Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether a soap marked ‘biodegradable’ should to be bought or not and the reason behind this are to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Soap molecules have polar and non-polar sides, which help in the dissolution of non-polar molecules to the non-polar side and polar molecules to the polar side.

Soap molecules with straight chains are biodegradable.

Biodegradable soaps can be degraded back into soil.

k₁ Given the reaction R₂ R + R, indicate k-1 (A). the rate law with respect to R2: (B). the rate law with respect to R: d[R₂] dt d[R] dt
Given the reaction R+ Q → P, indicate (A). the rate law with respect to P: (B). the rate law with respect to R: (C). the rate law with respect to Q: d[P] dt d[R] dt d[Q] dt
The reaction for obtaining NO2 from NO and O2 has the rate equation: v = k[NO]2[O2]. Indicate which of the following options is correct.(A). This rate equation is inconsistent with the reaction consisting of a single trimolecular step.(B). Since the overall order is 3, the reaction must necessarily have some trimolecular step in its mechanism.(C). A two-step mechanism:  1) NO + NO ⇄ N2O2 (fast);   2) N2O2 + O2 → NO2 + NO2 (slow).(D). The mechanism must necessarily consist of three unimolecular elementary steps with very similar rate constants.
