which of the following reactions would proceed at the fastest rate?

OpenStudy (photon336):

@Rushwr @Shikamaru11 @Shalante

OpenStudy (photon336):

A + B --> C Ea =100kJ D+E --> F + G Ea 150kj H --> I + J Ea = 250 kJ Impossible to tell

OpenStudy (shikamaru11):

these are endothermic reactions ain't that @Photon336

OpenStudy (photon336):

the question just gave like the activation energies

OpenStudy (shikamaru11):

oh the activation then it's A as it has the lowest activation energy :) @Photon336

OpenStudy (photon336):

|dw:1444364085730:dw|

OpenStudy (photon336):

@Rushwr correct

OpenStudy (photon336):

next one

OpenStudy (photon336):

We have this reaction \[Cl_{2} +H_{2}O \rightarrow HCL + HCLO\]

OpenStudy (shikamaru11):

so what we've to do with it :)

OpenStudy (photon336):

Cl_2 double arrow 2Cl* radical this step is fast Cl* + H2O --> HCL + *OH slow Cl* + *OH --> HCLO fast 1. which of the following are intermediates and why? Cl* radical *OH radical Cl* and *OH there is no intermediate

OpenStudy (photon336):

after this i'm going to close this and post another one

OpenStudy (shikamaru11):

you mean 2-step reaction

OpenStudy (photon336):

so the question is @Shikamaru11 what are the intermediates in this reaction

OpenStudy (shikamaru11):

well seems to be no intemediate here ??

OpenStudy (photon336):

an intermediate is something that's formed quickly and then disappears.

OpenStudy (photon336):

usually because it's unstable

OpenStudy (photon336):

sometimes it can be detected though

OpenStudy (photon336):

@rushwr @Shalante thoughts?

OpenStudy (shikamaru11):

so Cl* and OH* are intermediates then

OpenStudy (photon336):

@Shikamaru11 I think OH is definitely an intermediate

OpenStudy (photon336):

Guys they both are intermediates looked up the answer

OpenStudy (shikamaru11):

so my guess wasn't that bad @Photon336 :)

OpenStudy (shikamaru11):

hahaw just GOD's perfect :) @Rushwr

OpenStudy (photon336):

yeah, it think it's because they disappear and arent present in the final products or as side products.

OpenStudy (photon336):

i'm going to close this and open another one
