Does it matter if the order of the rates? For example if the first step rate is slow and the second step is fast does the slow step control the rate? What happens if the first step is fast and the second step is slow?

Amy Luu 2G

I am confused on step 2 of student B. The rate limiting reaction rate in step 2 is k 2 [Cl 2 (g)][O 2 (g)] 2 . Since O 2 (g) is an intermediate, we use K1 to replace it. However, I am confused since [O 2 (g)]=K1[ClO 2 ] 2 /[Cl 2 (g)]. How come when [O 2 (g)] in the rate law is replaced with that val...

Jk what i did was on the right track. Since the work function is the same as the threshold, I converted 150.6 kJ/mol to 1.506x10^5 J/mol. However, since the units are J/mol, I need to divide by Avogadro's constant, (6.022x10^23 electrons/mol) which would cancel out the moles and leave me with just J...

Hello, I'm also confused about this problem. Is the work function the same thing as the threshold energy? I approached this problem with this in mind and just converted 150.6 kJ/mol to 1.506x10^5 J which is incorrect. However, I am unsure why this is wrong

For question 27 on the module it asks us to calculate the energy per photon of ultraviolet radiation of frequency 3.00 x 10^15 Hz.
To solve this I used the equation E=hv to find the energy. I multiplied (6.626x10^-34 Js)(3.00x10^15 Hz) but I am unsure of how the units will cancel out to become J.
