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.

anzhelika [568]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

B. 3/2

<h3><u>  Explanation;</u></h3>

Balance the chemical equation

2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3

We want to convert moles of AlCl3 to moles of Cl2

The conversion factor is 2 mol AlCl3/3 mol Cl2.

We choose the one that makes the units cancel:

x mol AlCl3 x (3 mol Cl3)/(2mol AlCl3) = x mol Al

The fraction for the molar ratio is 3/2.

klasskru [66]

Explanation:

21. The given molecule for cracking is tetradecane.

On cracking it forms one mole of decane (C10H22) and two moles of ethene gas.

The chemical equation is shown below:

C_1_4H_3_0->C_1_0H_2_2+2C_2H_4

22. The essential condition for the formation of an ester is the reaction of alcohol and acid in presence of concentrated sulfuric acid.

Thus among the given options, the first option is the correct one.

23. Isomers of butanol are shown below:

It is 2-butanol.

The position of -OH group changes to the second carbon.
