The gas phase decomposition of sulfuryl chloride at 600 K SO2Cl2(g)SO2(g) + Cl2(g) is first order in SO2Cl2. During one experime

nt it was found that when the initial concentration of SO2Cl2 was 2.83×10-3 M, the concentration of SO2Cl2 dropped to 3.06×10-4 M after 559 min had passed. Based on this experiment, the rate constant for the reaction is min-1.

Answer: The rate constant for the reaction is 3.96\times 10^{-3}min^{-1}

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample = 559 min

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 2.83\times 10^{-3}

a - x = amount left after decay process  = 3.06\times 10^{-4}

559min=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{2.83\times 10^{-3}}{3.06\times 10^{-4}}

k=\frac{2.303}{559}\log\frac{2.83\times 10^{-3}}{3.06\times 10^{-4}}

k=3.96\times 10^{-3}min^{-1}

The rate constant for the reaction is 3.96\times 10^{-3}min^{-1}

barxatty [35]
Because the Potassium ion loses an electron, the electrons come a little closer to the nucleus because they are attracted to the protons. This makes the ion smaller in radius

Write ionic equations for the following:<br> HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) → KCl(aq) + H2O(l)
vodomira [7]

Answer:

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) ===> H2O(l) + KCl(aq)

Note the stoichiometry of the balanced equations shows us that HCl and KOH react in a 1:1 mole ratio. So, let us find moles of HCl and moles of KOH that are present:

moles HCl = 250.0 ml x 1 L/1000 ml x 0.25 mol/L = 0.06250 moles HCl

moles KOH = 200.0 ml x 1 L/1000 ml x 0.40 mol/L = 0.0800 moles KOH

You can see that there are more moles of KOH than there are of HCl, meaning that KOH is in excess and after neutralizing all of the HCl, the solution will be left with excess KOH making the pH > 7 = BASIC

An atom has 5 electrons in its outer shell. how many unpaired electrons does it have?
lions [1.4K]

The answer is 3.

That is if an atom has 5 electrons in its outer shell, then it has 3 unpaired electrons.

As the outer shell have 1 s orbital too and that is fully filled and not available for bonding so it must have 3 unpaired electrons.

So the number of unpaired electrons in an atom that is having 5 electrons in its outer shell is 3.
