Answer:

0.03atm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Total pressure  = 780torr

Partial pressure of water vapor  = 1.0atm

Unknown:

Partial pressure of radon  = ?

Solution:

A sound knowledge of Dalton's law of partial pressure will help solve this problem.

The law states that "the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the constituent gases".

Mathematically;

           P_{t}   =   P_{1}  + P_{2}   +   P_{n}

Since the total pressure is 780torr, convert this to atm;

                       760torr = 1 atm

                       780torr  = \frac{780}{760} atm  = 1.03atm

     For this problem;

Total pressure  = Partial pressure of radon + Partial pressure of water vapor

            1.03 = Partial pressure of radon + 1.0

  Partial pressure of radon  = 1.03 - 1.00  = 0.03atm

The correct answer is letter (A) Acetylene. Acetylene is the most simplest form of alkyne and at the same time a hydrocarbon. It is unsaturated because of the presence of only two carbon atoms that are bonded together in a triple bond. I<span>n its pure, it is unstable and thus, it is usually held and handled as a solution.</span>

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Q9. The independent variable in this experiment is the fertilizer. It is independent because she manipulating the variable to compare the growth.

Q10. The dependent variable in this experiment is the amount of growth of the corn. It is this because the growth depends on what the scientist did on the corn.

Q11. The variable controlled in this experiment is the amount of sun and water. These two variables never change so this is why it is the control.

The reaction 2NO(g)+O2(g)−→−2NO2(g) is second order in NO and first order in O2. When [NO]=0.040M, and [O2]=0.035M, the observed
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

(a) The rate of disappearance of O_{2} is: 4.65*10^{-5} M/s

(b) The value of rate constant is: 0.83036 M^{-2}s^{-1}

(c) The units of rate constant is:  M^{-2}s^{-1}

(d) The rate will increase by a factor of 3.24

Explanation:

The rate of a reaction can be expressed in terms of the concentrations of the reactants and products in accordance with the balanced equation.

For the given reaction:

2NO(g)+O_{2}->2NO_{2}

rate = -\frac{1}{2} \frac{d}{dt}[NO] = -\frac{d}{dt}[O_{2}] = \frac{1}{2}\frac{d}{dt}[NO_{2}] -----(1)

According to the question, the reaction is second order in NO and first order in  O_{2}.

Then we can say that, rate = k[NO]^{2}[O_{2}] -----(2)

where k is the rate constant.

The rate of disappearance of NO is given:

-\frac{d}{dt}[NO] = 9.3*10^{-5} M/s.

(a) From (1), we can get the rate of disappearance of O_{2}.

    Rate of disappearance of  O_{2} = -\frac{d}{dt}[O_{2}] = (0.5)*(9.3*10^{-5}) M/s = 4.65*10^{-5} M/s.

(b) The rate of the reaction can be obtained from (1).

    rate = -\frac{1}{2} \frac{d}{dt}[NO] = (0.5)*(9.3*10^{-5})

    rate = 4.65*10^{-5} M/s

   The value of rate constant can be obtained by using (2).

    rate constant = k = \frac{rate}{[NO]^{2}[O_{2}]}

    k = \frac{4.65*10^{-5}}{(0.040)^{2}(0.035)} = 0.83036 M^{-2}s^{-1}

(c) The units of the rate constant can be obtained from (2).

    k = \frac{rate}{[NO]^{2}[O_{2}]}

    Substituting the units of rate as M/s and concentrations as M, we get:

\frac{Ms^{-1} }{M^{3}} = M^{-2}s^{-1}

(d) The reaction is second order in NO. Rate is proportional to square of the concentration of NO.

     rate\alpha [NO]^{2}

If the concentration of NO increases by a factor of 1.8, the rate will increase by a factor of (1.8)^{2} = 3.24
