SUMMARY

The discussion centers on understanding key concepts in AP Chemistry, specifically kinetics, equilibrium, and the environmental impact of acid rain. The user seeks clarification on the molecular basis for reaction rates influenced by reactant concentrations and temperature, as well as how to graph equilibrium states for the reaction between PCl3 and Cl2. Additionally, the user inquires about the formation of acid rain from burning coal containing sulfur. The conversation highlights the importance of foundational knowledge in these areas for successfully tackling exam questions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of chemical kinetics and reaction rates
  • Familiarity with chemical equilibrium concepts
  • Knowledge of acid-base chemistry and environmental chemistry
  • Ability to interpret and create concentration vs. time graphs
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the molecular basis of reaction rates in chemical kinetics
  • Learn how to construct and analyze equilibrium graphs for chemical reactions
  • Research the impact of sulfur compounds on acid rain formation
  • Review the rate laws and their applications in chemical reactions
USEFUL FOR

High school students preparing for the AP Chemistry exam, educators teaching chemistry concepts, and anyone interested in the environmental effects of chemical reactions.

i have a take home "test" that my teacher allows me to use other resources including my book.

i really didnt understand kinetics.
can you explain to me by answering these questions?

4)(c) Provide a molecular explanation for the dependence of the rate of the forward reaction on the concentrations of the reactants.

(d) Provide a molecular explanation for the dependence of the rate of the forward reaction on temperature.

** and i also don't understand how to do an equilibrium graph:

PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) <===> PCl5(g)

Suppose that 2 moles of PCl3 and 1 mol of Cl2 are mixed in a closed container at constant temperature. Draw a graph that shows how the concentrations of PCl3, Cl2, and PCl5 change with time until after equilibrium has been firmly established.

(b) give the initial rate law for the forward reaction.


we didnt even learn equilibrium yet.


AND one last question:

can you explain to me

(c) Burning coal containing a significant amount of sulfur leads to "acid rain."


i have to do this during break, and my breaks done.

so pleeeeeease help me.

thank you very much.

Pleeease read the Guidelines again (see my signature for link). We can't help you unless you show some effort first.

Does your textbook not have a chapter on kinetics and a chapter on equilibria?
