Answer:

A naturally occurring, inorganic solid with an orderly crystalline structure and a definite chemical composition is a <u>mineral.</u>

Explanation:

The word mineral is used in different ways, one of them being when referring to any valuable material extracted from the Earth, like coal for example. By definition, a mineral is a naturally occurring (as they are form by geological processes that are not human-controlled or affected), inorganic solid (that's is to say something that it is not animal or plant and that is not in the form of liquid or gas), with an orderly crystalline structure (atoms are arranged in an organized and repetitive pattern) and a definite chemical composition (although the chemical composition of minerals is always definite, it can vary within some specific limits and types of minerals).

The tabulated data were collected for this reaction:

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

ai) Rate law, $Rate = k [CH_3 Cl] [Cl_2]^{0.5}$

aii) Rate constant, k = 1.25

b) Overall order of reaction = 1.5

Explanation:

Equation of Reaction:

$CH_{3} Cl (g) + 3 Cl_2 (g) \rightarrow CCl_4 (g) + 3 HCl (g)$

If $A + B \rightarrow C + D$ , the rate of backward reaction is given by:

$Rate = k [A]^{a} [B]^{b}\\k = \frac{Rate}{ [A]^{a} [B]^{b}}\\k = \frac{Rate}{ [CH_3 Cl]^{a} [Cl_2]^{b}}$

k is constant for all the stages

Using the information provided in lines 1 and 2 of the table:

$0.014 / [0.05]^a [0.05]^b = 00.029/ [0.100]^a [0.05]^b\\0.014 / [0.05]^a [0.05]^b = 00.029/ [2*0.05]^a [0.05]^b\\0.014 / = 0.029/ 2^a\\2^a = 2.07\\a = 1$

Using the information provided in lines 3 and 4 of the table and insering the value of a:

$0.041 / [0.100]^a [0.100]^b = 0.115 / [0.200]^a [0.200]^b\\0.041 / [0.100]^a [0.100]^b = 0.115 / [2 * 0.100]^a [2 * 0.100]^b\\$

$0.041 = 0.115 / [2 ]^a [2]^b\\ \[[2 ]^a [2]^b = 0.115/0.041\\ \[[2 ]^a [2]^b = 2.80\\\[[2 ]^1 [2]^b = 2.80\\\[[2]^b = 1.40\\b = \frac{ln 1.4}{ln 2} \\b = 0.5$

The rate law is: $Rate = k [CH_3 Cl] [Cl_2]^{0.5}$

The rate constant $k = \frac{Rate}{ [CH_3 Cl]^{a} [Cl_2]^{b}}$ then becomes:

$k = 0.014 / ( [0.050] [0.050]^(0.5) )\\k = 1.25$

b) Overall order of reaction = a + b

Overall order of reaction = 1 + 0.5

Overall order of reaction = 1.5

When the temperature of a rigid hollow sphere containing 685 L of helium gas is held at 621 K, the pressure of the gas is 1.89 x

Leno4ka [110]

You have to use the equation PV=nRT.
P=pressure (in this case 1.89x10^3 kPa which equals 18.35677 atm)
1V=volume (in this case 685L)
n=moles (in this case the unknown)
R=gas constant (0.08206 (L atm)/(mol K))
T=temperature (in this case 621 K)
with the given information you can rewrite the ideal gas law equation as n=PV/RT.
n=(18.35677atm x 685L)/(0.08206atmL/molK x 621K)
n=246.8 moles

Describe how the size of the sun compares to the sizes of the other stars.

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The sun's circumference is about 2,713,406 miles (4,366,813 km). It may be the biggest thing in this neighborhood, but the sun is just average compared to other stars. Betelgeuse, a red giant, is about 700 times bigger than the sun and about 14,000 times brighter.
