The rate constant for a reaction is 4.65 L mol-1s-1. What is the overall order of the reaction? zero

il63 [147K]

Answer:

second order

Explanation:

units of reaction and their order.

Zero order --> M^1 s^-1 = M/s

First order --> M^0 s^-1 = 1/s

Second order --> M^-1 s^-1 = L/mol s

In the question rate constant k = 4.65 L mol-1s-1. = 4.65 L/mol s

Hence, the reaction is a second order reaction

CH4 with pressure 1 atm and volume 10 liter at 27°C is passed into a reactor with 20% excess oxygen, how many moles of oxygen is

BaLLatris [955]

Answer : The moles of $O_2$ left in the products are 0.16 moles.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of $CH_4$ .

Using ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm

V = volume of gas = 10 L

T = temperature of gas = $27^oC=273+27=300K$

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

$(1atm)\times (10L)=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times (300K)$

$n=0.406mole$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $O_2$ .

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of $CH_4$ react with 2 moles of $O_2$

So, 0.406 mole of $CH_4$ react with $2\times 0.406=0.812$ moles of $O_2$

Now we have to calculate the excess moles of $O_2$ .

$O_2$ is 20 % excess. That means,

Excess moles of $O_2$ = $\frac{(100 + 20)}{100}$ × Required moles of $O_2$

Excess moles of $O_2$ = 1.2 × Required moles of $O_2$

Excess moles of $O_2$ = 1.2 × 0.812 = 0.97 mole

Now we have to calculate the moles of $O_2$ left in the products.

Moles of $O_2$ left in the products = Excess moles of $O_2$ - Required moles of $O_2$

Moles of $O_2$ left in the products = 0.97 - 0.812 = 0.16 mole

Therefore, the moles of $O_2$ left in the products are 0.16 moles.

During the first half of the 20th century, the theory of plate tectonics was developed. Evidence supporting this theory included

Makovka662 [10]

A) GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements

Explanation:

The most recent evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics is the use of GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements.

GPS denotes Global Positioning Systems.

Satellite imagery is a recent advancement in the study of moving plates.

The global positioning system uses the position of a system of satellites in space to delineate positions on earth.
It works on the principles of triangulation and this helps to fix positions of objects on the earth surface.
With this, the change in position of the plates can be recorded by known fixed positions of objects.
Satellite imagery helps to map changes in terrain with time.
Images can be correlated through time and the shift in terrains delineated.
