The reaction described by H2(g)+I2(g)⟶2HI(g) has an experimentally determined rate law of rate=k[H2][I2] Some proposed mechanism

s for this reaction are: Mechanism A (1) H2(g)+I2(g)−→k12HI(g)(one-step reaction) Mechanism B (1) I2(g)⥫⥬=k−1k12I(g)(fast, equilibrium) (2) H2(g)+2I(g)−→k22HI(g) (slow) Mechanism C (1) I2(g)⥫⥬=k−1k12I(g)(fast, equilibrium) (2) I(g)+H2(g)−→k2HI(g)+H(g) (slow) (3) H(g)+I(g)−→k3HI(g) (fast) Which of these mechanisms are consistent with the observed rate law? mechanism A mechanism C mechanism B In 1967, J. H. Sullivan showed that this reaction was dramatically catalyzed by light when the energy of the light was sufficient to break the I−I bond in an I2 molecule. Which mechanism or mechanisms are consistent with both the rate law and this additional observation? mechanism A mechanism C mechanism B

Answer:

Mechanism A and B are consistent with observed rate law

Mechanism A is consistent with the observation of J. H. Sullivan

Explanation:

In a mechanism of a reaction, the rate is determinated by the slow step of the mechanism.

In the proposed mechanisms:

Mechanism A

(1) H2(g)+I2(g)→2HI(g)(one-step reaction)

Mechanism B

(1) I2(g)⇄2I(g)(fast, equilibrium)

(2) H2(g)+2I(g)→2HI(g) (slow)

Mechanism C

(1) I2(g) ⇄ 2I(g)(fast, equilibrium)

(2) I(g)+H2(g) ⇄ HI(g)+H(g) (slow)

(3) H(g)+I(g)→HI(g) (fast)

The rate laws are:

A: rate = k₁ [H2] [I2]

B: rate = k₂ [H2] [I]²

As:

K-1 [I]² = K1 [I2]:

rate = k' [H2] [I2]

<em>Where K' = K1 * K2</em>

C: rate = k₁ [H2] [I]

As:

K-1 [I]² = K1 [I2]:

rate = k' [H2] [I2]^1/2

Thus, just <em>mechanism A and B are consistent with observed rate law</em>

In the equilibrium of B, you can see the I-I bond is broken in a fast equilibrium (That means the rupture of the bond is not a determinating step in the reaction), but in mechanism A, the fast rupture of I-I bond could increase in a big way the rate of the reaction. Thus, just <em>mechanism A is consistent with the observation of J. H. Sullivan</em>

Water is found in lakes and rivers. Its purpose in nature is to hydrate animals

Hydrogen gas is not abundant in nature, but hydrogen is abundant in water. Hydrogen (bonds) help ice float. Otherwise, freezing lakes would kill animals (it actually doesn't since the ice creates a "coat" above the water").

Ammonia is nitrogen-rich molecules that plant uses to get their nitrogen. It comes from the part of the nitrogen cycle where dead plants and animals are decayed.

Carbon dioxide is what we exhale. Plants "inhale" carbon dioxide and use that for photosynthesis.

Hydrogen sulfide is emitted by volcanoes and by anaerobic (oxygen-less) decay from bacteria.

Have an awesome day! I hope this helps.

How do you calculate mass using density and volume?
skad [1K]
Example:

Mass = ?

Density = 25 g/mL

Volume = 5 mL

therefore:

d = m / V

25 = m / 5

m = 25 x 5

m = 125 g

hope this helps!

Force = 2.32 N<br> Acceleration = 0.19 m/s2<br> Mass= ?
Mkey [24]

mass = 12.2 kg

Explanation:

To find the mass we use the following formula (Newton's Second Law of Motion):

force = mass × acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 2.32 N / 0.19 m/s²

mass = 12.2 kg
