03:06 03:06The following pictures represent the progress of the reaction AS B in which A molecules (red spheres) are converted to B molecules (blue spheres).
(b) Draw a picture that shows the number of A and B molecules present at t = 3 min.
The following pictures represent the progress of the reaction AS B in which A molecules (red spheres) are converted to B molecules (blue spheres).
(c) Suppose that each sphere represents 6.0⨉1021 molecules and that the volume of the container is 1.0 L. What is the rate constant for the reaction in the usual units?
Consider a reaction that occurs by the following mechanism:
A + BC → AC + B
AC + D → A + CD
The potential energy profile for this reaction is as follows:
(b) Write structural formulas for all species present at reaction stages 1–5. Identify each species as a reactant, product, catalyst, intermediate, or transition state.
Consider a reaction that occurs by the following mechanism:
A + BC → AC + B
AC + D → A + CD
The potential energy profile for this reaction is as follows:
(c) Which of the two steps in the mechanism is the rate-determining step? Write the rate law for the overall reaction.
