Where.. 
<span>[At] = concentration of component "A" after time = t has elapsed </span>
<span>k = rate constant </span>
<span>t = time elapsed </span>
<span>[Ao] = concentration at time = 0.. i.e.. the concentration you started with. </span>

<span>************ </span>
<span>now... you have pressure.. not concentration right? </span>

<span>if your gas is an ideal gas, then </span>
<span>PV = nRT </span>
<span>P = (n/V) x (RT) </span>

<span>and since "concentration" = moles / volume.. i.e.. [A] = n/v </span>
<span>and since "R" is a constant </span>
<span>and since "T" is a constant </span>

<span>[A] = P / (RT) </span>

<span>***** </span>
<span>so we can either do this.. </span>
<span>ln( Pt/(RT) ) = -kt + ln( Po/(RT)) </span>

<span>and since Pt and "t" vary and Po and R and T are constant </span>

<span>this is of the form </span>
<span>y = mx + b </span>

<span>if we let </span>
<span>.. y = ln( Pt / (RT) ) </span>
<span>.. m = -k </span>
<span>.. .x = time </span>
<span>.. b = ln( Po / (RT)) </span>

<span>i.e.. a plot of ln(P / RT) on the y-axis versus time on the x-axis will have a slope = -k </span>

<span>so.. </span>
<span>open up an excel spreadsheet </span>
<span>make three columns starting with T = </span>

<span>.. .. .. .. ..col A.. . .col B.. .. ,.Col C </span>
<span>row 1.... . t.. ... .P(torr)... . .ln[P/RT (M)]. </span>
<span>row 2.. ....0... .. . .502... .. .+ln(B2/760/0.08206/(273.15+215)) </span>
<span>row 3.. ....2000 . .335... .. .+ln(B3/760/0.08206/(273.15+215)) </span>
<span>etc.. </span>

<span>mouse to A2 </span>
<span>left click and hold </span>
<span>drag highlight to A7 </span>
<span>press and hold ctrl </span>
<span>release mouse (keep holding ctrl </span>
<span>mouse to c2 </span>
<span>left click and hold </span>
<span>drag to c7 </span>
<span>release ctrl </span>
<span>release mouse </span>
<span>left click insert </span>
<span>left click scatter </span>
<span>choose the upper left one with just the data points by left clicking on it </span>
<span>right click on any data point on the plot </span>
<span>left click add trendline </span>
<span>left click the two boxes to display equation on chart and display r^2 </span>
<span>close </span>
<span>right click on the equation that appeared on the plot </span>
<span>left click format trendline label </span>
<span>sent number format to display 8 decimal points </span>

<span>and... TADA.. you have.. </span>
<span>(1).. plotted ln(P/RT) vs time </span>
<span>(2).. fitted the data points with the equation y = -0.00020775x - 4.0986 </span>

<span>meaning.. </span>
<span>k in your rate equation </span>
<span>ln[At] = -kt + ln[Ao] </span>
<span>is... </span>
<span>k = +0.00020775 /s </span>

Use the following information to answer the following question.
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

For these problems, we need to compare the theoretical yield that we'd get from performing stoichiometry to the actual yield stated in the problem. % yield is the actual yield/theoretical yield x 100%  

Cu + 2 AgNO₠→ Cu(NOâ‚)â‚‚ + 2 Ag ==> each mole of copper yields two moles of silver  

12.7-g Cu x ( 1 mol Cu /63.5-g Cu) x ( 2 mol Ag / 1 mol Cu) x (108-g Ag / 1 mol Ag) = 43.2-g Ag. This is the theoretical yield. Now, since we got 38.1-g Ag our % yield is:  

38.1-g/43.2-g x 100% = 88.2%

Coal containing 15.0% H2O, 2.0% S and 83.0% C by mass is burnt with the stoichiometric amount of air in a furnace. What is the m
devlian [24]

Answer:

This is a coal combustion process and we will assume

Inlet coal amount = 100kg

It means that there are

15kg of H2O, 2kg of Sulphur and 83kg of Carbon

Now to find the mole fraction of SO2(g) in the exhaust?

Molar mass of S = 32kg/kmol

Initial moles n  of S = 2/32 = 0.0625kmols

Reaction:  S + O₂ = SO₂

That is 1 mole of S reacts with 1 mole of O₂ to give 1 mole of SO₂

Then, it means for 0.0625 kmoles of S, we will have 0.0625 kmole of SO2 coming out of the exhaust

The mole fraction of SO2(g) in the exhaust=0.0625kmols

Silver is a white metal that is an excellent conductor. Silver tarnishes when exposed to air and light. The density of silver is
Stells [14]

Answer:

c tarnishes in air

Explanation:

After silver has been exposed to air that contains sulphur gases, discoloration would occur. there would be darkening that is caused by the reaction with gases.When any silver object tarnishes, it brings about a disfiguring of that object. Hydrogen sulphide would be needed for this to happen. silver sulphide is black and a if a thin layer should form on any surface, it ill darken it. This  is what we refer to as tarnishing.

What happened as Leah and Isaac moved down the small slope from point C to D?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

As you move down anything, towards the earth, (gravitational) potential energy decreases. This eliminates options B and C.

By the law of conservation of energy, the energy of the system stays the same. However the energy may be converted into different forms. In this case, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy - this is what makes people move faster as they go down the slope. This makes option A wrong and option D right.
