Consider the following reaction between mercury(II) chloride and oxalate ion.

Alina [70]

Answer: The rate law of the reaction is $\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2][C_2O_4^{2-}]^2$

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:

$2 HgCl_2(aq.)+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Cl^-(aq.)+2CO_2(g)+Hg_2Cl_2(s)$

Rate law expression for the reaction:

$\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^a[C_2O_4^{2-}]^b$

where,

a = order with respect to $HgCl_2$

b = order with respect to $C_2O_4^{2-}$

Expression for rate law for first observation:

$3.2\times 10^{-5}=k(0.164)^a(0.15)^b$ ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

$2.9\times 10^{-4}=k(0.164)^a(0.45)^b$ ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

$1.4\times 10^{-4}=k(0.082)^a(0.45)^b$ ....(3)

Expression for rate law for fourth observation:

$4.8\times 10^{-5}=k(0.246)^a(0.15)^b$ ....(4)

Dividing 2 from 1, we get:

$\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{3.2\times 10^{-5}}=\frac{(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{(0.164)^a(0.15)^b}\\\\9=3^b\\b=2$

Dividing 2 from 3, we get:

$\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{1.4\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{(0.082)^a(0.45)^b}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1$

Thus, the rate law becomes:

$\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^1[C_2O_4^{2-}]^2$

What is the ph of a solution that has a poh of 11.24

galina1969 [7]

Always remember that pH + pOH = 14
Here, you have a pOH of 11.24, so you replace it in the equation, and u get:
pH + 11.24 = 14

Then, You move 11.24 to the other part. and moving from a part to another change the sign of the equation. And you get:
pH = 14 - 11.24 = 2.76

So, the pH of a solution that has a pOH of 11.24 is pH = 2.76

Hope this Helps :)

A rubber balloon was filled with helium at 25.0˚C and placed in a beaker of liquid nitrogen at -196.0˚C. The volume of the cold

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The volume of helium at 25.0 °C is 60.3 cm³.

Explanation:

In order to work with ideal gases we need to consider absolute temperatures (Kelvin). To convert Celsius to Kelvin we use the following expression:

K = °C + 273.15

The initial and final temperatures are:

T₁ = 25.0 + 273.15 = 298.2 K

T₂ = -196.0 + 273.15 = 77.2 K

The volume at 77.2 K is V₂ = 15.6 cm³. To calculate V₁ in isobaric conditions we can use Charle's Law.

$\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} =\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}} \\V_{1}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}} \times T_{1}=\frac{15.6cm^{3} }{77.2K} \times 298.2K=60.3cm^{3}$

The direction of electrical force is based on the fact that like charges will___each other.

NeTakaya

Answer:

repel

Explanation:

When it comes to electrical forces, "opposites charges attract" while "like charges repel."

There are primarily two types of charges: positive charge and negative charge. The forces they exert upon each other will depend on their charges. The positive charge has an attractive force to a negative charge. On the contrary, it has a repulsive force to the same positive charge. Thus, it will repel each other.

So this means that opposite charges will draw closer together while like charges will move apart from each other.
