How to set up the rate expressions for the following mechanism?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anestetic [448]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

A → B k₁

B → A k₂

B + C → D k₃

The rate law = \dfrac{d[D]}{dt}=k_3[B][C] --- (1)

\dfrac{d[B]}{dt}=k[A] -k_2[B] -k_3[B][C]

Using steady-state approximation;

\dfrac{d[B]}{dt}=0

k_1[A]-k_2[B]-k_3[B][C] = 0

[B] = \dfrac{k_1[A]}{k_2+k_3[C]}

From equation (1), we have:

\mathbf{\dfrac{d[D]}{dt}= \dfrac{k_3k_1[A][C]}{k_2+k_3[C]}}

when the pressure is high;

k₂ << k₃[C]

\dfrac{d[D]}{dt} = \dfrac{k_3k_1[A][C]}{k_3[C]}= k_1A \ \  \text{first order}

k₂ >> k₃[C]

\dfrac{d[D]}{dt} = \dfrac{k_3k_1[A][C]}{k_2}= \dfrac{k_1k_3}{k_2}[A][C] \ \  \text{second order}

describe the behavior of the molecules in a liquid. Explain this behavior in terms of intermolecular forces.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Molecules in liquids are held to other molecules by intermolecular interactions, which are weaker than the intramolecular interactions that hold the atoms together within molecules and polyatomic ions.

Two colleagues are measuring the melting point of a substance. They observe two ranges of melting point, at 134-137 °C and 132-1
marissa [1.9K]

Explanation:

impurities affect both melting point and boiling point

in the case of melting point it lowers the melting point

so I guess one of the samples Ie contained impurities
