Answer:
The options <u>(A) -</u>The rate law for a given reaction can be determined from a knowledge of the rate-determining step in that reaction's mechanism. and <u>(C) </u>-The rate laws of bimolecular elementary reactions are second order overall ,<u>is true.</u>
Explanation:
(A) -The rate law can only be calculated from the reaction's slowest or rate-determining phase, according to the first sentence.
(B) -The second statement is not entirely right, since we cannot evaluate an accurate rate law by simply looking at the net equation. It must be decided by experimentation.
(C) -Since there are two reactants, the third statement is correct: most bimolecular reactions are second order overall.
(D)-The fourth argument is incorrect. We must track the rates of and elementary phase that is following the reaction in order to determine the rate.
<u>Therefore , the first and third statement is true.</u>
To answer this question, you need to know <span>Graham's Law of Effusion/Diffusion formula. In this formula, the rate of diffusion/effusion would be influenced by the mass. As the molecule has bigger mass, the rate should be slower because it will be harder to pass the membrane. The calculation should be:</span>
<span>Rate 1 / Rate 2 = √[M2/M1]
</span>4.11/1= √[M2/2]
M2=33.78 g/mol
