Answer:
Explanation:
The given equation is:
Based on the reaction stoichiometry:
2 moles of barium chloride (BaCl2) reacts with 2 moles of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to form 2 moles of barium sulfate (BaSO4) and 4 moles of HCl
Although the reaction is balanced, the correct convention is to depict reactions in terms of the lowest molar ratio. Therefore the coefficients (2,2,4 and 4) can be divided by 2 to give:
Answer:
a) First-order.
b) 0.013 min⁻¹
c) 53.3 min.
d) 0.0142M
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, on the attached document, we can notice the corresponding plot for each possible order of reaction. Thus, we should remember that in zeroth-order we plot the concentration of the reactant (SO2Cl2 ) versus the time, in first-order the natural logarithm of the concentration of the reactant (SO2Cl2 ) versus the time and in second-order reactions the inverse of the concentration of the reactant (SO2Cl2 ) versus the time.
a) In such a way, we realize the best fit is exhibited by the first-order model which shows a straight line (R=1) which has a slope of -0.0013 and an intercept of -2.3025 (natural logarithm of 0.1 which corresponds to the initial concentration). Therefore, the reaction has a first-order kinetics.
b) Since the slope is -0.0013 (take two random values), the rate constant is 0.013 min⁻¹:
c) Half life for first-order kinetics is computed by:
d) Here, we compute the concentration via the integrated rate law once 1500 minutes have passed:
Best regards.
