At a given temperature, the elementary reaction A − ⇀ ↽ − B , A↽−−⇀B, in the forward direction, is first order in A A with a rate constant of 0.0100 s − 1 . 0.0100 s−1. The reverse reaction is first order in B B and the rate constant is 0.0610 s − 1 . 0.0610 s−1. What is the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction A − ⇀ ↽ − B A↽−−⇀B at this temperature

The equilibrium constant for the reversible reaction = 0.0164

Explanation:

At equilibrium the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backwards reaction.

The reaction is given as

A ⇌ B

Rate of forward reaction is first order in [A] and the rate of backward reaction is also first order in [B]

The rate of forward reaction = |r₁| = k₁ [A]

The rate of backward reaction = |r₂| = k₂ [B]

(Taking only the magnitudes)

where k₁ and k₂ are the forward and backward rate constants respectively.

k₁ = 0.010 s⁻¹

k₂ = 0.0610 s⁻¹

|r₁| = 0.010 [A]

|r₂| = 0.016 [B]

At equilibrium, the rate of forward and backward reactions are equal

|r₁| = |r₂|

k₁ [A] = k₂ [B] (eqn 1)

Note that equilibrium constant, K, is given as

K = [B]/[A]

So, from eqn 1

k₁ [A] = k₂ [B]

[B]/[A] = (k₁/k₂) = (0.01/0.0610) = 0.0163934426 = 0.0164

K = [B]/[A] = (k₁/k₂) = 0.0164

Hope this Helps!!!

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.

hope this .
