Which of the following is necessary to increase the rate of a reaction?

1 answer:

6 0

Rate of Reaction ca be increased by applying following changes,

1) Increase in Temperature:
Increase in Temperature results in the increase of Kinetic Energy, Hence, velocity of reactants increases and rate of collisions increases. Thus, more reactants colloid with enough energy to change into products in given time.

2) Decrease in Activation Energy:
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by reactants to cross the energy barrier to convert into products. Hence, activation energy is decreased by using catalyst.

3) Concentration of Reactants:
The greater the concentration of reactants, greater is the number of reactants per volume. More reactants in less area increase the probability of collision. Hence, collisions increase and rate of reaction increases.

4) Increasing Surface Area of Reactant:
Greater the surface area greater is the rate of reaction.

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

2,7 m

Explanation:

You can solve this doing an energy balance:

$m*g*h-\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} =41,7[J]$

Solving this equation to get h:

$\frac{41,7- \frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} }{m*g}=h$

Replacing the values and solving brings to 2,7 m

We want to calculate the concentrations of all species in a 0.58 M Na 2 SO 3 (sodium sulfite) solution. The ionization constants

NeX [460]

Explanation:

Reaction equation is as follows.

$Na_{2}SO_{3}(s) \rightarrow 2Na^{+}(aq) + SO^{2-}_{3}(aq)$

Here, 1 mole of $Na_{2}SO_{3}$ produces 2 moles of cations.

$[Na^{+}] = 2[Na_{2}SO_{3}] = 2 \times 0.58$

= 1.16 M

$[SO^{2-}_{3}] = [Na_{2}SO_{3}]$ = 0.58 M

The sulphite anion will act as a base and react with $H_{2}O$ to form $HSO^{-}_{3}$ and $OH^{-}$ .

As, $K_{b} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{a_{2}}}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{6.3 \times 10^{-8}}$

= $1.59 \times 10^{-7}$

According to the ICE table for the given reaction,

$SO^{2-}_{3} + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons HSO^{-}_{3} + OH^{-}$

Initial: 0.58 0 0

Change: -x +x +x

Equilibrium: 0.58 - x x x

So,

$K_{b} = \frac{[HSO^{-}_{3}][OH^{-}]}{[SO^{2-}_{3}]}$

$1.59 \times 10^{-7} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.58 - x}$

$x^{2} = 1.59 \times 10^{-7} \times (0.58 - x)$

x = 0.0003 M

So, x = $[HSO^{-}_{3}] = [OH^{-}]$ = 0.0003 M

$[SO^{2-}_{3}]$ = 0.58 - 0.0003

= 0.579 M

Now, we will use $[HSO^{-}_{3}]$ = 0.0003 M

The reaction will be as follows.

$HSO^{2-}_{3} + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H_{2}SO_{3} + OH^{-}$

Initial: 0.0003

Equilibrium: 0.0003 - x x x

$K_{b} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.0003 - x}$

$K_{b} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{a_{1}}}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{1.4 \times 10^{-2}}$

= $7.14 \times 10^{-13}$

Therefore, $7.14 \times 10^{-13} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.0003 - x}$

As, x <<<< 0.0003. So, we can neglect x.

Therefore, $x^{2} = 7.14 \times 10^{-13} \times 0.0003$

= $0.00214 \times 10^{-13}$

x = $0.0146 \times 10^{-6}$

x = $[OH^{-}] = [H_{2}SO_{3}]$ = $1.46 \times 10^{-8}$

$[H^{+}] = \frac{10^{-14}}{[OH^{-}]}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{0.0003}$

= $3.33 \times 10^{-11}$ M

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of spectator ion is $3.33 \times 10^{-11}$ M.

What is the electronic configuration of the following atoms?

Nastasia [14]

Answer:The electron configuration of an atom shows the number of electrons in each sublevel in each energy level of the ground-state atom. To determine the electron configuration of a particular atom, start at the nucleus and add electrons one by one until the number of electrons equals the number of protons in the nucleus. Each added electron is assigned to the lowest-energy sublevel available. The first sublevel filled will be the 1s sublevel, then the 2s sublevel, the 2p sublevel, the 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, and so on. This order is difficult to remember and often hard to determine from energy-level diagrams such as Figure 5.8

A more convenient way to remember the order is to use Figure 5.9. The principal energy levels are listed in columns, starting at the left with the 1s level. To use this figure, read along the diagonal lines in the direction of the arrow. The order is summarized under the diagram

Acetic acid and water react to form hydronium cation and acetate anion, like this:

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The answer is "Greater than zero, and greater than the rate of the reverse reaction".

Explanation:

It applies a rate of reaction to the balance, a forward response dominates until it reaches a constant. This process is balanced before 52 mmol of the reactant $HC H_{3} \ CO_2$ , to which 3 is added. In balance, that rate of the forward reaction was its rate with forwarding reaction, both of which are higher than 0 as the response has achieved balance so that both species get a level greater than 0.

a solution with a transmittance of 0.44 is analyzed in a spectrophotometer with 6% stray light. calculate the absorbance reporte

IgorLugansk [536]

The absorbance reported by the defective instrument was 0.3933.

Absorbance A = - log₁₀ T

Tm = transmittance measured by spectrophotometer

Tm = 0.44

Absorbance reported in this equipment = -log₁₀ (0.44) = 0.35654

True absorbance can be calculated by true transmittance, Tm = T+S(α-T)

S = fraction of stray light = 6%= 6/100 = 0.06

α= 1, ideal case

T = true transmittance of the sample

Tm = T+S(α-T)

now, T= Tm-S/ 1-S = 0.44-0.06/ 1-0.06 = 0.404233

therefore, actual reading measured is A = -log₁₀ T = -log₁₀ (0.404233)

i.e; 0.3933
