Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of qelect for SnO at 298K is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Statistical thermodynamics is used to describe all possible configurations in a system at given physical quantities such as pressure, temperature and number of particles in the system. An important quantity in thermodynamics is partition function that is represented as,

qigiei/kT

Where,

gi represents the degeneracy.

i represents the energy of ith microstate.

k represents the Boltzmann constant with value 1.38×1023J/K.

T represents the temperature (K).

It is also called as canonical ensemble partition function.

Given a complex reaction with rate equation v = k1[A] + k2[A]2, what is the overall reaction order?
Please draw the structure in the box that is consistent with all the spectral data and alphabetically label all of the equivalent protons in the structure (Ha, Hb, Hc....) in order to assign all the proton NMR peaks. The integrations are computer generated and approximate the number of equivalent protons. Molecular formula: C13H1802 14 13 12 11 10 11 (ppm) Structure with assigned H peaks 2.08 3.13
CHEMICAL KINETICS. One of the approximation methods for solving the rate equation is the steady-state approximation method. Explain what it consists of.
