Consider the following multistep reaction: a b→ab(slow) a ab→a2b(fast)−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− 2a b→a2b(overall) based on this mechanism, determine the rate law for the overall reaction. express your answer in standard masteringchemistry format. for example, if the rate law is k[a]3[b]2 type k*[a]^3*[b]^2

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.

The solubility of barium nitrate is 9.02 g/100 g h2o at 20°c. a 15.2 g sample of barium nitrate is added to 200.0 g of water at 20°c. is the solution saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated? a. unsaturated b. saturated c. supersaturated
