Answer: the answer is option (D). k[P]²[Q]

Explanation:

first of all, let us consider the reaction from the question;

2P + Q → 2R + S

and the reaction mechanism for the above reaction given thus,

P + P ⇄ T     (fast)

Q + T → R + U    (slow)

U → R + S    (fast)

we would be applying the Rate law  to determine the mechanism.

The mechanism above is a three step process where the slowest step seen is the rate determining step. From this, we can see that this slow step involves an intermediate T as reactant and is expressed in terms of a starting substance P.

It is important to understand that laws based on experiment do not allow for intermediate concentration.  

The mechanism steps for the reactions in the question  are given below when we add them by cancelling the intermediates on the opposite side of the equations then we get the overall reaction equation.

adding this steps gives a final overall reaction reaction.

2P + Q ------------˃ 2R + S

Thus the rate equation is given as

Rate (R) = K[P]²[Q]

cheers, i hope this helps

Acetaldehyde decomposes at 750 K: CH3CHO → CO + CH4. The reaction is first order in acetaldehyde and the half-life of the reacti
Degger [83]

Answer:

k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

Explanation:

For a first order reaction the integrated rate law is

Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = - kt

where [A] are the concentrations of acetaldehyde in this case, t is the time and k is the rate constant.

We are given the half life for the concentration of acetaldehyde to fall to one half its original value, thus

Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = Ln 1/2[A]₀/[A]₀= Ln 1/2 = - kt

- 0.693 = - k(530s) ⇒ k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

If the actual yield of a reaction is 37.6 g while the theoretical yield is 112.8 g what is the percent yield
Zigmanuir [339]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The percent yield of the reaction is 32.45%

<h2>Why?</h2>

To calculate the percent yield, we have to consider the theoretical yield and the actual yield. The theoretical yield as its name says is the yield expected, however, many times the difference between the theoretical yield and the actual yield is notorious.

We are given that:

ActualYield=37.6g\\TheoreticalYield=112.8g

Now, to calculate the percent yield, we need to divide the actual yield by the theoretical and multiply it by 100.

So, calculating we have:

PercentYield=\frac{ActualYield}{TheoreticalYield}*100\\\\PercentYield=\frac{37.6g}{112.8g}*100=0.3245*100=32.45(percent)

Hence, we have that the percent yield of the reaction is 32.45%.

Have a nice day!

mastering chem If the experiment below is run for 60 s, 0.16 mol A remain. Which of the following statements is or are true? At
Dvinal [7]

Answer: All of the statements are true.

Explanation:

(a) Considering the system mentioned in the equation:-

The sum of total moles in the flask will always be equal to 1 which leads to confirmation of this statement as for 60 secs= 0.16 mol A and 0.84 mol B

(b) 0<t< 20s,  mole A got reduced from 1 mole to 0.54 moles while at 40s to 60s A got decreased from 0.30 moles to 0.16 moles.

0 to 20s is 0.46 (1 - 0.54 = 0.46)mol whereas,

40 to 60s is 0.14 (0.30-.16 = 0.14) mol

(0.46 > 0.14) mol leading this statement to be true as well.

(c) Average rate from t1 = 40 to t2 = 60 s is given by:

\delta moles/\delta time  = 0.30-0.16/60-40 = 0.007 Mol/s which is true as well

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The glow stick in hot water will be brighter

Explanation:

The glow stick in hot water will be brighter than the glow stick in cold water because the heat from the hot water will cause the molecules in the glow stick to move faster. The faster the molecules move in the glow stick, the sooner and brighter the reaction will be. The cold water will cause molecules to move slowly and it will take longer for the reaction to occur, which will also make it less bright.
