Answer:

Elements-

  1. Oxygen is essential for living organisms to survive.
  2. Carbon dioxide is essential for the survival, growth and reproduction of living things. Plants obtain carbon from the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide, which they need for photosynthesis. They convert inorganic carbon into organic carbon in the form of sugar and starch, which they add to their tissues.

Compounds-

  1. Water is essential for living organisms to stay hydrated.
  2. Carbohydrate and protein- These compound are used to form new cells and tissues and to repair.

Mixtures-

  1. Blood is very much important for the transportation of oxygen in living organisms.
  2. Blood plasma is an example of a homogeneous mixture. This is a colourless fluid that holds the blood cells in suspension. It makes up a little more than half of the volume of human blood.

What is the rate constant of a reaction if rate = 1 x 10-2 (mol/L)/s, [A] is 2 M,
boyakko [2]

The rate constant of a reaction : 8.3 x 10⁻⁴

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

rate = 1 x 10⁻² (mol/L)/s, [A] is 2 M,  [B] is 3 M, m = 2, and n = 1

Required

the rate constant

Solution

For aA + bB ⇒ C + D

Reaction rate can be formulated:

\large{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{r~=~k.[A]^a[B]^b}}}

the rate constant : k =

\tt k=\dfrac{rate}{[A]^m[B]^n}\\\\k=\dfrac{1.10^{-2}}{2^2\times 3^1}\\\\k=8.3\times 10^{-4}
