Consider the overall reaction: 2 x2y + z2 ⇌ 2 x2yz which has an experimentally determined rate law of: rate= k[x2y][z2]. which of the following are possible mechanisms for the reaction? group of answer choices step 1: 2 x2y + z2 → 2x2yz (slow) step 1: x2y + z2 ⇌ x2yz + z (fast) step 2: x2y + z → x2yz (slow) step 1: x2y + z2→ x2yz2 (slow) step 2: x2yz2 + x2y → 2 x2yz (fast) step 1: 2 x2y ⇌ x4y2 (fast) step 2: x4y2 + z2 → 2 x2yz (slow) step 1: z2 → z + z (slow) step 2: x2y + z → x2yz (fast) step 3: x2y + z → x2yz (fast) none of the above

Answer : The correct possible mechanisms for the reaction is:

Step 1 :     (slow)

Step 2 :     (fast)

Explanation :

Rate law : It is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

As we are given the overall reaction,

The given expression of rate law for this reaction is,

Now we have to determine the possible mechanisms for the reaction.

The rate law expression for overall reaction should be in terms of and .

As we know that the slow step is the rate determining step.

Option 1 :

Step 1 :     (slow)

The expression of rate law for this reaction will be,

Option 2 :

Step 1 :     (fast)

Step 2 :     (slow)

The rate law from the slow step 2 is,

      .............(1)

Now applying steady state approximation for , we get:

     .........(2)

Now put equation 2 in 1, we get:

The rate law expression will be:

Option 3 :

Step 1 :     (slow)

Step 2 :     (fast)

The expression of rate law for this reaction will be,

Option 4 :

Step 1 :     (fast)

Step 2 :     (slow)

The rate law from the slow step 2 is,

      .............(1)

Now applying steady state approximation for , we get:

     .........(2)

Now put equation 2 in 1, we get:

The rate law expression will be:

Option 5 :

Step 1 :     (slow)

Step 2 :     (fast)

Step 3 :     (fast)

The rate law expression will be:

From the given options we conclude that the only option 3 is the correct possible mechanisms for the given reaction.

Hence, the correct possible mechanisms for the reaction is:

Step 1 :     (slow)

Step 2 :     (fast)

when—without warning—something provokes your anger, you may struggle not to succumb to it. since what typically makes you mad is feeling powerless in the face of what seems unfair, your anger is mostly an attempt at a “quick fix” to right the balance. it’s as though you’re raising a fist in protest, proclaiming that you’re not going to capitulate to such injustice.

there are, however, a multitude of problems related to this immediate, push-back reaction of anger. and probably the key one is that almost never does it resolve the issue that gave rise to it. such reactive anger is probably best understood as self-defeating. as david burns, the author of the seminal self- book feeling good, observes: if realistically, acting on your anger is to make any sense, it needs to meet two criteria—which, in almost every case, is frankly impossible. that is, your anger must:

be directed toward a person who has intentionally (and needlessly) behaved in a hurtful way toward you; and

be beneficial or advantageous to you (i.e., assist you in achieving a desired goal).

i think you’ll agree that only rarely can you claim that your anger is both warranted and , whether to yourself or the relationship.

so let me offer you a two-step alternative to abandoning your better judgment and giving in to the temptation of anger—one that should neutralize your anger in seconds. or, when you’re really angry, in minutes.

but keep in mind that you must really want to execute these steps, be sufficiently motivated to perform them. which means overcoming more unconscious resistance than you might ever have imagined. because there are many immediate “advantages” of anger that can interfere with your resolve, i’ll suggest a few of them that might interfere with your employing this powerful method to rid yourself of counter-productive anger.
