Answer each of the following questions with increases, decreases, or does not change.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

a) increases

b) decreases

c) does not change

d) increases

Explanation:

The vapour pressure of a liquid is dependent on;

I) the magnitude of intermolecular forces

II) the temperature of the liquid

Hence, when any of these increases, the vapour pressure increases likewise.

Similarly, the boiling point of a liquid depends on the magnitude of intermolecular forces present because as intermolecular forces increases, more energy is required to break intermolecular bonds.

Lastly, increase in surface area of a liquid does not really affect it's vapour pressure.

For the reaction 2N2O5(g) <---> 4NO2(g) + O2(g), the following data were colected:
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

a) The reaction is first order, that is, order 1. Option C is correct.

b) The half life of the reaction is 23 minutes. Option B is correct

c) The initial rate of production of NO2 for this reaction is approximately = (3.7 × 10⁻⁴) M/min. Option has been cut off.

Explanation:

First of, we try to obtain the order of the reaction from the data provided.

t (minutes) [N2O5] (mol/L)

0 1.24x10-2

10 0.92x10-2

20 0.68x10-2

30 0.50x10-2

40 0.37x10-2

50 0.28x10-2

70 0.15x10-2

Using a trial and error mode, we try to obtain the order of the reaction. But let's define some terms.

C₀ = Initial concentration of the reactant

C = concentration of the reactant at any time.

k = rate constant

t = time since the reaction started

T(1/2) = half life

We Start from the first guess of zero order.

For a zero order reaction, the general equation is

C₀ - C = kt

k = (C₀ - C)/t

If the reaction is indeed a zero order reaction, the value of k we will obtain will be the same all through the set of data provided.

C₀ = 0.0124 M

At t = 10 minutes, C = 0.0092 M

k = (0.0124 - 0.0092)/10 = 0.00032 M/min

At t = 20 minutes, C = 0.0068 M

k = (0.0124 - 0.0068)/20 = 0.00028 M/min

At t = 30 minutes, C = 0.0050 M

k = (0.0124 - 0.005)/30 = 0.00024 M/min

It's evident the value of k isn't the same for the first 3 trials, hence, the reaction isn't a zero order reaction.

We try first order next, for first order reaction

In (C₀/C) = kt

k = [In (C₀/C)]/t

C₀ = 0.0124 M

At t = 10 minutes, C = 0.0092 M

k = [In (0.0124/0.0092)]/10 = 0.0298 /min

At t = 20 minutes, C = 0.0068 M

k = 0.030 /min

At t = 30 minutes, C = 0.0050 M

k = 0.0303

At t = 40 minutes

k = 0.0302 /min

At t = 50 minutes,

k = 0.0298 /min

At t = 60 minutes,

k = 0.031 /min

This shows that the reaction is indeed first order because all the answers obtained hover around the same value.

The rate constant to be taken will be the average of them all.

Average k = 0.0302 /min.

b) The half life of a first order reaction is related to the rate constant through this relation

T(1/2) = (In 2)/k

T(1/2) = (In 2)/0.0302

T(1/2) = 22.95 minutes = 23 minutes.

c) The initial rate of production of the product at the start of the reaction

Rate = kC (first order)

At the start of the reaction C = C₀ = 0.0124M and k = 0.0302 /min

Rate = 0.0302 × 0.0124 = 0.000374 M/min = (3.74 × 10⁻⁴) M/min

How is the oxidation state of a transition metal determined from the chemical formula ?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.

We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.

The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.

To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:

  • The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
  • The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to  the charge on the ion.

For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻

This would be:  2x + 7(-2) = -2

                          x = +6

We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.
