• When a mechanism has been investigated in detail, it can be understood on many levels of differing detail. • An additional detail about addition of hydrogen halides to alkenes in non-polar solvents is that additional molecules of hydrogen halide assist the rate-determining proton transfer by hydrogen-bond solvation of the halide ion. • What kinetic order is HI (the value of "x" in the equation below) would HI addition to propene exhibit according to the mechanism above? The predicted kinetic order in HI is . (an integer)

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

 The kinetic order in HI is x=  2

Explanation:

Generally the slow step in a reaction mechanism is the rate determining step

  Now with this knowledge at the back of our minds we can see that  the number of moles of HI i s 2 which implies that the order of HI is 2m

So we can represent the rate law as

hence

x =  2

answer: the primary difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that b hypothesis is falsifiable, but a theory has been proven to be correct. theory is an explanation of something that is happening but hypothesis is a guess of something that can happen

explanation:

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
