4 0

Water with high levels of calcium ions is referred to as hard water. While hard water has health benefits, this type of water has economic implications in the industry and households too.  In the industry, hard water can cause a breakdown of equipment such as boilers, over time. In the household, too much soap is used when washing with hard water than soft water. Therefore hard water requires to be softened before industrial use. Economically, this increases the cost of production.

Explain the scientific meaning and use of the word "transformation".
sladkih [1.3K]

Transformation in chemistry is scientifically used to explain the process of changing one compound to another in a chemical reaction.

<h3>What is transformation?</h3>

The word "transformation" has a very special significance in chemistry. We know that in English, to transform would simply imply to change from one form to another. This is not quite far from its meaning in the parlance of chemistry.

The word transformation is normally applied in the area of chemical reactions especially as it has to do with reaction with in organic chemistry. It has to do with the change from one molecule to another and this is of great importance in the discussion of synthetic chemistry.

As such, the word transformation in chemistry is scientifically used to explain the process of changing one compound to another in a chemical reaction.

When the concentration of A in the reaction A ..... B was changed from 1.20 M to 0.60 M, the half-life increased from 2.0 min to
Reika [66]

Answer:

2

0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}

Explanation:

Half-life

{t_{1/2}}A=2\ \text{min}

{t_{1/2}}B=4\ \text{min}

Concentration

{[A]_0}_A=1.2\ \text{M}

{[A]_0}_B=0.6\ \text{M}

We have the relation

t_{1/2}\propto \dfrac{1}{[A]_0^{n-1}}

So

\dfrac{{t_{1/2}}_A}{{t_{1/2}}_B}=\left(\dfrac{{[A]_0}_B}{{[A]_0}_A}\right)^{n-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{4}=\left(\dfrac{0.6}{1.2}\right)^{n-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{n-1}

Comparing the exponents we get

1=n-1\\\Rightarrow n=2

The order of the reaction is 2.

t_{1/2}=\dfrac{1}{k[A]_0^{n-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{t_{1/2}[A]_0^{n-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{2\times 1.2^{2-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}

The rate constant is 0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}
