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>

How many atoms are in 4H3BO3
maksim [4K]

1 mole of h3bo3...........6.023*10²³ each h and B and 0 so we will have 3hydrogen+ 1 B+3 oxygen = 7*6.023*10²³ atoms

1 mole .......7*6.023*10²³atoms

4 moles ........x atoms

x=4*7*6.023*10²³.

Why does a catalyst work for a long time before it needs replacing?
DedPeter [7]
Because the catalyst is not really part of the reaction. it is something that speed up a reaction by lowering the energy need for the reaction to take place. however, in the end the catalyst is brought back to its initial state. that's why it is long lasting

Magnesium oxide can be very bad for your health, and when we did an experiment with it in class it was white because it was so hot. It is very flammable.

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2>----------------------------------------------------------------------</h2><h2>ELECTROPLATING </h2>

Electroplating the plating one metal on to the another metal, It is mostly used for preventing corrosion by using copper or chromium or decorate the object by using gold or silver plating.

__________________________________________________________

<h3>Principle:</h3>

When electricity is passed the thin layer of metal is deposited on another metal and water molecule given out as a By-Product, Thus this process works on the principle of Hydrolysis.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>QUESTION:</h2>

A) Electrolysis

B) Chromium prevents corrosion and gives the fine shining touch to the objects.

C) The metal which is deposited to the object i.e. spoon will be connected to the positive electrode of a battery, Thus it is anode. The spoon at which electroplating is need to be done is connected to the negative electrode, thus the Spoon is cathode.
