The half-life of the reaction is determined as 22.4 hr.

<h3>Half life of the reaction</h3>

The half life of the reaction is calculated as follows

rate of reaction, k = Δ[A]/3t = Δ[B]/2t

t = Δ[A]/3k = Δ[B]/2k

where;

k is rate constant = 0.0447/hr

t = (3)/(3 x 0.0447) = (2)/(2 x 0.0447) = 22.4 hr

Thus, the half-life of the reaction is determined as 22.4 hr.

If 35 ml of 6.0 m h2so4 was spilled, calculate the minimum mass of nahco3 that must be added to the spill to neutralize the acid

belka [17]

The balanced equation between the $H_2SO_4$ and $NaHCO_3$ is:

$H_2SO_4+2NaHCO_3\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2CO_2+2H_2O$

Formula of molarity is:

$Molarity = \frac{Moles of solute}{Volume of solution in Liters}$

$Molarity = 6.0 M, Volume = 35 mL = 0.035 L$

Substituting the values,

$6 = \frac{Moles of solute}{0.035}$

$Moles of solute = 0.035 L\times 6 mol/L = 0.21 mole$

So, number of moles of $H_2SO_4$ is $0.21 mole$ .

From the balanced equation it is clear that for 1 mole of $H_2SO_4$ , 2 moles of $NaHCO_3$ are required.

Hence, 0.21 mole of $H_2SO_4$ = $2\times 0.21 mole = 0.42 mole of NaHCO_3$

Molar mass of $NaHCO_3$ = $84.007 g/mol$

So, the mass of $NaHCO_3$ = $84.007 g/mol \times 0.42 mol = 35.283 g$

Consider the reaction 2CO(g) + O2(g)2CO2(g) Using standard thermodynamic data at 298K, calculate the entropy change for the surr

Marizza181 [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of $\Delta S^o$ for the surrounding when given amount of CO is reacted is 432.52 J/K

<u>Explanation:</u>

Entropy change is defined as the difference in entropy of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.

The equation used to calculate entropy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{(reactant)}]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2CO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)$

The equation for the entropy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta S^o_{(CO_2(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta S^o_{(O_2(g))})+(2\times \Delta S^o_{(CO(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta S^o_{(CO_2(g))}=213.74J/K.mol\\\Delta S^o_{(O_2)}=205.14J/K.mol\\\Delta S^o_{(CO)}=197.674J/K.mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(2\times (213.74))]-[(1\times (205.14))+(2\times (197.674))]\\\\\Delta S^o_{rxn}=-173.008J/K$

Entropy change of the surrounding = - (Entropy change of the system) = -(-173.008) J/K = 173.008 J/K

We are given:

Moles of CO gas reacted = 2.25 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

When 2 moles of CO is reacted, the entropy change of the surrounding will be 173.008 J/K

So, when 2.25 moles of CO is reacted, the entropy change of the surrounding will be = $\frac{173.008}{1}\times 2.25=432.52J/K$

Hence, the value of $\Delta S^o$ for the surrounding when given amount of CO is reacted is 432.52 J/K
