Answer:

60.8%

Explanation:

We'll begin obtaining the molar mass of cobalt(II) fluoride, CoF2. This can be done as shown below:

Molar mass of CoF2 = 59 + (19x2) = 97g/mol.

The percentage composition of cobalt in cobalt(II) fluoride, CoF2 is given by:

Mass of Co/Molar Mass of CoF2 x 100

=> 59/97 x 100 = 60.8%

Therefore, the percentage composition of cobalt in cobalt(II) fluoride, CoF2 is 60.8%

The tabulated data were collected for this reaction:

Answer:

ai) Rate law, $Rate = k [CH_3 Cl] [Cl_2]^{0.5}$

aii) Rate constant, k = 1.25

b) Overall order of reaction = 1.5

Explanation:

Equation of Reaction:

$CH_{3} Cl (g) + 3 Cl_2 (g) \rightarrow CCl_4 (g) + 3 HCl (g)$

If $A + B \rightarrow C + D$ , the rate of backward reaction is given by:

$Rate = k [A]^{a} [B]^{b}\\k = \frac{Rate}{ [A]^{a} [B]^{b}}\\k = \frac{Rate}{ [CH_3 Cl]^{a} [Cl_2]^{b}}$

k is constant for all the stages

Using the information provided in lines 1 and 2 of the table:

$0.014 / [0.05]^a [0.05]^b = 00.029/ [0.100]^a [0.05]^b\\0.014 / [0.05]^a [0.05]^b = 00.029/ [2*0.05]^a [0.05]^b\\0.014 / = 0.029/ 2^a\\2^a = 2.07\\a = 1$

Using the information provided in lines 3 and 4 of the table and insering the value of a:

$0.041 / [0.100]^a [0.100]^b = 0.115 / [0.200]^a [0.200]^b\\0.041 / [0.100]^a [0.100]^b = 0.115 / [2 * 0.100]^a [2 * 0.100]^b\\$

$0.041 = 0.115 / [2 ]^a [2]^b\\ \[[2 ]^a [2]^b = 0.115/0.041\\ \[[2 ]^a [2]^b = 2.80\\\[[2 ]^1 [2]^b = 2.80\\\[[2]^b = 1.40\\b = \frac{ln 1.4}{ln 2} \\b = 0.5$
