A second-order reaction has a rate law: rate = k[a]2, where k = 0.150 m−1s−1. If the initial concentration of a is 0.250 m, what

Cerrena [4.2K]

Rate law for the given 2nd order reaction is:

Rate = k[a]2

Given data:

rate constant k = 0.150 m-1s-1

initial concentration, [a] = 0.250 M

reaction time, t = 5.00 min = 5.00 min * 60 s/s = 300 s

To determine:

Concentration at time t = 300 s i.e. $[a]_{t}$

Calculations:

The second order rate equation is:

$1/[a]_{t} = kt +1/[a]$

substituting for k,t and [a] we get:

1/[a]t = 0.150 M-1s-1 * 300 s + 1/[0.250]M

1/[a]t = 49 M-1

[a]t = 1/49 M-1 = 0.0204 M

Hence the concentration of 'a' after t = 5min is 0.020 M

Calculate the hight of a column of liquid glycerol in meters required to exert the same pressure as 3.02 m if CCl4?

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Approximately $3.81\; \rm m$ .

Explanation:

Look up the density $\rho$ of carbon tetrachloride, $\rm CCl_4$ , and glycerol:

Density of carbon tetrachloride: approximately $1.59\times 10^{3}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3}$ .
Density of glycerol: approximately $1.26\times 10^{3}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3}$ .

Let $g$ denote the gravitational field strength. (Typically $g \approx 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}$ near the surface of the earth.) For a column of liquid with a height of $h$ , if the density of the liquid is $\rho$ , the pressure at the bottom of the column would be:

$P = \rho\cdot g \cdot h$ .

The pressure at the bottom of this carbon tetrachloride column would be:

$\begin{aligned} P &= \rho \cdot g \cdot h \\ & \approx 1.59\times 10^{3} \; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3} \times 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} \times 3.02 \; \rm m \approx 4.71 \times 10^{4} \; \rm N \cdot m^{-2} \end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange the equation $P = \rho\cdot g \cdot h$ for $h$ :

$\displaystyle h = \frac{P}{\rho \cdot g}$ .

Apply this equation to calculate the height of the liquid glycerol column:

$\begin{aligned}h &= \frac{P}{\rho \cdot g} \\ &\approx \frac{4.71 \times 10^{4}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}}{1.26 \times 10^{3}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3} \times 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}} \approx 3.81\; \rm m\end{aligned}$ .

The Kinetic Molecular Theory describes the behavior as well as the characteristics of an ideal gas. What are the five postulates

sineoko [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The postulates of the kinetic theory of matter are;

Every substance is made up of tiny particles called molecules. Brownian motion and diffusion illustrates this fact.
The molecules that compose matter are in constant random motion.
There exists an attractive force between the molecules in matter. The attractive forces between gases are negligible. Solids have a definite shape and volume due to a high magnitude of intermolecular forces. Liquids have a volume but no definite shape due to weaker intermolecular forces. Gases have the weakest intermolecular forces hence the do not have both a shape and volume. They take on the volume of the container into which they are put. This illustrates this fact.
The actual volume occupied by gas molecules is negligible relative to the volume of the container. The fact that gases are easily compressible illustrates this fact.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a body.
