- . explain the difference between elementary reactions and multistep reactions.arrow_forwardExpress the rate of the reaction 2N2O(g)2N2(g)+O2(g) in terms of (b) [ N2O ] (a) [ O2 ]arrow_forwardThe initial concentration of the reactant in a tirst-order reaction A —» products is 0.64 rnol/L and the half-life is 30.0 s. Calculate the concentration of the reactant exactly 60 s after initiation of the reaction. How long would it take for the concentration of the reactant to drop to one-eighth its initial value? How long would it take for the concentration of the reactant to drop to 0.040 mol/L?arrow_forward
- We know that the decomposition of SO2Cl2 is first-order in SO2Cl2, SO2Cl2 SO2(g) + Cl2(g) with a half-life of 245 minutes at 600 K. If you begin with a partial pressure of SO2Cl2 of 25 mm Hg in a 1.0-L flask what is the partial pressure of each reactant and product after 245 minutes? What is the partial pressure of each reactant and product after 12 hours?arrow_forward11.64 HBr is oxidized in the following reaction: 4 HBr(g) + O2(g) —• 2 H2O(g) + 2 Br,(g) A proposed mechanism is HBr + O2 -* HOOBr (slow) HOOBr + HBr — 2 HOBr (fast) HOBr + HBr — H2O + Bn (fast) Show that this mechanism can account for the correct stoichiometry. Identify all intermediates in this mechanism. What is the molecularity of each elementary’ step? Write the rate expression for each elementary' step. Identify the rate-determining step.arrow_forwardDefine stability from both a kinetic and thermodynamic perspective. Give examples to show the differences in these concepts.arrow_forward
