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>

What is the volume of 300. g of mercury vapor at 822K and 0.900 atm?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

112.2L

Explanation:

Volume (V) = 300g

Temperature (T) = 822K

Pressure (P) = 0.9atm

using the ideal gas equation;

PV = nRT\\\\ V = \frac{nRT}{P}

Molar gas constant (R) = 0.0821L.atm/mol.K

Mole (n) = \frac{Mass (m)}{Molar mass (M)}                Molar mass of Mercury  = 200.59g/mol

n = \frac{300g}{200.59 g/mol} \\

   = 1.496mol

Now, the volume can be calculated;

V = \frac{1.496mol* 0.0821L.atm/mol.K*822K}{0.9atm}

∴Volume of mercury = 112.2L

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Barium-138

Explanation:

The mass number is the atomic number + the number of neutrons. ... Identify the atom whose nucleus is composed of 56 protons and 82 neutrons. Barium-138 (the number of protons identifies the atom) Gallium has two naturally occurring isotopes: Ga-69 with a mass of 68.9256 amu and a natural abundance of 60.11% and Ga-71.
