Answer:
(i) Calculate the average rate of consumption of A in the first 15 seconds of reaction: -8.67X10^(-3) M/s
(ii) Calculate the average rate of production of C in the first 15 seconds of reaction: 0.0.17 M/s
(iii) Calculate the average rate of consumption of A in the last 15 seconds of the reaction: -3x10^(-3) M/s
(iv) Explain the difference between the rates of consumption calculated in (i) and that in (iii): At the beginning the reaction, is fast, then, when time passes, the reaction slows because there are less concentration of the reactants to produce C, so the rate is less.
Explanation:
The general formula to calculate any reaction rate is:
With this formula we can make the calculations, and we can know if r is positive or negative by knowing if we are calculating for a reactant or a product, positive for products, negative for reactants.
(i)
(ii)
In this case we need to multiply delta by 2, because 1 mole of A produces 2 moles of C:
As we know it is a product, r needs to be positive, so we change the sign of the result and we have: 0.017 M/s
(iii)
(iv)
Is already answered in the upper part.
Roman numerals are used in naming ionic compounds when the metal cation forms more than one ion. The metals that form more than one ion are the transition metals, although not all of them do this.
SnBr2 - Tin(II) Bromide
Particles in a gas are always bumping against one another, it would be more accurate to compare it to a dance floor honestly
They have the same atomic number
