Answer:

The steps with correct mechanism are given below:

1) CH₄(g) + Cl(g) → CH₃(g) + HCl(g) : This is a slow step.

The rate is given as: R1 = k₁[CH₄][Cl]

2) CH₃(g) + Cl₂(g) → CH₃Cl(g) + Cl(g): This is a fast step.

The rate is given as: Rate = k₂[CH₃][Cl₂]

∴ CH₄(g) + Cl₂(g) → CH₃Cl(g) + HCl(g)

Here, the slowest step will be the rate-determining step.

Calculate the number of kilojoules to warm 125 g of iron from 23.5 °C to 78.0 °C.

insens350 [35]

Given:
Iron, 125 grams T
1 = 23.5 degrees Celsius, T2 = 78 degrees Celsius.

Required:
Heat produced in kilojoules

Solution:
The molar mass of iron is 55.8 grams per mole. SO we need to change the given mass of iron into moles.

Number of moles of iron = 125 g/(55.8 g/mol) = 2.24 moles

Q (heat) = nRT = nR(T2 = T1)
Q (heat) = 2.24 moles (8.314 Joules per mol degrees Celsius) (78.0 degrees Celsius – 23.5 degrees Celsius)
Q (heat) = 1014.97 Joules or 1.015 kilojoules This is the amount of heat produced in warming 125 g f iron.

Consider the following reaction:

NeX [460]

For the given reaction, according to the Law of Conservation of Energy, the energy required to decompose Hcl and produce $H_{2}+c l_{2}$ are equal.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

According to law of conservation's of energy, energy can only be transferred from reactants to product side. So in this process, it is stated that 185 kJ of energy will be needed to decompose it. So that 185 kJ of energy will be getting transferred to produce the creation of hydrogen and chloride in the product side.

So if we see from the reactants side, the energy of 185 kJ is required for decomposition of hydrogen chloride. Similarly, if we see from the product side, the 185 kJ utilized for decomposition is transferred as energy required to create hydrogen and chlorine atoms. This statement will be in accordance with the law of conservation's of energy.
