  1. Rationalize the following trend in rate constants (kobs) for the reaction below:

Pt(PX3)3Cl + pyridine → Pt(PX3)3(pyridine) + Cl-

X = phenyl, kobs = 0.08

X = o-tolyl, kobs = 0.0002

X = mesityl, kobs = 0.000001

Using the reaction mechanism given below write a rate expression for the reaction shown. Reaction: COCl2(g) + Cl2(g) → CO(g) + 2 Cl2 (g) Mechanism: Step 1 Cl2 (g) ↔ 2 Cl (g) fast Step 2 Cl (g) +COCl2 (g) → COCl (g) + Cl2 (g) slow Step 3 COCl (g) + Cl (g) ↔ CO (g) + Cl2 (g) fast rate = ? I think the rate should be k2 [Cl] [COCl2] but I'm not sure if that's right.

Consider the following reaction depicting the chlorination of dimethenamid (DM-H) by chlorine monoxide (Cl2O) to give chlorodimethenamid (DM-Cl) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl): DM-H + Cl2O à DM-Cl + HOCl The reaction is depicted as only proceeding in the forward direction (i.e., irreversibly) because the rate of the reverse reaction is negligibly small. The rate constant for the forward reaction (at 25 °C) is 1.37 x 106 M–1 s–1. In a solution initially containing 0.5 µM of DM-H under conditions representative...
