Answer :  The unit for the rate constant in the rate law for the formation of ammonia is, M^{-2}min^{-1}

Explanation :

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3

Rate law expression for the reaction:

\text{Rate}=k[N_2]^a[H_2]^b

where,

a = order with respect to N_2

b = order with respect to H_2

Expression for rate law for first observation:

0.0021=k(0.10)^a(0.10)^b ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

0.0084=k(0.10)^a(0.20)^b ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

0.0672=k(0.20)^a(0.40)^b ....(3)

Dividing 2 by 1, we get:

\frac{0.0084}{0.0021}=\frac{k(0.10)^a(0.20)^b}{k(0.10)^a(0.10)^b}\\\\4=2^b\\b=2

Dividing 3 by 1 and also put value of b, we get:

\frac{0.0672}{0.0021}=\frac{k(0.20)^a(0.40)^2}{k(0.10)^a(0.10)^2}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1

Thus, the rate law becomes:

\text{Rate}=k[N_2]^a[H_2]^b

\text{Rate}=k[N_2]^1[H_2]^2

Now, calculating the value of 'k' by using any expression.

0.0021=k(0.10)^1(0.10)^2

k=2.1M^{-2}min^{-1}

The value of the rate constant 'k' for this reaction is 2.1M^{-2}min^{-1}

That means, the unit for the rate constant in the rate law for the formation of ammonia is, M^{-2}min^{-1}

How do scientists use radioactive decay to date fossils and artifacts
liubo4ka [24]

Answer: Absolute dating is used to determine a precise age of a rock or fossil through radiometric dating methods. This uses radioactive minerals that occur in rocks and fossils almost like a geological clock. ... These isotopes break down at a constant rate over time through radioactive decay.

How many moles of CO2 would be present in a gas sample of 10 L at 25.0oC and a pressure of .77 atm?
Step2247 [10]
Use PV=nRT to solve the equation. You need to solve for n (number of moles). Don’t forget to convert the temperature to kelvins by adding 25+273. Use 0.082057 for R.

How much power is used if a force of 54 newtons is used to pull a wagon a distance of 10 meters in 6 seconds? 3,240 W 90 W 32.4
timama [110]
Power is defined in a mathematical expression as P = F x v where F is in N and v is in m/s. From the given equation, the v = d/t which is v = 10/ 6, then substituting the answer to the power formula W = 54 N (10/6 m/s) = 90 Watts.
