Determining the overall reaction and the molecularity of an elementary reaction : The following two - step mechanism hqas proposed for the gas-phase decomposition of nitrous oxide (N_(2)O) : Step 1: N_(2)O(g)rarrN_(2)(g)+O(g) Step 2: N_(2)O(g)+O(g)rarrN_(2)(g)+O_(2)(g) (i) Write the chemical equation for the overall reaction (ii) Identify any reaction intermediates (iii) What is the molecularity of each of the elementary reactions ? (iv) What is the molecularity of the overvall reaction Strategy : The step-by -step pathway by which a reaction occurs is called its mechanism. Some reactions takes place in a single step, but most reactions occur in a series of elementary steps. To identify intermediates and molecularity, look at the indicidual steps

Which of the following statements are applicable to a balanced chemical equation of an elementary reaction ?

The rate and mechamical reaction are studied in chemical kinetics. The elementary reactions are single step reaction having no mechanism. The order of reaction and molecularity are same for elementary reactions. The rate of forward reaction aA + bBrarr cC+dD is given as: rate =((dx)/(dt))=-1/a(d[A])/(dt)=-1/b(d[B])/(dt)=1/c(d[C])/(dt)=1/d(d[D])/(dt) or expression can be written as : rate =K_(1)[A]^(a)[B]^(b)-K_(2)[C]^(c )[D]^(d) . At equilibrium, rate = 0 . The constants K, K_(1), K_(2) are rate constants of respective reaction. In case of reactions governed by two or more steps reaction mechanism, the rate is given by the slowest step of mechanism. At the point of intersection of the two curve shown for the reaction: Ararr nB the concentration of B is given by:

The rate and mechamical reaction are studied in chemical kinetics. The elementary reactions are single step reaction having no mechanism. The order of reaction and molecularity are same for elementary reactions. The rate of forward reaction aA + bBrarr cC+dD is given as: rate =((dx)/(dt))=-1/a(d[A])/(dt)=-1/b(d[B])/(dt)=1/c(d[C])/(dt)=1/d(d[D])/(dt) or expression can be written as : rate =K_(1)[A]^(a)[B]^(b)-K_(2)[C]^(c )[D]^(d) . At equilibrium, rate = 0 . The constants K, K_(1), K_(2) are rate constants of respective reaction. In case of reactions governed by two or more steps reaction mechanism, the rate is given by the slowest step of mechanism. For a gaseous reaction, the rate is expressed in terms of (dP)/(dt) in place of (dC)/(dt) or (dn)/(dt) where C is concentration, n is number of moles and 'P' is pressure of reactant. The three are related as:

The rate of forward reaction aA + bBrarr cC+dD is given as: rate =((dx)/(dt))=-1/a(d[A])/(dt)=-1/b(d[B])/(dt)=1/c(d[C])/(dt)=1/d(d[D])/(dt) or expression can be written as : rate =K_(1)[A]^(a)[B]^(b)-K_(2)[C]^(c )[D]^(d) . At equilibrium, rate = 0 . The constants K, K_(1), K_(2) are rate constants of respective reaction. In case of reactions governed by two or more steps reaction mechanism, the rate is given by the slowest step of mechanism. For the reaction, aArarr bB , log[(-dA)/(dt)]=log[(dB)/(dt)]+0.6 , then a:b is:
