What is the relation between concentration of reactants and the rate of chemical reaction?

1 answer:

4 0

Reaction rates can be increased if the concentration of reactants is raised. An increase in concentration produces more collisions. The chances of an effective collision goes up with the increase in concentration. The exact relationship between reaction rate and concentration depends on the reaction "mechanism".

Suppose the half-life is 9.0 s for a first order reaction and the reactant concentration is 0.0741 M 50.7 s after the reaction s

bazaltina [42]

<u>Answer:</u> The time taken by the reaction is 84.5 seconds

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half-life of the reaction = 9.0 s

k = rate constant = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{9}=0.077s^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$ ......(1)

where,

k = rate constant = $0.077s^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = 50.7 sec

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the reactant = ?

[A] = amount left after decay process = 0.0741 M

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.077=\frac{2.303}{50.7}\log\frac{[A_o]}{0.0741}$

$[A_o]=3.67M$

Now, calculating the time taken by using equation 1:

$[A]=0.0055M$

$k=0.077s^{-1}$

$[A_o]=3.67M$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.077=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{3.67}{0.0055}\\\\t=84.5s$

Hence, the time taken by the reaction is 84.5 seconds

Which three statements about gravity and the formation of the solar system

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

B. Gravity held the pieces of forming planets together.

c. Gravity pulled most of the matter into the center of the solar system

D. Gravity caused the planets and Sun to have spherical shapes.

Explanation:

When a collection of grains pulled together by their gravitational forces would keep in by the gravity of a star, it would eventually became bigger to the point a planet was formed.

The sun's strong gravitational force pulled most of the matter around it to the center of the solar system.

The spherical shape of planets is a result of their gravity pulling equally from all sides, shaping it into a sphere.

Which of the following elements is the least reactive metal? Sodium, Rubidium, Chlorine, and Magnesium.

LuckyWell [14K]

First off chlorine is not a metal so you can ignore that one.

Sodium and Rubidium are in group 1 of the periodic table and Magnesium is in group 2.

Group one metals are more reactive than group two because it is harder for the group two metals to lose their 2 valence (outer most) electrons.

As you go down group 1 there is an increase in the reactivity this is because as you go down there is an increase in the atomic radius which leads to more shielding. This weakens the electrostatic forces of attraction making it easier to lose the outermost electrons, therefore they are more reactive.

On a summer day, you take a road trip through Chelan, WA, in a Tesla Model S. You start out at a temperature of 19°C in the morn

ASHA 777 [7]

1. 1.636 moles

2. 271.06 kPa pressure

3. Tires will be burst

4. 235.91 kPa

Explanation:

Step 1:

PV = nRT, is the equation to be used where

P represents pressure

V represents volume

n represents moles of gas

R is constant

T represents temperature in Kelvin

n=RT/PV

It is given that the pressure is 245 kPa at initial temperature 19 C and tire volume is 16.2 L. Temperature must be converted to Kelvin, 19 C equals 292K.

n=PV/RT ->245*16.2/(8.31*292) = 1.636

Number of moles of Nitrogen in the tire = 1.636

Step 2:

We need to find the maximum tire pressure at 50 C (323K)

P = nRT/V

Substituting the values P = (1.636 * 8.31 * 323)/16.2 = 271.06 kPa

The tire pressure at 50 C will be 271.06 kPa

Step 3

We need to figure out if the tires would burst in Chelan when the temperature is 55 C. It is given that the maximum pressure the tires can withstand is 265 kPA, so any pressure above this will cause the tire to burst. In Step-2 we calculated that the pressure is 271.06 kPA at 50 C which is more than the maximum pressure the tire can withstand. The pressure would increase further with temperature and at 55 C the pressure will be more than 271.06 kPa. So the tires are likely to burst in Chelan.

Step 4:

We need to find the pressure of Nitrogen at 19 C before the start of the trip so that tires will not burst. The pressure at 55 C is 265 kPa. Let us find the number of moles at this temperature and pressure.

n= PV/RT -> n=265*16.2/(8.31*328) = 1.575

Now let us find the pressure at 19 C.

P = nRT/V -> 1.575*8.31*292/16.2 = 235.91 kPa

What type of effects do prostaglandins produce on smooth muscles? List two examples.

Naya [18.7K]

First, they may produce direct and relatively short-lived effects, such as stimulation of the isolated uterus or relaxation of the isolated tracheal chain preparation.

Secondly, in doses too low to produce a direct effect, they may produce a long-term potentiation of the effects of other stimulants.
