Answer : The rate of consumption of hexane is, 6.25\times 10^{-3}atm/s

Explanation :

The general rate of reaction is,

aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The expression for rate of reaction will be :

\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}

\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}

Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}

From this we conclude that,

In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.

The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.

The given rate of reaction is,

C_6H_{14}(g)\rightarrow C_6H_6(g)+4H_2(g)

The expression for rate of reaction :

\text{Rate of disappearance of }C_6H_{14}=-\frac{d[C_6H_{14}]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of }C_6H_6=+\frac{d[C_6H_6]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of }H_2=+\frac{1}{4}\frac{d[H_2]}{dt}

As we know that,  the partial pressure is directly proportional to the concentration. So,

\text{Rate of reaction}=-\frac{dP_{C_6H_{14}}}{dt}=+\frac{dP_{C_6H_6}}{dt}=+\frac{1}{4}\frac{dP_{H_2}}{dt}

Given:

+\frac{dP_{H_2}}{dt}=2.5\times 10^{-2}atm/s

As,  

-\frac{dP_{C_6H_{14}}}{dt}=+\frac{1}{4}\frac{dP_{H_2}}{dt}=2.5\times 10^{-2}atm/s

and,

\frac{dP_{C_6H_{14}}}{dt}=\frac{1}{4}\times 2.5\times 10^{-2}atm/s

\frac{dP_{C_6H_{14}}}{dt}=6.25\times 10^{-3}atm/s

Thus, the rate of consumption of hexane is, 6.25\times 10^{-3}atm/s

Calculate the ratio of the mass ratio of SS to OO in SOSO to the mass ratio of SS to OO in SO2SO2. Consider a sample of SOSO in
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The ratio of the mass ratio of S to O; in SO, to the mass ratio of S to O; in SO₂, is  2:1

Explanation:

According to the consideration, let us first find the ratio of S and O in both the compounds

For SO:

\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{16}\\\\   \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 2

Let us express it as

SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }} = 2

For SO₂,

Due to two oxygen atoms in the molecule, the mass of oxygen will be taken two times

\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{(2)(16)}\\\\   \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 1

Let us express it as

SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}= 1

Now, for the ratio of both the above-calculated ratios,

\frac{SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}{SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}=\frac{2}{1}

The required ratio is 2:1
