For the reaction C6H14(g) ------> C6H6(g) + 4H2(g), the rate of formation of hydrogen gas, H2 was found to be 2.5 x 10-2 atm/

s, measured in terms of pressure change. Determine the rate of consumption of hexane, C6H14(g) at the same time.

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

When a Na atom loses an electron to a Cl atom, the two atoms have opposite charges and are attracted to one another. What is the
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Ionic bond

Explanation:

When Na loses an electron, it becomes positive ion.  

When Cl gains  an electron, it becomes negative ion.  

The electrostatic attraction between these ions is an ionic bond.

Which profile best describes the reaction C(s) + 2H2(g) → CH4(g),<br> AH = -74.9 kJ?
katrin [286]

Answer:

Option B. A

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

C(s) + 2H₂ (g) —> CH₄ (g). ΔH = –74.9 kJ

From the reaction above, we can see that the enthalpy change (ΔH) is negative (i.e –74.9 KJ) which implies that the heat content of the reactants is greater than the heat content of the products. Thus, the reaction is exothermic reaction.

For an exothermic reaction, the energy profile diagram is drawn in such a way that the heat content of reactants is higher than the heat content of products because the enthalpy change

(ΔH) is always negative.

Thus, diagram A (i.e option B) gives the correct answer to the question.
