Answer:

1) The order of the reaction is of FIRST ORDER

2)   Rate constant k = 5.667 × 10 ⁻⁴

Explanation:

From the given information:

The composition of a liquid-phase reaction 2A - B was monitored spectrophotometrically.

liquid-phase reaction 2A - B signifies that the reaction is of FIRST ORDER where the rate of this reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of A.

The following data was obtained:

t/min                    0         10         20          30             40          ∞

conc B/(mol/L)    0       0.089    0.153     0.200       0.230    0.312

For  a first order reaction:

K = \dfrac{1}{t} \ In ( \dfrac{C_{\infty} - C_o}{C_{\infty} - C_t})

where :

K = proportionality  constant or the rate constant for the specific reaction rate

t = time of reaction

C_o = initial concentration at time t

C _{\infty} = final concentration at time t

C_t = concentration at time t

To start with the value of t when t = 10 mins

K_1 = \dfrac{1}{10} \ In ( \dfrac{0.312 - 0}{0.312 - 0.089})

K_1 = \dfrac{1}{10} \ In ( \dfrac{0.312 }{0.223})

K_1 =0.03358 \  min^{-1}

K_1 \simeq 0.034 \  min^{-1}

When t = 20

K_2= \dfrac{1}{20} \ In ( \dfrac{0.312 - 0}{0.312 - 0.153})

K_2= 0.05 \times  \ In ( 1.9623)

K_2=0.03371 \ min^{-1}

K_2 \simeq 0.034 \ min^{-1}

When t = 30

K_3= \dfrac{1}{30} \ In ( \dfrac{0.312 - 0}{0.312 - 0.200})

K_3= 0.0333 \times  \ In ( \dfrac{0.312}{0.112})

K_3= 0.0333 \times  \ 1.0245

K_3 = 0.03412 \ min^{-1}

K_3 = 0.034 \ min^{-1}

When t = 40

K_4= \dfrac{1}{40} \ In ( \dfrac{0.312 - 0}{0.312 - 0.230})

K_4=0.025 \times  \ In ( \dfrac{0.312}{0.082})

K_4=0.025 \times  \ In ( 3.8048)

K_4=0.03340 \ min^{-1}

We can see that at the different time rates, the rate constant of k_1, k_2, k_3, and k_4 all have similar constant values

As such :

Rate constant k = 0.034 min⁻¹

Converting it to seconds ; we have :

60 seconds = 1 min

∴

0.034 min⁻¹ =(0.034/60) seconds

= 5.667 × 10 ⁻⁴ seconds

Rate constant k = 5.667 × 10 ⁻⁴

True or false: If you rub things together, electrons can move from one atom to another?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

there is a transfer of electrons from one material to the other material. This causes one object to become positively charged (the electron loser) and the other object to become negatively charged (the electron gainer).

In the periodic table, the elements that are adjacent to the "stair step" are called _____. actinide series nonmetals metalloids
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:-

Metalloids

Explanation:-

The stair step line is a line in the periodic table that divides the metals on one side and the non metals on the other side. So the elements which lie on the stair step line must have properties in between those exhibited by the metals and those by the non metals.

Such elements we know are called metalloids. Thus In the periodic table, the elements that are adjacent to the "stair step" are called metalloids.
