2Ag + H2S ? Ag2S + H2 Which statement is true about this chemical equation? A) Ag (silver) is oxidized and H (hydrogen) is reduc
nadezda [96]

Answer:

It is A).

Explanation:

Silver (Ag) goes from the  pure metal to Ag+ losing 1 electron so it is oxidised.

The hydrogen ion  gains electrons and is reduced.

For the reaction 2N2O5(g) <---> 4NO2(g) + O2(g), the following data were colected:
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

a) The reaction is first order, that is, order 1. Option C is correct.

b) The half life of the reaction is 23 minutes. Option B is correct

c) The initial rate of production of NO2 for this reaction is approximately = (3.7 × 10⁻⁴) M/min. Option has been cut off.

Explanation:

First of, we try to obtain the order of the reaction from the data provided.

t (minutes) [N2O5] (mol/L)

0 1.24x10-2

10 0.92x10-2

20 0.68x10-2

30 0.50x10-2

40 0.37x10-2

50 0.28x10-2

70 0.15x10-2

Using a trial and error mode, we try to obtain the order of the reaction. But let's define some terms.

C₀ = Initial concentration of the reactant

C = concentration of the reactant at any time.

k = rate constant

t = time since the reaction started

T(1/2) = half life

We Start from the first guess of zero order.

For a zero order reaction, the general equation is

C₀ - C = kt

k = (C₀ - C)/t

If the reaction is indeed a zero order reaction, the value of k we will obtain will be the same all through the set of data provided.

C₀ = 0.0124 M

At t = 10 minutes, C = 0.0092 M

k = (0.0124 - 0.0092)/10 = 0.00032 M/min

At t = 20 minutes, C = 0.0068 M

k = (0.0124 - 0.0068)/20 = 0.00028 M/min

At t = 30 minutes, C = 0.0050 M

k = (0.0124 - 0.005)/30 = 0.00024 M/min

It's evident the value of k isn't the same for the first 3 trials, hence, the reaction isn't a zero order reaction.

We try first order next, for first order reaction

In (C₀/C) = kt

k = [In (C₀/C)]/t

C₀ = 0.0124 M

At t = 10 minutes, C = 0.0092 M

k = [In (0.0124/0.0092)]/10 = 0.0298 /min

At t = 20 minutes, C = 0.0068 M

k = 0.030 /min

At t = 30 minutes, C = 0.0050 M

k = 0.0303

At t = 40 minutes

k = 0.0302 /min

At t = 50 minutes,

k = 0.0298 /min

At t = 60 minutes,

k = 0.031 /min

This shows that the reaction is indeed first order because all the answers obtained hover around the same value.

The rate constant to be taken will be the average of them all.

Average k = 0.0302 /min.

b) The half life of a first order reaction is related to the rate constant through this relation

T(1/2) = (In 2)/k

T(1/2) = (In 2)/0.0302

T(1/2) = 22.95 minutes = 23 minutes.

c) The initial rate of production of the product at the start of the reaction

Rate = kC (first order)

At the start of the reaction C = C₀ = 0.0124M and k = 0.0302 /min

Rate = 0.0302 × 0.0124 = 0.000374 M/min = (3.74 × 10⁻⁴) M/min

What is the ratio of [a–]/[ha] at ph 2.75? the pka of formic acid (methanoic acid, h–cooh) is 3.75?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

The dissociation of formic acid is:

HCOOH \rightleftharpoons HCOO^{-} + H^{+}

The acid dissociation constant of formic acid, k_a is:

k_a = \frac{[HCOO^{-}]  [H^{+}]}{HCOOH}

Rearranging the equation:

\frac{[HCOO^{-}]}{[HCOOH]} = \frac{k_a}{[H_+]}

pH = 2.75

pH = -log[H^{+}]

[H^{+}]= 10^{-2.75} = 1.78 \times 10^{-3}

pk_a = 3.75

k_a = 10^{-3.75} = 1.78\times 10^{-4}

Substituting the values in the equation:

\frac{[HCOO^{-}]}{[HCOOH]} = \frac{k_a}{[H_+]}

\frac{[HCOO^{-}]}{[HCOOH]} = \frac{1.78\times 10^{-4}}{1.78\times 10^{-3}}

Hence, the ratio is \frac{1}{10}.
