Interpretation: The balanced chemical equation with Lewis dot structure of the given reaction is to be determined; also the reason for the hydroxyl radicals being more toxic on living system than hydroxide ions is to be determined.
Concept Introduction: The hydroxyl radical results in the formation of
The hydroxyl radical reacts with the molecules of living system to produce more radicals but the hydroxide ion is neutralized by the buffered cell environment.
To determine: The balanced

- Given a keto-enol tautomerization reaction, which is greatly influenced by the type of solvent, indicate which of the following solvent properties cannot be considered a "solvent effect"?(A) Dielectric constant(B) Polarity(C) Hydrogen bonding capacity(D) Temperaturearrow_forwardIn solution reactions, what does "solvent effect" mean?arrow_forwardHow to solvearrow_forward
- Indicate the concentration and ionic strength ranges to which the Debye-Huckel equation can be applied. And the Davies equation?arrow_forwardIf the ionic strength (I) of a solution is very low, the Debye-Huckel equation is used. If I is higher, the Davies equation is used. What is the correct value for I to use one or the other?arrow_forwardIn both the Debye-Huckel equation and the Davies equation, there is a constant A. I see that sometimes it appears as 0.51 and other times as 1.02. Explain why one or the other value is used.arrow_forward
- The two equations are forms of the Davies equation, used in thermodynamics for activity coefficients: ال log Y₁ = -Az² - 0,31 log = Az² - 0,31 1 + √Ĩ 1 + √√ k These equations are consistent and imply that Yi = Is this last equation correct? karrow_forwardThe two equations are forms of the Davies equation, used in thermodynamics for activity coefficients: ال log Y₁ = -Az² - 0,31 log = Az² - 0,31 1 + √Ĩ 1 + √√ k These equations are consistent and imply that Yi = Is this last equation correct? karrow_forwardFor the Davies equation, both expressions are correct: log Y₁ = -Az² √i - 0,31 1 + √ k log- = Az - 0,31 k 1 + √Ĩarrow_forward
- k In Davies' equation log y₁ = log- log y₁ = log | = -Az² + ✓// k A is a constant that always equals 1.02. Correct? - 0,31arrow_forwardIndicate whether the equality is true Yi How is it obtained? k%arrow_forwardIndicate the relationship between the activity coefficient YA and the rate constant of a bimolecular reaction in solution k and the rate constant at infinite dilution ko.arrow_forward
