Given the Following Proposed Mechanism,predict the Rate Law for the Overall

question 63

Multiple Choice

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

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

Sum of Squares for Regression

The sum of squares for regression quantifies the variation explained by the regression model, comparing the fitted values against the mean of the dependent variable.

SSR

Stands for Sum of Squares due to Regression, which measures the variation explained by the regression line in the context of statistical analysis.

Simple Linear Regression

A statistical method for examining the linear relationship between two quantitative variables; one variable is used to predict the outcome of another.

Probabilistic Model Equation

A mathematical representation of a statistical model that incorporates randomness and accounts for the probability of various outcomes.
