Answer:

The decomposition of ethane is 153.344 times much faster at 625°C than at 525°C.

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius equation,

K=A\times e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}}

\log (\frac{K_2}{K_1})=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]

where,

K_2 = rate of reaction at T_2

K_1 = rate of reaction at T_1

Ea = activation energy of the reaction

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/K mol

E_a=300 kJ/mol=300,000 J/mol

T_2=625^oC=898.15 K,T_1=525^oC=798.15 K

\log (\frac{K_2}{K_1})=\frac{300,000 J/mol}{2.303\times 8.314 J/K mol}[\frac{1}{798.15 K}-\frac{1}{898.15 K}]

\log (\frac{K_2}{K_1})=2.185666

K_2=153.344\times K_1

The decomposition of ethane is 153.344 times much faster at 625°C than at 525°C.

You add 4.7 gg iron to 27.10 mL of water and observe that the volume of iron and water together is 27.70 mLmL . Calculate the de
sattari [20]

Answer : The density of iron is, 7.8 g/mL

Explanation : Given,

Mass of iron = 4.7 g

Volume of water = 27.10 mL

Volume of water and iron = 27.70 mL

First we have to calculate the volume of iron.

Volume of iron = Volume of water and iron - Volume of water

Volume of iron = 27.70 mL - 27.10 mL

Volume of iron = 0.6 mL

Now we have to calculate the density of iron.

\text{Density of iron}=\frac{\text{Mass of iron}}{\text{Volume of iron}}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

\text{Density of iron}=\frac{4.7g}{0.6mL}

\text{Density of iron}=7.8g/mL

Thus, the density of iron is, 7.8 g/mL

Calculate the mass of chloroform that contains 1.00X10^12 molecules of chloroform
Brums [2.3K]

<span>Molar mass of chloroform (CHCl3)
C = 1 * 12 = 12 a.m.u
H = 1 * 1 = 1 a.m.u
Cl = 3 * 35.5 = 106.5 a.m.u
 Molar Mass (CHCl3) = 12 + 1 + 106.5 = 119.5 g / mol
 
Knowing that: The value of Avogadro's constant corresponds to approximately </span>6,02*10^{23} molecules, if chloroform contains 1,00 * 10^{12} molecules. <span> 
We have:
 
</span>1,00 * 10^{12} * 6,02 * 10^{23} = 6,02 * 10 ^ {35} molecules<span>
 
Now, how many grams are there in the chloroform molecule?

grams -------- molecules</span><span>
119,5 </span>→ 6,02 * 10^{23}
x → 6,02 * 10^{35}

6,02 * 10 ^ {23} * x = 119,5 * 6,02 * 10 ^{35}
6,02 * 10 ^ {23}x = 719,39 * 10^{35}
x =  \frac{719,39}{6,02}*10^{35-23}
\boxed{x = 119,5*10^{12}grams}
