The reaction 2NO2(g)+F2(g)-->2NO2F(g) has an overall second order rate law, rate=k[NO2][F2]. Suggest a mechanism consistent w

ith this rate law, being sure to label steps as fast and slow. (Hint: It is easiest to assume the first step is slow.)

<span>The reason why it is easiest to assume the first step is slow is because that would be your rate determining step and would give you the rate law given in the problem. So you take the two compounds from the rate law given and put them as your two reactants in your first step: NO2 + F2 ---> NO2F + F (all gases) Your next step needs to make sense for your overall reaction. And you also need to have an intermediate which in this case will be F: F + NO2 ---> NO2F (again all gases) This is the fast step. Your intermediate cancels out to give you your overall equation: 2NO2 + F2 ---> 2NO2F (all gases)</span>

How are Parkinson's disease and ALS similar?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Both diseases affect the control of voluntary muscles.

Explanation:

Parkinson's disease is a progressive brain disease that affects movement. It affects the nerve cells that produce dopamine in the part of the brain called substantia nigra. The symptoms include shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with walking, balance, and coordination. Symptoms get worse with time, often leaving people with difficulty walking and talking.

ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a progressive nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The first symptoms usually involve muscle weakness, and as the disease progresses, it results in the loss of muscle control.

Scientists don't know the exact cause of these diseases. As the cause is not known, there is no exact way to prevent them. There is no cure for them, either. The treatment is focused on the management of symptoms.

This is why the third option is the correct one.

Suppose the half-life is 9.0 s for a first order reaction and the reactant concentration is 0.0741 M 50.7 s after the reaction s
bazaltina [42]

<u>Answer:</u> The time taken by the reaction is 84.5 seconds

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

where,

t_{1/2} = half-life of the reaction = 9.0 s

k = rate constant = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{0.693}{9}=0.077s^{-1}

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}     ......(1)

where,

k = rate constant  = 0.077s^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process = 50.7 sec

[A_o] = initial amount of the reactant = ?

[A] = amount left after decay process =  0.0741 M

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.077=\frac{2.303}{50.7}\log\frac{[A_o]}{0.0741}

[A_o]=3.67M

Now, calculating the time taken by using equation 1:

[A]=0.0055M

k=0.077s^{-1}

[A_o]=3.67M

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.077=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{3.67}{0.0055}\\\\t=84.5s

Hence, the time taken by the reaction is 84.5 seconds

A group of birds eat fruit from a tree. The fruit falls to the ground where
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Both answer choice 2 and answer choice 3 are correct choices.

Explanation:

Biotic factors are living components in an ecosystem. They are living organisms which affect another living component in an ecosystem.

Antibiotic factors are non living components of an ecosystem. They are chemicals which affect living organisms.

The choice 2 is correct. The seeds spread out by mice is a biotic factor interacting with an antibiotic factor

Choice 3 is correct. The seeds in the soil grow into new trees are biotic factors interacting with an antibiotic factor
