question 68

Multiple Choice

Given the following proposed mechanism,predict the rate law for the overall reaction.
2NO₂ + Cl₂ → 2NO₂Cl (overall reaction)
Mechanism
NO₂ + Cl₂ → NO₂Cl + Cl slow
NO₂ + Cl → NO₂Cl fast

• A)Rate = k[NO₂][Cl₂]
• B)Rate = k[NO₂]²[Cl₂]
• C)Rate = k[NO₂][Cl]
• D)Rate = k[NO₂Cl][Cl]
• E)Rate = k[NO₂Cl]²

Third-Degree Burn

A severe burn characterized by the destruction of both the outer and underlying layers of skin, potentially affecting deeper tissues and causing significant scarring.

Spiral
