Consider the following three-step representation of a reaction mechanism.
step 1: a + b --> ab (fast) and the rate = k[a][b]
step 2: ab + b --> ab2 (slow) and the rate = k[ab][b]
step 3: ab2 + b --> ab3 (fast) and the rate = k[ab2][b]
overall: a + 3b --> ab3 and the rate = k[a][b]2
which explains why the rate law for the overall equation is not the same as the rate equation for the rate-determining step?
a; the fastest step determines the overall rate law.
b: the overall rate law is determined from the balanced equation.
c: ab is an intermediate; therefore the rate law is determined from the reactants in the previous step.
d: b is an intermediate; therefore the rate law is determined from the reactants in the previous step.

100 grams of molten lead (600°c) is used to make musket balls. if the lead shot is allowed to cool to room temperature (21°c), what is the change in entropy (in j/k) of the lead? (for the specific heat of molten and solid lead use 1.29 j/g⋅°c; the latent heat of fusion and the melting point of lead are 2.45 × 104 j/kg and 327°c, respectively.)

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.
