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
Absorbance is related to the concentration of a substance using the Beer-Lambert's Law. According to this law, absorbance is linearly related to concentration. However, this is only true up to a certain concentration depending on the substance. For this case, we assume that the said law is applicable.
A = kC
Using the first conditions, ewe solve for k.
0.26 = k (0.10)
k = 2.6
A = kC
A = 2.6 (0.20) = 0.52
Therefore, the absorbance at a concentration of 0.20 M and wavelength of 500nm is 0.52.
Answer:
The rate law may be determined only by experiment.
Explanation:
For a reaction, A + B ---> C, the rate law can only be determined from experimental data. Chemists determine the rate of reaction by carefully observing the changes in the concentration of species as the reaction progresses.
Hence, the rate law is not determined by inspection of the chemical reaction equation, it must be obtained from the experimental data, hence the answer given.
Answer:
Dust and smoke.
Explanation:
Dust and smoke are two different particles present in the air. Dust and smoke are different from one another due to their origin. Smoke formed from burning of materials while dust refers to the soil particles lifted by the wind due to their light weight. Dust and smoke are similar to each other due to their small in size, infinite number means uncountable and light weight.
