Answer:
X= Be
Y= B
Z=O
Explanation:
From the description of the compound XCl2, among the options listed only beryllium can form such compound with three lone pairs in the two chlorine atoms and no lone pair on the central atom X.
From the description of YCl3, only Boron among the options listed can form such a compound with no lone pair on the central atom and three lone pairs on each of the chlorine atoms.
From the description of ZCl2, only oxygen forms the compound OCl2 among the elements listed where oxygen possesses two lone pairs and each chlorine atom possesses three lone pairs each.
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1) Rate law, at a given temperature:</u>
- Since all the data are obtained at the same temperature, the equilibrium constant is the same.
- Since only reactants A and B participate in the reaction, you assume that the form of the rate law is:
r = K [A]ᵃ [B]ᵇ
<u>2) Use the data from the table</u>
- Since the first and second set of data have the same concentration of the reactant A, you can use them to find the exponent b:
r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s
r₂ = (1.50)ᵃ (2.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s
Divide r₂ by r₁: [ 2.50 / 1.50] ᵇ = 1 ⇒ b = 0
- Use the first and second set of data to find the exponent a:
r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s
r₃ = (3.00)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 5.00 × 10⁻¹ M/s
Divide r₃ by r₂: [3.00 / 1.50]ᵃ = [5.00 / 2.50]
2ᵃ = 2 ⇒ a = 1
<u>3) Write the rate law</u>
This means, that the rate is independent of reactant B and is of first order respect reactant A.
<u>4) Use any set of data to find K</u>
With the first set of data
- r = K (1.50 M) = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s ⇒ K = 0.250 M/s / 1.50 M = 0.167 s⁻¹
Result: the rate constant is K = 0.167 s⁻¹
The answer is going to be hydrochloric acid, therefore hydrochloric acid is a binary acid.
