The maximum negative displacement of a wave is the same as its amplitude.
As a wave travels through space, its particles are sometimes above the
<em>x</em>-axis (+) and sometimes below it (-).
The maximum displacement from the axis is the <em>amplitude</em> of the wave.
The amplitude of the wave is the <em>same in both the positive and negative directions</em>.
Answer:
Part A: 2N₂O(g) ⇄ 2N₂(g) + O₂(g)
Part B: -r = K*[N₂O]²
Part C: K= k1*k2
Explanation:
Part A
To do the balance chemical question for the overall chemical reaction, we must sum the reaction of the steps, eliminating the intermediaries, which are the compounds that have the same amount both at reactants and products (bolded).
N₂O(g) ⇄ N₂(g) + O(g)
N₂O(g) + O(g) ⇄ N₂(g) + O₂(g)
---------------------------------------------
2N₂O(g) + O(g) ⇄ 2N₂(g) + O(g) + O₂(g)
2N₂O(g) ⇄ 2N₂(g) + O₂(g)
Part B
The velocity of the reaction (r) can be calculated based on the reactants or based on the products. Let's do it based on the disappearing of the reactant. Because it is disappearing, the variation at its concentration must be negative, so the rate will be negative.
Let's suppose its an elementary reaction, so, the concentration of the reactant must be elevated by its coefficient. And let's call the overall rate constant as K:
-r = K*[N₂O]²
Part C
Because the steps were summed, and the reactions were not multiplied by a constant or inverted, the constant K is just the multiplication of the constants of the steps:
K= k1*k2
The answer is the option (3) The geometric shape of a CH4 molecule
distributes the charges geometrically. the CH4 is a tetrahedral with the
Carbon atom in the center and the four H atoms in the vertices of the
tetrahedral. The C-H bond angles are all identical which makes the
molecule perfectly symmetrical and so any dipolar moment will cancel
making the molecule non polar.
