[NO][Br_{2}][NO]

= \frac{k_{1}k_{2}}{k_{-1}}[NO]^{2}[Br_{2}]

Thus, rate law of formation of NOBr in terms of reactants is given by \frac{k_{1}k_{2}}{k_{-1}}[NO]^{2}[Br_{2}].

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Ver las respuestas abajo.

Explanation:

Este problema se puede resolver conociendo la relacion entre horas y minutos, sabemos que:

1 hora [h] → 60 minutos [min]

De esta manera:

2 [min] = 2/60 = 0.033 [h]

15 [min] = 15/60 = 0.25 [h]

30 [min] = 30/60 = 0.5 [h]

10 [min] = 10/60 = 0.166 [h]

6 [min] = 6/60 = 0.1 [h]

20 [min] = 20/60 = 0.33 [h]

5 [min] = 5/60 = 0.0833 [h]

If you examined the human body on a chemical composition basis, which of the following combinations of elements would be most co
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

(C) O, C, H, N

Explanation:

<u>Roughly 96% of mass of human body is made up of four elements which are oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen.</u>

Oxygen and hydrogen are predominantly found in the water, which makes up about 60% of body's weight. Carbon is synonymous with the life. The central role of carbon is due to fact that it has four bonding sites which allow for building of long and complex chains of the molecules. Moreover, these carbon bonds can be formed and also be broken with amount of energy which makes life alive. Nitrogen is found in organic molecules, including amino acids which make up the proteins, and nucleic acids which make up the DNA.
