can you help w/ d? ### Chemical Reaction Mechanism and Rate Law Analysis#### c. Analysis of a Proposed MechanismA possible mechanism for the given reaction consists of two steps:\[ \text{NO}_2(\text{g}) + \text{NO}_2(\text{g}) \rightarrow \text{NO}_3(\text{g}) + \text{NO}(\text{g}) \quad \text{[slow]} \]\[ \text{NO}_3(\text{g}) + \text{CO}(\text{g}) \rightarrow \text{NO}_2(\text{g}) + \text{CO}_2(\text{g}) \quad \text{[fast]} \]**Question:** Is this proposed mechanism consistent with the experimentally determined rate law? Explain.#### d. Identifying the Reaction Intermediate**Question:** What is the reaction intermediate in the proposed mechanism?---### Explanation**Section c:** The proposed mechanism comprises two steps: the first step is slow, involving the reaction of two nitrogen dioxide \((\text{NO}_2)\) molecules to form nitrogen trioxide \((\text{NO}_3})\) and nitrogen monoxide \((\text{NO})\). The second, faster step involves the reaction of \(\text{NO}_3\) with carbon monoxide \((\text{CO})\) to produce \(\text{NO}_2}\) and carbon dioxide \((\text{CO}_2})\).To determine consistency with the experimentally determined rate law, one needs to:- Derive the rate law from the slow step (since it is the rate-determining step).- Compare this derived rate law with the experimentally determined rate law to check for consistency.**Section d:** The reaction intermediate is a molecule that is produced in one step of the reaction mechanism and consumed in a subsequent step. In this proposed mechanism, \(\text{NO}_3}\) is produced in the first step and consumed in the second step, thus it is the reaction intermediate.---Understanding and analyzing the proposed mechanism helps in verifying its consistency with the experimental observations and further elucidates the steps involved in the chemical reaction.

The acid-catalyzed iodination of acetone CH3COCH3(aq) + I2(aq) CH3COCH2I(aq) + HI(aq) is a common laboratory experiment used in general chemistry courses to teach the method of initial rates. The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by the disappearance of the color of iodine in the solution. The following data (J. P. Birk and D. L Walters, Journal of Chemical Education, Vol. 69, p. 585, 1992) were collected at 23 C for this reaction. Determine the rate law for this reaction.
The initial rate for a reaction is equal to the slope of the tangent line at t 0 in a plot of [A] versus time. From calculus, initial rate = d[A]dt . Therefore. the differential rate law for a reaction is Rate = d[A]dt=k[A]n. Assuming you have some calculus in your background, derive the zero-, first-, and second-order integrated rate laws using the differential rate law.
You are studying the kinetics of the reaction H2(g) + F2(g) 2HF(g) and you wish to determine a mechanism for the reaction. You run the reaction twice by keeping one reactant at a much higher pressure than the other reactant (this lower-pressure reactant begins at 1.000 atm). Unfortunately, you neglect to record which reactant was at the higher pressure, and you forget which it was later. Your data for the first experiment are: Pressure of HF (atm) Time(min) 0 0 0.300 30.0 0.600 65.8 0.900 110.4 1.200 169.1 1.500 255.9 When you ran the second experiment (in which the higher pressure reactant was run at a much higher pressure), you determine the values of the apparent rate constants to be the same. It also turns out that you find data taken from another person in the lab. This individual found that the reaction proceeds 40.0 times faster at 55C than at 35C. You also know, from the energy-level diagram, that there are three steps to the mechanism, and the first step has the highest activation energy. You look up the bond energies of the species involved and they are (in kJ/mol): H8H (432), F8F (154), and H8F (565). a. Sketch an energy-level diagram (qualitative) that is consistent with the one described previously. Hint: See Exercise 106. b. Develop a reasonable mechanism for the reaction. c.

Regular ?ights of supersonic aircraft in the stratosphere ale of concern because such aircraft produce nitric oxide, NO, as a byproduct in the exhaust of their engines. Nitric oxide reacts with ozone, and it has been suggested that this could contribute to depletion of the ozone layer.

Some bacteria are resistant to the antibiotic penicillin because they produce penicillinase, an enzyme with a molecular weight of 3104 g/mol that converts penicillin into inactive molecules. Although the kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions can be complex, at low concentrations this reaction can be described by a rate equation that is first order in the catalyst (penicillinase) and that also involves the concentration of penicillin. From the following data: 1.0 L of a solution containing 0.15 g ( 0.15106 g) of penicillinase, determine the order of the reaction with respect to penicillin and the value of the rate constant.
