The rays of the sun strike the Earth less directly during winter in the Northern Hemisphere?

1 answer:

8 0

The sun's rays hit the Earth at a extreme angle, which causes the days to become shorter, so yes, the sun's rays do hit the Earth at a extreme angle.

Calculate the initial rate for the formation of C at 25 ∘C, if [A]=0.50M and [B]=0.075M.Express your answer to two significant f

N76 [4]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the initial rate for the formation of C at 25°C, if [A]=0.50 M and [B]=0.075 M. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.Consider the reaction

A + 2B ⇔ C

whose rate at 25°C was measured using three different sets of initial concentrations as listed in the following table:

The table is attached below as an image.

Answer: The initial rate for the formation of C at 25°C is $2.25\times 10^{-2}Ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$A+2B\rightleftharpoons C$

Rate law expression for the reaction:

$\text{Rate}=k[A]^a[B]^b$

where,

a = order with respect to A

b = order with respect to B

Expression for rate law for first trial:

$5.4\times 10^{-3}=k(0.30)^a(0.050)^b$ ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second trial:

$1.1\times 10^{-2}=k(0.30)^a(0.100)^b$ ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third trial:

$2.2\times 10^{-2}=k(0.50)^a(0.050)^b$ ....(3)

Dividing 2 by 1, we get:

$\frac{1.1\times 10^{-2}}{5.4\times 10^{-3}}=\frac{(0.30)^a(1.00)^b}{(0.30)^a(0.050)^b}\\\\2=2^b\\b=1$

Dividing 3 by 1, we get:

$\frac{2.2\times 10^{-2}}{5.4\times 10^{-3}}=\frac{(0.50)^a(0.050)^b}{(0.30)^a(0.050)^b}\\\\4.07=2^a\\a=2$

Thus, the rate law becomes:

$\text{Rate}=k[A]^2[B]^1$ ......(4)

Now, calculating the value of 'k' by using any expression.

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$5.4\times 10^{-3}=k[0.30]^2[0.050]^1\\\\k=1.2M^{-2}s^{-1}$

Calculating the initial rate of formation of C by using equation 4, we get:

$k=1.2M^{-2}s^{-1}$

[A] = 0.50 M

[B] = 0.075 M

Putting values in equation 4, we get:

$\text{Rate}=1.2\times (0.50)^2\times (0.075)^1\\\\\text{Rate}=2.25\times 10^{-2}Ms^{-1}$

Hence, the initial rate for the formation of C at 25°C is $2.25\times 10^{-2}Ms^{-1}$

5.6 g of solid CO2 is put in an empty sealed 4.00 L container at a temperature of

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

0.78 atm

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes:

Mass of CO2 = 5.6g

Volume (V) = 4L

Temperature (T) =300K

Pressure (P) =?

Step 2:

Determination of the number of mole of CO2.

This is illustrated below:

Mass of CO2 = 5.6g

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 12 + 32 = 44g/mol

Number of mole CO2 =?

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of CO2 = 5.6/44

Number of mole of CO2 = 0.127 mole

Step 3:

Determination of the pressure in the container.

The pressure in the container can be obtained by applying the ideal gas equation as follow:

PV = nRT

The gas constant (R) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

The number of mole (n) = 0.127 mole

P x 4 = 0.127 x 0.082 x 300

Divide both side by 4

P = (0.127 x 0.082 x 300) /4

P = 0.78 atm

Therefore, the pressure in the container is
