Answer:
A piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Most alpha particles went right through. This showed that the gold atoms were mostly empty space. Some particles had their paths bent at large angles. A few even bounced backward. The only way this would happen was if the atom had a small, heavy region of positive charge inside it.
When the reaction equation is:
HF ↔ H+ + F-
and when the Ka expression
= concentration of products/concentration of reactions
so, Ka = [H+][F-]/[HF]
when we assume:
[H+] = [F-] = X
and [HF] = 0.35 - X
So, by substitution:
6.8 x 10^-4 = X^2 / (0.35 - X) by solving for X
∴ X = 0.015 M
∴[H+] = X = 0.015
when PH = -㏒[H+]
∴PH = -㏒0.015
= 1.8
To determine which order of the reaction it is, first we need to calculate the rate of change of moles.
the data is as follows
time 0 40 80 120 160
moles 0.100 0.067 0.045 0.030 0.020
Q1)
for the first 40 s change of moles ;
= -d[A] / t
= - (0.067-0.100)/40s
= 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
for the next 40 s
= -(0.045-0.067)/40
= 5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
the 40 s after that
= -(0.030-0.045)/40 s
= 3.75 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
k - rate constant
and A is the only reactant that affects the rate of the reaction
rate = k [A]ᵇ
8.25 × 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]ᵇ ----1
5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.067 mol]ᵇ -----2
divide the 2nd equation by the 1st equation
1.5 = [1.49]ᵇ
b is almost equal to 1
Therefore this is a first order reaction
Q2)
to find out the rate constant(k), we have to first state the equation for a first order reaction.
rate = k[A]ᵇ
As A is the only reactant thats considered for the rate equation.
Since this is a first order reaction,
b = 1
therefore the reaction is
rate = k[A]
substituting the values,
8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]
k = 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s /0.100mol
= 8.25 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
Jim, because he ran a greater distance in the same time :)
By the way, this is a maths question
Answer: The correct option is 2.
Explanation: There are two types of nuclear reactions:
1) Nuclear fission: These reactions are defined as the reactions in which a heavier unstable nuclei breaks into two or more smaller stable nuclei.
2) Nuclear fusion: These reactions are the ones where two smaller nuclei fuse together or combine together to form a larger nuclei.
In the question, we need to find the fusion reaction which forms elements heavier than helium.
Option 1: In this fusion reaction occurs but the nuclei is Helium itself.
Option 2: In this also fusion reaction occurs and the nuclei is heavier than Helium which is Neon.
Option 3 and Option 4: These two reactions are nuclear fission reactions of Uranium-235 because one heavier element is breaking into more than 2 products.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
