A person tries to heat up her bath water by adding 5.0 l of water at 80c to 60 l of water at 30c. what is the final temperature

Sophie [7]

We can calculate the final temperature from this formula :

when Tf = (V1* T1) +(V2* T2) / (V1+ V2)

when V1 is the first volume of water = 5 L

and V2 is the second volume of water = 60 L

and T1 is the first temperature of water in Kelvin = 80 °C +273 = 353 K

and T2 is the second temperature of water in Kelvin = 30°C + 273= 303 K

and Tf is the final temperature of water in Kelvin

so, by substitution:

Tf = (5 L * 353 K ) + ( 60 L * 303 K) / ( 5 L + 60 L)

= 1765 + 18180 / 65 L

= 306 K
= 306 -273 = 33° C

A first-order decomposition reaction has a rate constant of 0.00440 yr−1. How long does it take for [reactant] to reach 12.5% of

mina [271]

Answer:

473 year

Explanation:

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Given:

To reach 12.5% of reactant means that 0.125 of $[A_0]$ is decomposed. So,

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}$ = 0.125

t = ?

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-k\times t}$

$0.125=e^{-0.00440\times t}$

t = 473 year

Which of the following statement is FALSE? a. Lowering the free energy of the transition state can increase a reaction rate. b.

ryzh [129]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy or free energy of a transition state is defined as the minimum amount of energy required to by reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction.

So, when activation energy is decreased then molecules with lesser amount of energy can also participate in the reaction. This leads to an increase in rate of reaction.

Also, increase in temperature will help in increasing the rate of reaction.

Whereas at a given temperature, every molecule will have different energy because every molecule travels at different speed.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options false statement is that at a given temperature and time all molecules in a solution or a sample will have the same energy.
