Answer:

The rate constant of the reaction at 125˚ is 0.3115 \ \text{sec}^{-1}.

Explanation:

The Arrhenius equation is a simple equation that describes the dependent relationship between temperature and the rate constant of a chemical reaction. The Arrhenius equation is written mathematically as

                                                  k \ = \ Ae^{\displaystyle\frac{-E_{a}}{RT}}

                                               \ln k \ = \ \ln A \ - \ \displaystyle\frac{E_{a}}{RT}

where k is the rate constant, E_{a} represents the activation energy of the chemical reaction, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, and A is the frequency factor.

The frequency factor, A, is a constant that is derived experimentally and numerically that describes the frequency of molecular collisions and their orientation which varies slightly with temperature but this can be assumed to be constant across a small range of temperatures.

Consider that the rate constant be k_{1} at an initial temperature T_{1} and the rate constant k_{2} at a final temperature T_{2}, thus

                         \ln k_{2} \ - \ \ln k_{1} = \ \ln A \ - \ \displaystyle\frac{E_{a}}{RT_{2}} \ - \ \left(\ln A \ - \ \displaystyle\frac{E_{a}}{RT_{1}}\right) \\ \\ \\ \rule{0.62cm}{0cm} \ln \left(\displaystyle\frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}\right) \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{E_{a}}{R}\left(\displaystyle\frac{1}{T_{1}} \ - \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{T_{2}} \right)

                                         \rule{1.62cm}{0cm} \displaystyle\frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}} \ = \ e^{\displaystyle\frac{E_{a}}{R}\left(\displaystyle\frac{1}{T_{1}} \ - \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{T_{2}} \right)} \\ \\ \\ \rule{1.62cm}{0cm} k_{2} \ = \ k_{1}e^{\displaystyle\frac{E_{a}}{R}\left(\displaystyle\frac{1}{T_{1}} \ - \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{T_{2}} \right)}

Given that E_{a} \ = \ 26.5 \ \ \text{kJ/mol}, R \ = \ 8.3145 \ \ \text{J mol}^{-1} \ \text{K}^{-1}, T_{1} \ = \ \left(40 \ + \ 273\right) \ K, T_{2} \ = \ \left(125 \ + \ 273\right) \ K, and k_{1} \ = \ 0.0354 \ \ \text{sec}^{-1}, therefore,

           k_{2} \ = \ \left(0.0354 \ \ \text{sec}^{-1}\right)e^{\displaystyle\frac{26500 \ \text{J mol}^{-1}}{8.3145 \ \text{J mol}^{-1} \ \text{K}^{-1}}\left(\displaystyle\frac{1}{313 \ \text{K}} \ - \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{398 \ \text{K}} \right)} \\ \\ \\ k_{2} \ = \ 0.3115 \ \ \text{sec}^{-1}

Gravitational potential energy is a function of the _____ and the ________ of an object.
babymother [125]

Answer:

B = mass, height

Gravitational potential energy is a function of the mass ans the height of an object.

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is

GPE = mgh

m = mass in kilogram

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height in meter above the ground

Formula:

GP.E = mgh

Consider the following example:

A crane lifts a 75kg mass a height of 8 m. Calculate the gravitational potential energy  gained by the mass:

Formula:

GP.E = mgh

Now we will put the values in formula.

g = 9.8 m/s²

GP.E = 75 Kg × 9.8 m/s²× 8 m

GP.E = 5880 Kg.m²/s²

Kg.m²/s² = j

GP.E = 5880 j

A researcher wants to determine if a unicellular organism he discovered is an autotroph or a heterotroph. He radioactively label
GaryK [48]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Autotrophs utilize the energy from  sunlight to reduce carbon dioxide to carbohydrates (glucose). The energy from the sunlight is used to split water into H+ and O2- and the H+ used in the reduction process. The labeled carbon in the carbon dioxide will, therefore, be incorporated by the autotrophs in the carbohydrates made in photosynthesis.

The half life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5.73 x 10 years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon-14
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Age of the atifact is 4.2\times 10^{2} years

Explanation:

  • For first -order radioactive decay- A_{t}=A_{0}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}
  • A_{t} represents activity of radioactive nuclide after t time, A_{0} represents initial activity of radioactive nuclide and t_{\frac{1}{2}} represents half-life
  • Here, A_{t}=19Bq, A_{0}=20Bq and t_{\frac{1}{2}}=5.73\times 10^{3}years

Plug-in all the given values in the above equation-

19=20\times (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{5.73\times 10^{3}}}

or, t=4.2\times 10^{2}

So, age of the atifact is 4.2\times 10^{2} years
