Answer:
6 x 10⁵ kg Hg
Explanation:
The mass of mercury in the entire lake is found by multiplying the concentration of the mercury by the volume of the lake.
The volume of the lake is calculated in cubic feet:
V = (SA)x(depth) = (100mi²)(5280ft/mi)² x (20ft) = 5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³
Cubic feet are then converted to mL (1cm³=1mL)
(5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³) x (12in/ft)³ x (2.54cm/in)³ = 1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL
The mass of mercury is then found:
m = CV = (0.4μg/mL)(1g/10⁶μg)(1kg/1000g) x (1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL) = 6 x 10⁵ kg Hg
Answer:
a) First-order.
b) 0.013 min⁻¹
c) 53.3 min.
d) 0.0142M
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, on the attached document, we can notice the corresponding plot for each possible order of reaction. Thus, we should remember that in zeroth-order we plot the concentration of the reactant (SO2Cl2 ) versus the time, in first-order the natural logarithm of the concentration of the reactant (SO2Cl2 ) versus the time and in second-order reactions the inverse of the concentration of the reactant (SO2Cl2 ) versus the time.
a) In such a way, we realize the best fit is exhibited by the first-order model which shows a straight line (R=1) which has a slope of -0.0013 and an intercept of -2.3025 (natural logarithm of 0.1 which corresponds to the initial concentration). Therefore, the reaction has a first-order kinetics.
b) Since the slope is -0.0013 (take two random values), the rate constant is 0.013 min⁻¹:

c) Half life for first-order kinetics is computed by:

d) Here, we compute the concentration via the integrated rate law once 1500 minutes have passed:

Best regards.
