Deuterium is the isotope of hydrogen of mass number 2, with a proton and a neutron in its nucleus. The chemistry of deuterium is

nearly identical to the chemistry of hydrogen, except that C−D bond is slightly (5.0KJ/mole) stonger than the C−H bond. Reaction rates tend to be slower if a C−D bond as opposed to a C−H bond is broken in a rate limiting step. This effect on the rate is called a kinetic isotope effect.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

We know that the zero-point-energy of a C-D system is quite lower than the zero point energy of the C-H bond so the C-D bond is stronger.

Kinetic isotope effect refers to the change in the rate of reaction owing to a change of one of the atoms of the reactants by replacing it with one of its isotopes.

Since we know that the C-D bond is stronger than the C-H bond, when we replace hydrogen with deuterium in a reaction's rate determining step we experience a little lag in the rate of reaction. This is referred to as the kinetic isotope effect in physical organic chemistry.

A negative ion is (larger/smaller) than its parent atom.<br> Why?
Kay [80]

Answer:

When an atom attracts extra electrons it becomes a negative ion. The negative ion is larger than the original atom. The positive nucleus remains the same, with the same attractive force. However, this attractive force is now pulling on more electrons and therefore has less effect.

Or

Positive ions are formed by removing one or more electrons from the outermost region of the atom. The opposite is true of negative ions. When electrons are added to form an anion, the increased electron-electron repulsions cause the electrons to spread out more in space. Thus, anions are larger than their parent atoms.

Many double-displacement reactions are enzyme-catalyzed via the "ping pong" mechanism, so called because the reactants appear to
zhenek [66]

Answer:

<u>D. It will decrease by a factor of 4</u>

Explanation:

According to the question , the equation follows :

A+B\rightarrow C+D

Rate law : This states the rate of reaction is directly proportional to concentration of reactants with each reactant raised to some power which may or may not be equal to the stoichiometeric coefficient.

Rate\ \alpha [A]^{a}[B]^{b}

r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}.................(1)

STEP": First, find out the power "a" and "b"

a+b = 3 (because it is given that the reaction follow 3rd order-kinetics)

According to question, <u><em>doubling the concentration of the first reactant causes the rate to increase by a factor of 2 means,</em></u>

r' = 2r if [A'] = 2[A]

Here [B] is uneffected means [B']=[B]

hence new rate =

r'=[A']^{a}[B']^{b}

Put the value of [A'] , [B'] and r' in the above equation:

2r=[2A]^{a}[B]^{b}...........(2)

Divide equation (1) by (2) we , get

\frac{2r}{r}=\frac{[2A]^{2}[B]^{b}}{[A]^{a}[B]^{b}}

2= 2(\frac{A}{A})^{a}\times (\frac{B}{B})^{b}

Here A and A cancel each other

B and B cancel each other

We get,

2= 2^{a}\times 1^{b}

1^b = 1 ( power of 1 = 1)

2= 2^{a}

This is possible only when a = 1

We know that : a + b = 3

1 + b = 3

b =3 -1  = 2

b = 2

Hence the rate law becomes :

r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}

<u>r=[A]^{1}[B]^{2}.............(3)</u>

Look in the question now, it is asked to calculate the concentration of [B],if  cut in half

Hence

[B']=1/2[B]

Insert the value of [B'] in equation (3)

r'=[A]^{1}[B']^{2}

r'=[A]^{1}(\frac{1}{2}[B])^{2}

r'=\frac{1}{4}[A]^{1}[B]^{2}............(a)

But

r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}..............(b)

Compare equation (a) and (b) , we get

new rate r' =

<u>r' = 1/4 r</u>
