Which action will slow down the rate of a reaction

Chemistry

Burka [1]3 years ago

Answer is - Decreasing surface area of a solid reactant, rate of reaction can be slowed down.

Explanation: The quantity of a reactant species consumed or the quantity of product species formed in unit time in a chemical reaction is called rate of reaction. With passage of time, concentration of reactant decreases and concentration of product increases. Rate of reaction depends on various factors like- concentration of reactant, temperature, nature of reactant, catalyst and surface area of reactant.

By increasing the concentration of the reactants, rate of the reaction increases.

Presence of catalyst increases the rate of reaction.

With increase in temperature, kinetic energy of molecules increases which results to more number of effective collisions, so, rate of reaction increases.

With increase in the surface area of reactant, more number of molecules can react at a time and by decreasing the surface area of solid reactant rate of the reaction will diminish/ decrease.

000333 g fluorescein (332.32 g/mol) is dissolved in 225 ml solution of ethanol. the density of ethanol is 0.785 g/ml. what is th

andrey2020 [161]

1) Molarity

M = n / V
n: number of moles of solute
V: volume of the solution in liters

n = mass / molar mass = 0.000333 g / 332.32 g / mol = 1*10 ^ - 6 moles

V = 225 ml * 1 liter / 1000 ml = 0.225 liter

M = 10^-6 mol / 0.225 liter = 0.00000444 M

2) ppm

ppm = parts per million

grams of solute: 0.000333 g

grams of solution = volume * density = 225 ml * 0.785 g / ml = 176.625 g

ppm = [0.00033 g / 176.625 g] * 1,000,000 = 1.868 ppm

What happens if you choose the wrong solvent while setting up your NMR experiment?

MissTica

Answer:

Please see the answer..hope its works

Explanation:

The NMR spectrometer will acquire data for the wrong chemical shift range and you will potentially have skewed data when opening spinworks-NMR spectrometer examines a specific 12 ppm range based on the expected solvent peak, and if a different solvent is used a different range may be examined

To explain further, If the user declares the wrong solvent, one of two things may happen. Firstly, the spectrometer may not be able to establish a deuterium lock and will report an error and not run the sample. Secondly, the spectrometer may be able to establish a lock despite the fact that the deuterium signal is off resonance. If the lock is established, the field strength will be set to a value appropriate to put the declared solvent signal on-resonance. When a proton NMR spectrum is collected, the chemical shift scale will be incorrect by an amount equal to the proton chemical shift difference between the true solvent and the declared solvent.

A steel block has a volume of 0.08 m³ and a density of 7,840 kg/m³. What is the force of gravity acting on the block (the weight

Rama09 [41]

Correct Answer: Option a. 6150.64 N

Weight (w) is defined as:

w = mg

So, first we need to find the mass (m) of the steel block using its volume and density.

Mass = Density x Volume
So,
m = 0.08 x 7840 = 627.2 g

Using value of m and g = 9.807, we get

w = 627.2 x 9.807 = 6150.95 Newtons

Therefore, option a is the correct answer.
The slight difference is because the value of g is rounded of to 3 decimal cases.

A particular oral contraceptive contains 0.038 mg of ethinyl estradiol in each pill. The formula of this compound is C20H24O2. H

Ray Of Light [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of molecules of ethinyl estradiol present in one pill are $7.71\times 10^{16}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of ethinyl estradiol = 0.038 mg = $3.8\times 10^-5}g$ (Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg)

Molar mass of ethinyl estradiol $(C_{20}H_{24}O_2)=[(20\times 12)+(24\times 1)+(2\times 16)]=296g/mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of ethinyl estradiol}=\frac{3.8\times 10^{-5}g}{296g/mol}=1.28\times 10^{-7}mol$

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules

So, $1.28\times 10^{-7}mol$ of ethinyl estradiol will contain = $(1.28\times 10^{-7}\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=7.71\times 10^{16}$ number of molecules

Hence, the number of molecules of ethinyl estradiol present in one pill are $7.71\times 10^{16}$
