Interpretation:
To identify the labels in the given figure.
Concept introduction:
An activated complex is formed as a result of collision between two particles with a sufficient amount of energy required for the collision. When the colliding particles break their bonds to form new bonds with the atoms of the particles it has undergo collision, a temporary transition state is generated which is an activated complex.
Answer to Problem 72A
In figure 16.23, label 1 represents the reactants, label 2 represents the activated complex, label 3 represents intermediate step, label 4 represents activated complex., label 5 represents products and label 6 also represents the activated complex.
Explanation of Solution
From the figure,
Each step signifies a series of elementary reactions. The reaction begins with the reactants and proceeds through an intermediate to generate products.
Label 1 represents the reactants as it is located at the beginning of the reaction.
Label 2 represents an activated complex because it is located just after label 1.
Label 3 represents the intermediate step because the curve in this location is lower in energy than that of the activated complex.
The intermediate which is produced from the first elementary step used as reactants in the second elementary step. An activated complex is generated when the intermediates react.
This particular elementary step includes an activated complex with a higher energy than in the previous elementary step. Label 4 represents the activated complex.
The products are formed after the activated complex briefly occurs in the second elementary step. Label 5 represents the products. The products located in label 5 is lower in energy than that of the activated complex.
The intermediate that is produced from the second elementary step is used as a reactant in the third elementary step. These intermediates react to generate an activated complex. Label 6 represents the activated complex.
Label 1 represents reactants, label 2 represents activated complex, label 3 represents the intermediate step, label 4 represents the activated complex, label 5 represents the products and label 6 represents the activated complex

- An expression for the root mean square velocity, vrms, of a gas was derived. Using Maxwell’s velocity distribution, one can also calculate the mean velocity and the most probable velocity (mp) of a collection of molecules. The equations used for these two quantities are vmean=(8RT/πM)1/2 and vmp=(2RT/M)1/2 These values have a fixed relationship to each other.(a) Arrange these three quantities in order of increasing magnitude.(b) Show that the relative magnitudes are independent of the molar mass of the gas.(c) Use the smallest velocity as a reference for establishing the order of magnitude and determine the relationship between the larger and smaller values.arrow_forwardThe reaction of solid dimethylhydrazine, (CH3)2N2H2, and liquefied dinitrogen tetroxide, N2O4, has been investigated for use as rocket fuel. The reaction produces the gases carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and water vapor (H2O), which are ejected in the exhaust gases. In a controlled experiment, solid dimethylhydrazine was reacted with excess dinitrogen tetroxide, and the gases were collected in a closed balloon until a pressure of 2.50 atm and a temperature of 400.0 K were reached.(a) What are the partial pressures of CO2, N2, and H2O?(b) When the CO2 is removed by chemical reaction, what are the partial pressures of the remaining gases?arrow_forwardOne liter of chlorine gas at 1 atm and 298 K reacts completely with 1.00 L of nitrogen gas and 2.00 L of oxygen gas at the same temperature and pressure. A single gaseous product is formed, which fills a 2.00 L flask at 1.00 atm and 298 K. Use this information to determine the following characteristics of the product:(a) its empirical formula;(b) its molecular formula;(c) the most favorable Lewis formula based on formal charge arguments (the central atom is N);(d) the shape of the molecule.arrow_forward
