What affects the rates of reactions? describe each. a. b.?

1 answer:

4 0

Rates can be calculated with Arrhenius equation k = Axe^(-Ea/RT)
a. temperature affects the rate - imagine you are making coffee, so coffee crystals are boiled faster on higher temperature. Simplified but makes sense.
b. Ea is activation energy. Imagine, while preparing coffee, some of ingredients change to a different one, so there is a A -> B reaction (simplified). Now, Ea is energy barrier that stands on the arrow of this reaction, preventing A to transform to B. If Ea is small, reaction will go easy (not fast!), if Ea is large –reaction will not happen so easy (you ll have to use catalyst for example)

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer : The concentration of a solution with an absorbance of 0.460 is, 0.177 M

Explanation :

Using Beer-Lambert's law :

$A=\epsilon \times C\times l$

where,

A = absorbance of solution

C = concentration of solution

l = path length

$\epsilon$ = molar absorptivity coefficient

From this we conclude that absorbance of solution is directly proportional to the concentration of solution at constant path length.

Thus, the relation between absorbance and concentration of solution will be:

$\frac{A_1}{A_2}=\frac{C_1}{C_2}$

Given:

$A_1$ = 0.350

$A_2$ = 0.460

$C_1$ = 0.135 M

$C_2$ = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\frac{0.350}{0.460}=\frac{0.135}{C_2}$

$C_1=0.177M$

Therefore, the concentration of a solution with an absorbance of 0.460 is, 0.177 M

The pH of lemon juice is 2, and the pH of orange juice is 4. Which of these is more acidic, and by how much? What does this mean

katovenus [111]

Explanation:

The pH is a 1 to 14 scale that measures how acidic or basic is a solution, at lowest number the solution will be acid, in 7 the solution will be neutral, and in higher values will be basic. It is a logarithmic scale, so with each number you move, the acidity or basicity will be increased by a factor of 10. So, lemon juice is more acidic than orange juice by a factor of 100.
