Luster is the correct answer.
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
2.809 L of H₂SO₄
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
Concept tested: Moles and Molarity
In this case we are give;
Mass of solid sodium hydroxide as 13.20 g
Molarity of H₂SO₄ as 0.235 M
We are required to determine the volume of H₂SO₄ required
<h3>First: We need to write the balanced equation for the reaction.</h3>
- The reaction between NaOH and H₂SO₄ is a neutralization reaction.
- The balanced equation for the reaction is;
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
<h3>Second: We calculate the umber of moles of NaOH used </h3>
- Number of moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass
- Molar mass of NaOH is 40.0 g/mol
Moles of NaOH = 13.20 g ÷ 40.0 g/mol
= 0.33 moles
<h3>Third: Determine the number of moles of the acid, H₂SO₄</h3>
- From the equation, 2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of H₂SO₄
- Therefore, the mole ratio of NaOH: H₂SO₄ is 2 : 1.
- Thus, Moles of H₂SO₄ = moles of NaOH × 2
= 0.33 moles × 2
= 0.66 moles of H₂SO₄
<h3>Fourth: Determine the Volume of the acid, H₂SO₄ used</h3>
- When given the molarity of an acid and the number of moles we can calculate the volume of the acid.
- That is; Volume = Number of moles ÷ Molarity
In this case;
Volume of the acid = 0.66 moles ÷ 0.235 M
= 2.809 L
Therefore, the volume of the acid required to neutralize the base,NaOH is 2.809 L.
Rate law for the given 2nd order reaction is:
Rate = k[a]2
Given data:
rate constant k = 0.150 m-1s-1
initial concentration, [a] = 0.250 M
reaction time, t = 5.00 min = 5.00 min * 60 s/s = 300 s
To determine:
Concentration at time t = 300 s i.e. ![[a]_{t}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ba%5D_%7Bt%7D)
Calculations:
The second order rate equation is:
![1/[a]_{t} = kt +1/[a]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1%2F%5Ba%5D_%7Bt%7D%20%3D%20kt%20%2B1%2F%5Ba%5D)
substituting for k,t and [a] we get:
1/[a]t = 0.150 M-1s-1 * 300 s + 1/[0.250]M
1/[a]t = 49 M-1
[a]t = 1/49 M-1 = 0.0204 M
Hence the concentration of 'a' after t = 5min is 0.020 M
