Need help asap - There is an error in the rate-determining step of the following proposed mechanism.

Chemistry
1 answer:
sdas [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

CH4(g) + Cl2(g) → CH3(g) + HCl(g) and the rate rule is k1 = [CH4][Cl2]

Explanation:

Firstly, we must remember that the substitution reaction between halogens and alkanes to yield halogenoalkanes does not proceed by ionic mechanism rather it proceeds by free radical mechanism.

Now, if we look at the rate determining step as shown in the question, the elementary reaction equation of that step is not balanced.

Hence, the correct elementary reaction equation for the rate determining step and the rate law is; CH4(g) + Cl2(g) → CH3(g) + HCl(g) and the rate rule is k1 = [CH4][Cl2]

How does evolution work
sergey [27]
Billions of years ago, according to the theory of evolution, chemicals randomly organized themselves into a self-replicating molecule. This spark of life was the seed of every living thing we see today (as well as those we no longer see, like dinosaurs). That simplest life form, through the processes of mutation and natural selection, has been shaped into every living species on the planet.

Washing soda is a hydrate of sodium carbonate. Elemental analysis of a sample of washing soda gave 4.20% C and 7.05% H. What is
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Na₂CO₃ · 10H₂O

Explanation:

The formula for sodium carbonate hydrate is:

Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O

The unknown "x" is the number of water molecules contained in the hydrate.

To find "x" we have to use the hydrogen percentage in the sample, 7.05 % H.

First we calculate the molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O:

molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O = 23 × 2 + 12 + 16 × 3 + 18x

molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O = 106 + 18x  g/mole

Now we devise the fallowing reasoning tanking in account 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O:

if in        106 + 18x grams of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O we have 2x grams of hydrogen

then in  100 grams of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O we have 7.05 grams of hydrogen

106 + 18x = (100 × 2x) / 7.05

106 + 18x = 28.4x

106 = 28.4x - 18x

106 = 10.4x

x = 106 / 10.4

x = 10.2 ≈ 10

The formula for the washing soda is Na₂CO₃ · 10H₂O.

Where glucose is broken down into smaller molecules to produce energy. The second part of the process takes place in the
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Mitochondria

Explanation:

Glucose in an energy molecule contained in carbohydrate food substances. The end product of the digestion of carbohydrate is glucose which is broken down to produce energy.

The sequence of breakdown of glucose is as follows; In the first step, 6-carbon glucose is broken down into two molecules of  3-carbon pyruvic acid. This occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. It is an anaerobic process.

In the second step which occurs in the mitochondrion, each of the molecules of pyruvic acid is now oxidized to carbon dioxide and water and energy is produced in the process.
