Alcohol is removed from the bloodstream by a series of metabolic reactions. The first reaction produces acetaldehyde; then other products are formed. The following data have been determined for the rate at which alcohol is removed from the blood of an average male, although individual rates can vary by 25-30%. Women metabolize alcohol a little more slowly than men: [CH,OH] (M) 4.4 x 10-2 3.3 x 10-2 2.2 x 10-2 Rate (mol/L/h) 2.0 x 10-2 2.0 × 10-2 2.0 x 10-2 Determine the rate equation, the rate constant, and the overall order for this reaction.
Indicate the scheme and detailed reaction mechanism of the reactions:
Some reactions proceed through a chain mechanism involving radicals, which are highly reactive species with one or more unpaired electrons. The radicals are produced in initiation steps, through either thermal or photodissociation. Reactions in which the radical centre is transferred are called propagation steps. The radicals are lost in termination steps. Consider the following chain mechanism:(1) AH → A + H·(2) A → B· + C(3) AH + B· → A + D(4) A + B· → P(a) Identify the initiation, propagation, and termination steps.(b) Use the steady-state approximation to deduce that the decompositionof AH is f irst-order in AH.
Hi, I need help with this question. Basically I need it dumbed down.
The first step in the heterogeneoushydrogenation of ethylene is adsorption of theethylene molecule on a metal surface. One proposed explanation for the “sticking” of ethylene to a metalsurface is the interaction of the electrons in the C—C π bond with vacant orbitals on the metal surface. (a) If thisnotion is correct, would ethane be expected to adsorb to a metal surface, and, if so, how strongly would ethane bindcompared to ethylene? (b) Based on its Lewis structure,would you expect ammonia to adsorb to a metal surfaceusing a similar explanation as for ethylene?

There are two molecules with the formula C3H§. Propene, CH;CH= CH2, is the monomer of the polymer polypropylene, which is used for indoor-outdoor carpets. Cyclopropane is used as an anesthetic: CH, CH2 CH, When heated to 499 °C, cyclopropane rearranges (isomerizes) and forms propene with a rate constant of 5.95 x 104s1. what is the half-life of this reaction? What fraction of the cyclopropane remains after 0.75 h at 499.5 °C?
The reaction of 1,3-butadiene with HCl produces two addition products. (See below) The relative amounts of the products that form is strongly temperature dependent. Here are the results: At 0oC, the following product composition is observed: product I (71%), product II (29%). At 42oC, the following product composition is observed: product I (15%), product II (85%). ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: Why does the addition product I predominate at the lower temperature (0oC)?
Many biochemical reactions are catalyzed by acids. A typical mechanism consistent with the experimental results (in which HA is the acid and X is the reactant) is Step 1: Fast, reversible HA = H+ + A- Step 2: Fast, reversible X + H+ = HX+ Step 3: Slow HX+ = productsWhich step controls the reaction rate?
