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

Discuss Newland octave law and it's rejection
Delvig [45]
It's where chemical elements are organized based on atomic weight. Also, like/similar physical and chemical properties in each interval of 7 elements. 
It was a silly reason it was rejected. It was rejected because it's octaves were too similar to those in music.
I hope this helps!

A solution of 1.50 g of solute dissolved in 25.0 mL of H₂O at 25°C has a boiling point of 100.45°C. (d) Find the van’t Hoff fact
givi [52]

The van 't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass. For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is essentially 1.

<h3>What is the value of van 't Hoff factor?</h3>

For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the Van 't Hoff factor is essentially $ 1 $ . For most ionic compounds dissolved in water, the Van 't Hoff factor is equal to the number of discrete ions in a formula unit of the substance.

Which has highest Van t Hoff factor?

The Van't Hoff factor will be highest for

  A. Sodium chloride.

  B. Magnesium chloride.

  C. Sodium phosphate.

  D. Urea.
