Which chemical symbols will complete the equation for this decomposition reaction?

Consider the following hypothetical reaction: 2 P + Q â†’ 2 R + S The following mechanism is proposed for this reaction: P + P Q

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

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

A sample of H2SO4 contains 2.02 g of hydrogen, 32.07 g of sulfur, and 64.00 g of oxygen. How many grams of sulfur and grams of o

Gemiola [76]

From the chemical formula of sulfuric acid, we can see the molar ratio:

H : S : O
2 : 1 : 4

Now, we convert the mass of hydrogen given into the moles of hydrogen. This is done using

Moles = mass / Mr
Moles = 7.27 / 1
Moles = 7.27

Therefore, the moles will be:

S = 7.27 / 2 = 3.64 moles
O = 7.27 * 2 = 14.54 moles

Now, the respective masses are:
S = 32 * 3.64 = 116.48 grams
O = 16 * 14.54 = 232.64 grams

The elements chlorine and iodine have similar chemical properties because they _____. Group of answer choices have the same numb

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Have the same number of electrons in their outer energy levels

Explanation:

Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electron(s) in their outermost shell.

Chlorine and Iodine have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electron in their outermost shell. This can be seen from their electronic configuration as shown below:

Cl (17) => 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁵

I (53) => [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s²5p⁵

From the above illustration:

Outer shell of Cl (3s²3p⁵) = 2 + 5 = 7 electrons

Outer shell of I (5s²5p⁵) = 2 + 5 = 7 electrons

Since they have the same number of valence electrons, therefore, they will have similar chemical properties.

4.82 g of an unknown metal is heated to 115.0∘C and then placed in 35 mL of water at 28.7∘C, which then heats up to 34.5∘C. What

nikitadnepr [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The specific heat of metal is 2.34 J/g°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 35 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{35mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1g/mL\times 35mL)=35g$

When metal is dipped in water, the amount of heat released by metal will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by water.

$Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}$

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]$ ......(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

$m_1$ = mass of metal = 4.82 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 35 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = 34.5°C

$T_1$ = initial temperature of metal = 115°C

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = 28.7°C

$c_1$ = specific heat of metal = ?

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$4.82\times c_1\times (34.5-110)=-[35\times 4.186\times (34.5-28.7)]$

$c_1=2.34J/g^oC$

Hence, the specific heat of metal is 2.34 J/g°C

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a) find attached image 1

b) find attached image 2

Explanation :

The more stable radical is formed by a reaction with smaller bond dissociation energy.

since the bond dissociation for cleavage of the bond to form primary free radical is higher, more energy must be added to form it. This makes primary free radical higher in energy and therefore less stable than secondary free radical.
