Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The molecularity of the given reaction has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The elementary reactions are categorized according to their molecularity. The term molecularity is referred to the number of reacting species which can be molecules, ions or atoms in an elementary reaction. If there is only one reactant molecule in an elementary reaction then its molecularity is equal to one and reaction is said to be unimolecular. If there are two reactant molecules in an elementary reaction then its molecularity is equal to two and reaction is said to be bimolecular.
(b)
Interpretation:
The molecularity of the given reaction has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Same as part (a).

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- What is involved in Phases l and Phases ll of biotransformation?arrow_forwardCan "conventional chemistry" physical chemistry, such as study of kinetics, thermodyanamics, spectroscopy and electrochemistry, be regarded as a kind of computational chemistry.arrow_forwardThe diameter of the methyl radical is about 308 pm. What is the maximum rate constant in the expression d[C2H6]/dt = kr[CH3]2 for second-order recombination of radicals at 298 K? It is reported that 10 per cent of a sample of ethane of volume 1.0 dm3 at 298 K and 100 kPa is dissociated into methyl radicals. What is the minimum time for 90 per cent recombination?arrow_forward
- How much energy is due to the additional steric strain of the 1,3-diaxial interaction?arrow_forwardasdbas14arrow_forwardThe enzyme-catalysed conversion of a substrate at 298 K has KM = 0.032 mol dm−3 and vmax = 4.25 × 10−4 mol dm−3 s−1 when the enzyme concentration is 3.60 × 10−9 mol dm−3. Calculate the catalytic efficiency of the enzyme, as defined in Exercise E17F.5(a).arrow_forward
- Explain the major difference between the Michaelis-Menten equation and the Briggs-Haldane treatment of enzyme kinetics?arrow_forwardThe first step in plant photosynthesis is absorption of light by chlorophyll molecules bound to proteins known as ‘light-harvesting complexes’, where the fluorescence of a chlorophyll molecule is quenched by other nearby chlorophyll molecules. Given that for a pair of chlorophyll a molecules R0 = 5.6 nm, by what distance should two chlorophyll a molecules be separated to shorten the fluorescence lifetime from 1 ns (a typical value for monomeric chlorophyll a in organic solvents) to 10 ps?arrow_forwardEstimate the spin-only molar susceptibility of CuSO4⋅5H2O at 25 °C.arrow_forward
- Write the mechanism for the inner-sphere electron-transfer reaction between [Co(NH3)5SCN]2+ and [Cr(H2O)6]2+ that produces the pentaaqua-N-thiocyanatochromium(III) cation as one of its products.arrow_forwardCalculate the (a) Linearity constant (r), (b) y-intercept, (c) Slope, and (d) Protein content of an unknown sample having an absorbance of 0.325.arrow_forwardExplain the Characteristics of the SN1 Mechanism ?arrow_forward
