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}

Which process is an example of a chemical change?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

A is the closest thing. You change the composition of the steak. You don't in any of the others.

Explanation:

Usually when you cook something, you are doing something to the composition of the object being cooked. A steak might not be obvious, but boiling an egg should be.

Chopping a tree is something physical. You are removing mass in such a way that the tree will fall. There's nothing chemical about that.

Heating a cup of tea looks like it might be chemical. After all steam is sometimes given off which looks like it is chemical. It's not. The water in the tea is just changing phase.

Drying clothes in a dryer. Again, this looks like something might have changed. After all the mass of the clothes just became less. But all you are doing is separating two masses (leaving one of them behind).

If 120.3 mL of water is shaken with oxygen gas at 2.1 atm, it will dissolve 0.0043 g O2. Estimate the Henry's law constant for t
nikklg [1K]

<u>Answer:</u> The Henry's law constant for oxygen gas in water is 1.702\times 10^{-5}g/mL.atm

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

C_{O_2}=K_H\times p_{O_2}

where,

K_H = Henry's constant = ?

C_{O_2} = solubility of oxygen gas = 0.0043g/120.3mL

p_{O_2 = partial pressure of oxygen gas = 2.1 atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0043g/120.3mL=K_H\times 2.1atm\\\\K_H=\frac{0.0043g}{120.3mL\times 2.1atm}=1.702\times 10^{-5}g/mL.atm

Hence, the Henry's law constant for oxygen gas in water is 1.702\times 10^{-5}g/mL.atm

Which list ranks the gasses in the correct order from the
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

D. chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen.

Explanation:

  • Thomas Graham found that, at a constant  temperature and pressure the rates of effusion  of various gases are inversely proportional to  the square root of their masses.

<em>ν ∝ 1/√M</em>

where ν is the rate of effusion and M is the atomic  or molecular mass of the gas particles.

  • The molecular mass for the listed gases are:

O₂: 32.0 g/mol,

Cl₂: 70.906 g/mol,

N₂: 28.0 g/mol,

H₂: 2.0 g/mol.

  • Hence, the smallest molecular mass of the gas, the fastest rate of effusion.

So, the order from the slowest to the fastest rate of effusion is:

<em>Chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen.</em>

Which law relates to the ideal gas law?
professor190 [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The law that related the ideal gas law is \frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 4 laws of gases:

  • <u>Boyle's Law:</u> This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.  

Mathematically,

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

  • <u>Charles' Law:</u> This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

  • <u>Gay-Lussac Law:</u> This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

  • <u>Avogadro's Law:</u> This law states that volume is directly proportional to number of moles at constant temperature and pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}

Hence, the law that related the ideal gas law is \frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}

What is the mass of 4.56 moles of copper (ii) fluoride​
musickatia [10]

Answer:

463.0 g.

Explanation:

  • We can use the following relation:

<em>n = mass/molar mass.</em>

where, n is the mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ (m = 4.56 mol),

mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ = ??? g.

molar mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ = 101.543 g/mol.

∴ mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ = (n)(molar mass) = (4.56 mol)(101.543 g/mol) = 463.0 g.
