The reaction of solid calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid is a heterogeneous reaction (a solid with a liquid). The rate law

for this reaction will have the following form: rate= k[HCL]n. Explain why the concentration of calcium carbonate does not appear in the rate law.

The concentration of calcium carbonate does not appear in the rate law because it is a solid and its concentration is constant. The molar density, which is fixed, is the concentration of the solid. In this chemical reaction, only the amount of hydrochloric acid affects the rate of reaction.

Answer:

Rate of reaction does not depend on concentration of reactants that are constant.

Explanation:

The rate law or rate equation for a chemical reaction is an equation that links the reaction rate with the concentrations or pressures of the reactants and constant parameters (normally rate coefficients and partial reaction orders).

Sincethe rate law pretty much shows the variation between the rate of reaction at different concentrations, it follows that a fixed concentration would have a fixed rate and as such rate of reaction is independendent on such reactant.

This is alswo what is happening here, in the reaction between solid calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid, the reaction is independent on the concentration hence it is not represented in the rate law. The reason for this is because the concentrationof the solid calcium carbonate is constant and does not change. Same thing also happens in reactions involving large amount of water.

In short, rate of reaction does not depend on concentration of reactants that are constant.

The best way seperate salt fron wateris with the use of
ExtremeBDS [4]

You can boil or evaporate the water and the salt will be left behind as a solid. If you want to collect the water, you can use distillation. This works because salt has a much higher boiling point than water. One way to separate salt and water at home is to boil the salt water in a pot with a lid. So, I would say maybe oil.

Rock and ice particles make up the ____ of the Jovian planets? Ring system, craters, volcanoes, or asteroids
lara31 [8.8K]
Jovian planets are what we call the "gas giants," so immediately we can eliminate craters or volcanos because they don't have a solid surface. asteroids in space doesn't belong to any specific planet, so the answer is ring systems.

Which of the following is a change from a more condensed to a less condensed state of matter? Freezing Condensing Evaporating So
3241004551 [841]
Evaporating.

This is because evaporation occurs for things such as water coming in contact with a heat source that cause molecules to run crazy and begin to go farther and farther apart, becoming steam and evaporation in the air.

Therefore, during the process of evaporation, molecules become less condensed.

Hope this helps!

Complete the sentences about heme. Some terms will not be used. The prosthetic group of hemoglobin and myoglobin is . The organi
nevsk [136]

Explanation:

Haemoglobin consists of heme unit which is comprised of an <u>Fe^{2+}</u> and porphyrin ring. The ring has four pyrrole molecules which are linked to the iron ion. In oxyhaemoglobin, the iron has coordinates with four nitrogen atoms and one to the F8 histidine residue and the sixth one to the oxygen. In deoxyhaemoglobin, the ion is displaced out of the ring by 0.4 Å.

The prosthetic group of hemoglobin and myoglobin is - <u>Heme</u>

The organic ring component of heme is - <u>Porphyrin</u>

Under normal conditions, the central atom of heme is - <u>Fe^{2+}</u>

In <u>deoxyhemoglobin</u> , the central iron atom is displaced 0.4 Å out of the plane of the porphyrin ring system.

The central atom has <u>six</u> bonds: <u>four</u> to nitrogen atoms in the porphyrin, one to a <u>histidine</u> residue, and one to oxygen.
