count the elements in eqn MgI2 + Br2 -> MgBr2 + I2
1 Mg, 2I, 2Br on the left n
1 Mg, 2I, 2Br on the right
they are equal so the eqn is balanced
Energy is equal to motion over speed
Answer:
a. 2nd order reaction.
b. The first step is the slow step.
Explanation:
r = k[NO][Cl₂]
a. The reaction is first-order in [NO] and first-order in [Cl₂], so it is second-order overall.
b. The first step is the slow step, because it predicts the correct rate law.
c. is wrong. Doubling [NO] would double the rate, because the reaction is first-order in [NO].
d. is wrong. Cutting [Cl₂] in half would halve the rate, because the reaction is first-order in [Cl₂].
e. is wrong. The molecularity is two, because two particles are colliding.
f. is wrong. Both steps are bimolecular.
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
You try to get 8 electron on the outermost "shell" so you have no left over or "valence" electrons.
The substance most likely is an inert element because it is only composed of one kind of atom and cant be separated further. Also, it cannot be converted to another type of substance. An inert material doesn't react to any substance. Examples are Neon and Krypton.
