Story:Mr Krabs created a secret ingredient for a breath mint that he thinks will "cure" the bad breath people get from eating cr

abby patties. He had 50 customers (group A) ear a breath mint after they finish eating. The other 50 customers (group B) also recieved a breath mint after eating, however it was just a regular breath mint and did not have the secret ingredient. Both groups were told they were getting the breath mint that would cure their bad breath. two hours after eating the crabby patties 30 customers in Group A and 10 customers in Group B reported havibg better breath then they normally had after eating pattiex.
Question:Why do you think 10 people in Group B reported fresher breath?

They had fresher breathe because their breathe may have been bad before.

If 1.2 moles of ideal gas occupy a volume of 18.2 L at a pressure of 1.8 ATM what is the temperature of gas in degrees Celsius.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer: A 59.5 degree celcius

The equation that we will use to solve this problem is :

PV = nRT where:

P is the pressure of gas = 1.8 atm

V is the volume of gas = 18.2 liters

n is the number of moles of gas = 1.2 moles

R is the gas constant =  0.0821

T is the temperature required (calculated in kelvin)

Using these values to substitute in the equation, we find that:

(1.8)(18.2) = (1.2)(0.0821)(T)

T = 332.5 degree kelvin

The last step is to convert the degree kelvin into degree celcius:

T = 332.5 - 273 = 59.5 degree celcius

At noon on a clear day, sunlight reaches the earth\'s surface at Madison, Wisconsin, with an average power of approximately 8.00
Archy [21]
Energy transferred per second in given area:
8000 x 3.9 / 10000
Energy transferred = 3.12 J

Using Planck's equation:
E = nhc/λ
n = (3.12 x 510 x 10⁻⁹) / (3 x 10⁸ x 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴)
n = 8 x 10¹⁸ photons

(i) Based on the graph, determine the order of the decomposition reaction of cyclobutane at 1270 K. Justify your answer.
Leni [432]

Answer:

(c)(i) The order of the reaction based on the graph provided is first order.

(ii) 99% of the cyclobutane would have decomposed in 53.15 milliseconds.

d) Rate = K [Cl₂]

K = rate constant

The justification is presented in the Explanation provided below.

e) A catalyst is a substance that alters the rate of a reaction without participating or being used up in the reaction.

Cl₂ is one of the reactants in the reaction, hence, it participates actively and is used up in the process of the reaction, hence, it cannot be termed as a catalyst for the reaction.

So, this shows why the student's claim is false.

Explanation:

To investigate the order of a reaction, a method of trial and error is usually employed as the general equations for the amount of reactant left for various orders are known.

So, the behaviour of the plot of maybe the concentration of reactant with time, or the plot of the natural logarithm of the concentration of reactant with time.

The graph given is evidently an exponential function. It is a graph of the concentration of cyclobutane declining exponentially with time. This aligns with the gemeral expression of the concentration of reactants for a first order reaction.

C(t) = C₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

where C(t) = concentration of the reactant at any time

C₀ = Initial concentration of cyclobutane = 1.60 mol/L

k = rate constant

The rate constant for a first order reaction is given

k = (In 2)/T

where T = half life of the reaction. It is the time taken for the concentration of the reactant to fall to half of its initial concentration.

From the graph, when the concentration of reactant reaches half of its initial concentration, that is, when C(t) = 0.80 mol/L, time = 8.0 milliseconds = 0.008 s

k = (In 2)/0.008 = (0.693/0.008) = 86.64 /s

(ii) Calculate the time, in milliseconds, that it would take for 99 percent of the original cyclobutane at 1270 K to decompose

C(t) = C₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

when 99% of the cyclobutane has decomposed, there's only 1% left

C(t) = 0.01C₀

k = 86.64 /s

t = ?

0.01C₀ = C₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

e⁻ᵏᵗ = 0.01

In e⁻ᵏᵗ = In 0.01 = -4.605

-kt = -4.605

t = (4.605/k) = (4.605/86.64) = 0.05315 s = 53.15 milliseconds.

d) The reaction mechanism for the reaction of cyclopentane and chlorine gas is given as

Cl₂ → 2Cl (slow)

Cl + C₅H₁₀ → HCl + C₅H₉ (fast)

C₅H₉ + Cl → C₅H₉Cl (fast)

The rate law for a reaction is obtained from the slow step amongst the the elementary reactions or reaction mechanism for the reaction. After writing the rate law from the slow step, any intermediates that appear in the rate law is then substituted for, using the other reaction steps.

For This reaction, the slow step is the first elementary reaction where Chlorine gas dissociates into 2 Chlorine atoms. Hence, the rate law is

Rate = K [Cl₂]

K = rate constant

Since, no intermediates appear in this rate law, no further simplification is necessary.

The obtained rate law indicates that the reaction is first order with respect to the concentration of the Chlorine gas and zero order with respect to cyclopentane.

e) A catalyst is a substance that alters the rate of a reaction without participating or being used up in the reaction.

Cl₂ is one of the reactants in the reaction, hence, it participates actively and is used up in the process of the reaction, hence, it cannot be termed as a catalyst for the reaction.

So, this shows why the student's claim is false.

Hope this Helps!!!

Which term best describes the role of hydrogen gas in the formation of a water molecule?
Alex Ar [27]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. The term that would best describe the <span>role of hydrogen gas in the formation of a water molecule would be a reactant. Water has a formula of H2O where it contains water so it should be  that hydrogen is a reactant. </span>
