Using the idea that reactions occur as a result of collisions between particles, explain why reaction rates depend on the temper

ature of the reaction mixture.

Increasing temperatures in a reaction increases the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules. This causes them to move fast and hence collide with a higher frequency. The higher the rate of collision between the molecules, the faster the reaction.

Why calcium oxide and magnesium oxide used as soil treatment ​
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Chemically speaking, lime refers only to calcium oxide

(CaO); however, in common usage the term includes the calcination products of calcitic and dolomitic limestones. Calcitic (high-calcium) limes are produced by calcination of

calcareous materials (e.g., calcitic limestone, calcite,

oyster shells, and chalk) containing from 95 to 99 percent

calcium carbonate (CaCO^). Dolomitic limes are produced from

dolomitic limestone or dolomite which contains from 30 to ^+0

percent magnesium carbonate (MgCO^), the rest being calcium

carbonate.

At atmospheric pressure, calcite in limestone decomposes

at approximately 900°C to form CaO and COg. The decomposition of dolomite, CaMg is a two-stage process. At

temperatures between 650°C to 750°C dolomite decomposes to

form MgO, CO^ and CaCO^. It is necessary to raise the temperature to 900°C to decompose the CaCO^ (15, 35)» This

phenomenon is extremely important, as is shown later.

Various investigators have studied the effects of stone

size, temperature, and time of calcination of commercial

hram777 [196]
The mass decay rate is of the form
m(t) = m_{0} e^{-kt}
where
m₀ = 3000 g,the initial mass
k = the decay constant
t = time, years.

Because the half-life is 30 years, therefore
e^{-30k} =  \frac{1}{2} \\\ -30k = ln(0.5) \\ k =  \frac{ln(0.5)}{-30} =0.0231

After 60 years, the mass remaining is
m = 3000 e^{-0.0231*60} = 750 \, g

Answer: 750 g

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Ag+(aq)+Br−(aq)→AgBr(s)                                NEGATIVE

CaCO3(s)→CaO(s)+CO2(g)2                           POSITIVE

NH3(g)→N2(g)+3H2(g)                                    POSITIVE

2Na(s)+Cl2(g)→2NaCl(s)                                 NEGATIVE

C3H8(g)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g) +4H2O(g)           POSITIVE

I2(s)→I2(g)                                                        POSITIVE

Explanation:

We have to remember, to solve this problem, that the entropy of a gas is higher than that of a liquid which in turn  is higher than the solid. Therefore, comparing the reactants and products look for changes in the state of reactants and products. We also have to look for the increase or decrease of moles of each state based on the balanced chemical reaction.

Ag+(aq)+Br−(aq)→AgBr(s)

The reaction product is a single solid and the  the reactants were 2 species in solution. The change in entropy is negative.

CaCO3(s)→CaO(s)+CO2(g)2

Here we have a solid reactant and we have a solid product plus a gas product. The change in entropy is positive.

NH3(g)→N2(g)+3H2(g)

We have 4 mole gases as products starting from 1 mol reactant gas, the entropy has increased.

2Na(s)+Cl2(g)→2NaCl(s)

In this reaction 2 mol solid Na and 1 mol Cl₂ gas are converted into 2 mol solid NaCl, the entropy has decreased.

C3H8(g)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g) +4H2O(g)

The products are 7 mol of gas versus 6 mol of gas reactants and therefore entropy has increased.

I2(s)→I2(g)

1 mol solid I₂ goes into 1 mol gas making the change in  the entropy higher.
