Answer:

a. 113 min

Explanation:

Considering the equilibrium:-

                   2N₂O₅ ⇔ 4NO₂ + O₂

At t = 0        125 kPa

At t = teq     125 - 2x      4x        x

Thus, total pressure = 125 - 2x + 4x + x = 125 - 3x

125 - 3x = 176 kPa

x = 17 kPa

Remaining pressure of N₂O₅ = 125 - 2*17 kPa = 91 kPa

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

Given that:

The rate constant, k = 2.8\times 10^{-3} min⁻¹

Initial concentration [A_0] = 125 kPa

Final concentration [A_t] = 91 kPa

Time = ?

Applying in the above equation, we get that:-

91=125e^{-2.8\times 10^{-3}\times t}

125e^{-2.8\times \:10^{-3}t}=91

-2.8\times \:10^{-3}t=\ln \left(\frac{91}{125}\right)

t=113\ min

prohojiy [21]

Explanation:

A point of temperature at which both solid and liquid state of a substance remains in equilibrium without any change in temperature then this temperature is known as melting point.

For example, melting point of water is 0 ^{o}C. So, at this temperature solid state of water and liquid state are present in equilibrium with each other.

Therefore, when a 100 g of given pure metal in solid state is heated at its exact melting point which is 215^{o}C then some of the solid will change into liquid state but the temperature will remains the same.

Write a net ionic equation for the overall reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide and hydrosulfuric aci
Helga [31]

Answer:

2OH-(aq) + 2H+(aq) → 2H2O(l)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

sodium hydroxide = NaOH

hydrosulfuric acid = H2S

Step 2: The unbalanced equation

NaOH(aq) + H2S(aq) → Na2S(aq) + H2O(l)

Step 3: Balancing the equation

On the left side we have 1x Na (in NaOH), on the right side we have 2x Na (in Na2S). To balance the amount of Na on both sides, we have to multiply NaOH on the left side by 2.

2NaOH(aq) + H2S(aq) → Na2S(aq) + H2O(l)

On the left side we have 4x H (2x in NaOH and 2x in H2S), on the right side we have 2x H (in H2O). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply H2O on the right side by 2. Now the equation is balanced.

2NaOH(aq) + H2S(aq) → Na2S(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Step 4: The net ionic equation

2Na+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + 2H+(aq) + S^2-(aq) → 2Na+(aq) + S^2-(aq) + 2H2O(l)

The net ionic equation, for which spectator ions are omitted - remember that spectator ions are those ions located on both sides of the equation - will , after canceling those spectator ions in both side, look like this:

2OH-(aq) + 2H+(aq) → 2H2O(l)
