1. In the equation S8 + 12 O2 + 8 SO3, what would be the activated complex?

Ch4 and ph3 are both covalent since they are composed both of non-metals.    ch4 is non- polar because of  london forces and has a geometry of tetrahedral  ph3 , on the other hand, is umbrella shaped polar and has dipole-dipole intermolecular force (imf) . since ph3 is polar, it has a stronger imf   

Rate law for this reaction israte of the reaction = k[a]²[b].second order in a  means concentration of a in power of two, and  first order in b means concentration of b in power of one.

The higher the temperature, the increased rate constant for a reaction.(positive linear association)
