Integrated rate law for second order unimolecular irreversible
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The rate law for second order unimolecular irreversible reaction is

\frac{1}{[A]} = k.t + \frac{1}{[A]_{0} }

Explanation:

A second order unimolecular irreversible reaction is

2A → B

Thus the rate of the reaction is

v = -\frac{1}{2}.\frac{d[A]}{dt} = k.[A]^{2}

rearranging the ecuation

-\frac{1}{2}.\frac{k}{dt} = \frac{[A]^{2}}{d[A]}

Integrating between times 0 to <em>t </em>and between the concentrations of [A]_{0} to <em>[A].</em>

\int\limits^0_t -\frac{1}{2}.\frac{k}{dt} =\int\limits^A_{0} _A\frac{[A]^{2}}{d[A]}

Solving the integral

\frac{1}{[A]} = k.t + \frac{1}{[A]_{0} }

how many calories of energy are given off to lower the temperature of 100.0g of iron from 150.0°C to 35.0°C?
jeyben [28]

Answer:

ΔT = Tfinal − Tinitial = 150°C − 35.0°C = 125°C

given the specific heat of iron as 0.108 cal/g·°C

heat=(100.0 g)(0.108 cal /g· °C )(125°C) =

  100x 0.108x125= 1350 cal

Imagine that small pieces of the metals copper, magnesium and iron are placed in three test tubes labeled A, B, and C, respectiv
Marizza181 [45]
A) Cu

Cu + 2HCl --> CuCl2 + H2(g)

Products predicted: Copper(II) choloride and hydrogen gas


B) Mg

Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2

Products predicted: magnesium chloride + hygrogen gas

C) Fe

Fe +2 HCl -> FeCl2 + H2, or
2Fe +6 HCl -> 2FeCl3 + 3H2

Products predicted: Iron(II) chloride, iron (III) chloride and hydrogen gas.

can someone help me more clearly understand the difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous? Give an example of each plz.
const2013 [10]
Heterogenous mixtures are unevenly mixed. Like oil and vinegar in vinaigrette if it is not emulsified well enough and they separate. Any case where two things are not evenly distributed within each other.

Homogenous mixtures are evenly mixed throughout. Like salt water or kool-aid (when it's mixed).

Hope this helps!

The equation for the combustion of CH4 (the main component of natural gas) is
Lera25 [3.4K]

Heat produced =  -13588.956 kJ

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The reaction of combustion of Methane

CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g) ΔH∘rxn=−802.3kJ

271 g of CH4

Required

Heat produced

Solution

mol of 271 g CH₄ (MW=16 g/mol0

mol = mass : MW

mol = 271 : 16

mol = 16.9375

So Heat produced :

= mol x ΔH°rxn

= 16.9375 mol x −802.3kJ/mol = -13588.956 kJ
