mechanism 1 overall reaction is 2NO + Cl2 --> 2NOCl NO + Cl2 = NOCl2 fast equilibriumNOCl2 + NO---> 2NOCl slow rate law for mechanism 1 is rate=k[no2]^2[cl2] mechanism 2 Cl2 --> 2Cl slowCl + NO --> NOCl fast rate law for this mechansim 2 is rate=k[cl2] i noticed that when the mechanism has a fast reaction at equilibrium, the rate law includes reactants form both fast and slow, whereas when the reaction has fast reactions not at equilibrium, the rate law is only the reactants from the slow step (rate determining step) why is the rate law different when the fast reaction is at equilibrium vs when the mechansim has a fast reaction not at equilibrium?
The reaction Cl2(g) + CHCl3(g) --> CCl4(g) + HCl(g) proceeds through the following mechanism: Cl2(g) --> 2 Cl(g)Cl(g) + CHCl3(g) --> HCl(g) + CCl3(g)Cl(g) + CCl3(g) --> CCl4(g) (a) The second step of this mechanism is rate-determining (slow). What is the rate law for this reaction? Rate = k [Cl2] [CHCl3]Rate = k [Cl2]2 [CHCl3] Rate = k [Cl2] [CHCl3]2Rate = k [Cl2]1/2 [CHCl3] Rate = k [Cl2] [CHCl3]1/2 Rate = k [Cl2]2 Rate = k [Cl2]2 [CHCl3]1/2 (b) What would the rate law be if the first step of this mechanism were rate-determining?

Give IUPAC for the following compound = Strategy: Remember the following rule; If the alkyl substituent has six or more than six carbons, the compound is named as phenyl-substituted alkane. If the alkyl substituent has less than six carbons, the hydrocarbon is named as an Alkyl-substituted benzenes. Then, select the longest carbon chain giving lowest possible numbers for its substituents. In this particular case, either side we get 2 and 5 numbers for the substutuents. Then how we select which way we should number? Now we need to think about the alphabet order, the substituents are methyl and phenyl, therefore methyl should have the lowest possible number as M comes first in the alphabet.
