The decomposition of HBr(g) into elemental species is found to have a rate constant of 4.2 ×10−3atm s−1. If 2.00 atm of HBr are

present initially, how many minutes must elapse to achieve complete conversion into elements (i.e. all HBr(g) is gone)? Assume a completely one-way reaction.

Answer:

7,94 minutes

Explanation:

If the descomposition of HBr(gr) into elemental species have a rate constant, then this reaction belongs to a zero-order reaction kinetics, where the r<em>eaction rate does not depend on the concentration of the reactants. </em>

For the zero-order reactions, concentration-time equation can be written as follows:

                                          [A] = - Kt + [Ao]

where:

  • [A]: concentration of the reactant A at the <em>t </em>time,
  • [A]o: initial concentration of the reactant A,
  • K: rate constant,
  • t: elapsed time of the reaction

<u>To solve the problem, we just replace our data in the concentration-time equation, and we clear the value of t.</u>

Data:

K = 4.2 ×10−3atm/s,  

[A]o=[HBr]o= 2 atm,  

[A]=[HBr]=0 atm (all HBr(g) is gone)

<em>We clear the incognita :</em>

[A] = - Kt + [Ao]............. Kt =  [Ao] - [A]

                                        t  = ([Ao] - [A])/K

<em>We replace the numerical values:</em>

t = (2 atm - 0 atm)/4.2 ×10−3atm/s = 476,19 s = 7,94 minutes

So, we need 7,94 minutes to achieve complete conversion into elements ([HBr]=0).

Predict the products when cyclohexanol is dehydrated.
lubasha [3.4K]
<span>When cyclohexanol is dehydrated using various means it creates a new hydrocarbon. This new hydrocarbon is called cyclohexene. Cyclohexene is a liquid which has no color, yet has a very strong smell to it. It is used in common industrial processes, but is also considered somewhat unstable due to it's tendency to form peroxides when exposed to light.</span>
