Answer:

Rate: R = k [A]²

Explanation:

The rate law equation for a given complex chemical reaction is given as the product of molar concentrations of the reactant raised to the power their respective partial reaction orders. The sum of the partial reaction orders is equal to the overall order of reaction.

For a complex reaction, the rate law is generally determined by the slowest step, which is known as the rate-determining step.

<u>Given reaction mechanism:</u>

Step 1: 2 A⟶ B,               slow step

Step 2: B+ C⟶ D,            fast step

Overall: 2 A + C ⟶ D

In this given reaction mechanism, the <em>step 1 is the slow step and thus the rate determining step.</em>

Therefore, the rate law for the given mechanism is:

Rate: R = k [A]²

Here, k is the overall rate constant

Also, the overall order of the reaction = 2

Therefore, the given chemical reaction is said to be second order reaction.

How does the electro negativity difference between atoms determine the type of bond they will form
siniylev [52]

The absolute value of the difference in electronegativity (ΔEN) of two bonded atoms provides a rough measure of the polarity to be expected in the bond and, thus, the bond type. When the difference is very small or zero, the bond is covalent and nonpolar. When it is large, the bond is polar covalent or ionic.
