Explosions occur when the rate of reaction increases dramatically over a short period of time. There are several types of explosions such as autocatalytic explosions, thermal explosions and branched chain explosions. c. State two (2) ways to prevent the occurrence of radical chain explosion in chemical laboratory.

Write why is True if the statement conforms to the concept of rate law and also write why is False if it does not. 1. Rate law states that overall order of reaction can be determined by adding the reactionorders of the reactants.reactant concentration.3. All reactions proceed at the same rate.4. The balanced equation can be used to determine the rate of reaction.5. The slowly reactive or unreactive speciesin a reaction can be identified using rate law.
6. Heterogeneous catalysts that perform hydrogenation reaction, such as in the lecture, as subject to "poisoning", which shuts down their catalytic ability. Compounds of sulfur often act as "poisons". Explain why, on a particulate level, these sulfur atoms could shut down catalytic ability on a metallic surface.
Heterogeneous catalysts that perform hydrogenationreactions, as illustrated in Figure 14.23, are subject to“poisoning,” which shuts down their catalytic ability.Compounds of sulfur are often poisons. Suggest a mechanismby which such compounds might act as poisons.
What are all the main reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry?
free-radical reaction.
The reaction of the alkene, ethylene, with H2 produces ethane as a product. However, the reaction is incredibly slow in the absence of a catalyst, such as platinum metal. What is the role of the catalyst in speeding up the reaction? Raising the activation energy by breaking the bonds of hydrogen molecules. By bringing together the hydrogen atoms and alkene on the same metal surface, thereby lowering the activation energy. By decreasing the number of reactive inermediates. By increasing the equilibrium constant for the reaction.
Explain the difference. Show the reaction mechanism and explain why they do different things.
