The answer to the question
The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
At elevated temperature, nitrogen dioxide decomposes to nitrogen oxide and oxygen gas
The reaction is second order for 
with a rate constant of 
at 300°C. If the initial [NO₂] is 0.260 M, it will take ________ s for the concentration to drop to 0.150 M
a) 1.01 b) 5.19 c) 0.299 d) 0.0880 e) 3.34
<u>Answer:</u> The time taken is 5.19 seconds
<u>Explanation:</u>
The integrated rate law equation for second order reaction follows:
![k=\frac{1}{t}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{[A]_o}\right)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=k%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bt%7D%5Cleft%20%28%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BA%5D%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BA%5D_o%7D%5Cright%29)
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time taken = ?
[A] = concentration of substance after time 't' = 0.150 M
![[A]_o](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D_o)
= Initial concentration = 0.260 M
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the time taken is 5.19 seconds
Answer:
Aqueous layer (1 M HCI)
Explanation:
First of us I want to remind you of the cliché in chemistry that like dissolves like. In solvent extraction, a mixture is dissolved in a system consisting of two immiscible solvents. One layer is organic while the other layer is aqueous.
Polar substances partition in the aqueous layer while nonpolar substances partition in the organic layer.
Since Copper sulfate is ionic, we will find it in the aqueous layer according to the old chemistry cliche.
Answer:
NO2- is the reducing agent.
Cr2O7_2- is the oxidizing agent.
H+ is neither
Explanation:
Reduction is the gain in electron. A chemical specie that undergoes reduction is called the oxidizing agent.
Oxidation is simply the loss in electrons. A chemical specie that undergoes oxidation is called the reducing agent.
Let us look at the species.
The first specie is the NO2-. In this specie, the oxidation number of nitrogen changed from +3 to +5 in NO3-. Thus we can see that there is more loss of electron to have caused an increase in the oxidation number positively. This shows an oxidation. Hence, NO2- is the reducing agent.
Let us look at the chromium. We can see that the oxidation number of chromium changed from +7 to +3.
Now we can see that it is a decrease and hence, it is a gain of electron and thus it is reduction. This means the first chromium specie is the oxidizing agent.
The hydrogen ion is simply placed there to balance the ions and hence it is neither the oxidizing nor the reducing agent.
