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

Glucose (C6H12O6) can be fermented to yield ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and carbon dioxide (CO2). C6H12O6⟶2CH3CH2OH+2CO2 The molar mass o
jekas [21]

Answer:

The % yield is 74.45 %

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> The balanced equation

C6H12O6⟶2CH3CH2OH+2CO2

<u>Step 2</u>: Data given

Molar mass glucose = 180.15 g/mol

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.08 g/mol

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

Mass of glucose = 61.5 grams

Mass of ethanol = 23.4 grams

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate moles of glucose

Moles glucose = Mass glucose  / Molar mass of glucose

Moles glucose = 61.5 grams / 180.15 g/mol

Moles glucose = 0.341 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of ethanol

1 mole of glucose consumed, produces 2 moles of ethanol and 2 moles of CO2

0.341 moles of glucose, will produce 2*0.341 = 0.682 moles of ethanol

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate mass of ethanol

Mass ethanol = moles ethanol * Molar mass ethanol

Mass ethanol = 0.682 moles * 46.08 g/mol

Mass ethanol = 31.43 grams = theoretical mass

<u>Step 6:</u> Calculate % yield

% yield = actual mass / theoretical mass

% yield = (23.4 grams / 31.43 grams) * 100%

% yield = 74.45 %

The % yield is 74.45 %

The charges of a set of isoelectronic ions vary from 3+ to 3-. Place the ions in order of increasing size.
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

  Iso-electronic species have same number of electrons . Positive charged ions will have smaller size . As electrons add , size increases due to electronic repulsion .

Following species are isoelectronic .

Al³⁺ < Mg²⁺ < Na¹⁺ < Ne < F⁻¹ < O⁻² < N⁻³

A metal M forms the oxide M2O. When 0.890 grams of M reacts with pure oxygen, 0.956 grams of M2O form. Write the balanced equati
Alla [95]

The molar mass of M is  0.225g/mol and the element M is Hydrogen

If a metal M combines with an oxygen element to form the oxide, M_2O then the chemical reaction will be expressed as:

4M + O_2 -> 2M_2O\\

This shows that 4 moles of an unknown element M react with the oxygen element to produce the oxide M_2O

Given the following parameters

Mass of M = 0.890 grams

Mass of M_2O = 0.956 grams

Get the molar mass of M:

Molar mass = Mass/number of moles

Molar mass = 0.890/4

Molar mass = 0.225g/mol

Hence the molar mass of M is  0.225g/mol and the element M is Hydrogen
