Answer:

C. Gas exchange occurs through the placenta.

Explanation:

The fetus is a developing baby in the womb or uterus. The fetus is incapable of performing certain life processes itself and hence, depends on the mother to do them. One of these processes is GAS EXCHANGE. Gas exchange occurs in the fetus via a structure called PLACENTA.

Placenta is a structure that forms in the uterus during pregnancy. It helps the developing fetus supply oxygen and nutrients from the mother and also remove wastes from the fetus back to the mother. The oxygen is taken into the fetus via the PLACENTA while the carbon dioxide (waste product of respiration) is removed via the PLACENTA. Hence, Gas exchange occurs through the placenta.

Determine the rate law, including the values of the orders and rate law constant, for the following reaction using the experimen

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Rate = (0.64 M²/min) [A]¹[B]²

Explanation:

1) Determination of the orders of A & B:

The rate law of the reaction = k [A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ

where, k is the rate law constant,

a is the order of the reaction with respect to reactant A,

b is the order of the reaction with respect to reactant B.

This is initial rate method problem:

From trial 1 & 2:

Reactant [A] has the same concentration in both trials, but [B] has different concentrations and the rate of the reaction changes, so the reaction rate depends on [B].

From trial 1, Rate₁ = k [A₁]ᵃ[B₁]ᵇ, [1.2 × 10⁻² M/min] = k [0.30 M]ᵃ[0.25 M]ᵇ

From trial 2, Rate₂ = k [A₂]ᵃ[B₂]ᵇ, [4.8 × 10⁻² M/min] = k [0.30 M]ᵃ[0.50 M]ᵇ

By dividing Rate₁ / Rate₂:

Rate₁ / Rate₂ = k [A₁]ᵃ[B₁]ᵇ / k [A₂]ᵃ[B₂]ᵇ

[1.2 × 10⁻² M/min] / [4.8 × 10⁻² M/min] = k [0.30 M]ᵃ[0.25]ᵇ / k [0.30 M]ᵃ[0.50 M]ᵇ

0.25 = [0.50]ᵇ

Taking log for both sides; log(0.25) = b log(0.5)

b = log(0.25) / log(0.5) = 2.

The reaction is second order with respect to reactant B.

By the same way for reactant A:

From trial 2 & 3:

Reactant [B] has the same concentration in both trials, but [A] has different concentrations and the rate of the reaction changes, so the reaction rate depends on [A].

From trial 2, Rate₂ = k [A₂]ᵃ[B₂]ᵇ, [4.8 × 10⁻² M/min] = k [0.30 M]ᵃ[0.50 M]ᵇ

From trial 2, Rate₃ = k [A₃]ᵃ[B₃]ᵇ, [9.6 × 10⁻² M/min] = k [0.60 M]ᵃ[0.50 M]ᵇ

By dividing Rate₂ / Rate₃:

Rate₂ / Rate₃ = k [A₂]ᵃ[B₂]ᵇ / k [A₃]ᵃ[B₃]ᵇ

[4.8 × 10⁻² M/min] / [9.6 × 10⁻² M/min] = k [0.30 M]ᵃ[0.50 M]ᵇ / k [0.60 M]ᵃ[0.50 M]ᵇ

0.50 = [0.50]ᵃ

Taking log for both sides; log(0.50) = a log(0.5)

a = log(0.50) / log(0.50) = 1.

The reaction is first order with respect to reactant A.

The rate law of the reaction will be: Rate = k [A]¹[B]²

The overall order of the reaction is third order reaction.

2) Determining the rate law constant:

Taking data of trial 1:

Rate = k [A]¹[B]²

[1.2 × 10⁻² M/min] = k [0.30 M]¹[0.25 M]²

k = [1.2 × 10⁻² M/min] / [0.30 M]¹[0.25 M]² = 0.64 M²/min.

So, the rate law will be: Rate = (0.64 M²/min) [A]¹[B]²
