To determine which order of the reaction it is, first we need to calculate the rate of change of moles.
the data is as follows
time 0 40 80 120 160
moles 0.100 0.067 0.045 0.030 0.020
Q1)
for the first 40 s change of moles ;
= -d[A] / t
= - (0.067-0.100)/40s
= 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
for the next 40 s
= -(0.045-0.067)/40
= 5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
the 40 s after that
= -(0.030-0.045)/40 s
= 3.75 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
k - rate constant
and A is the only reactant that affects the rate of the reaction
rate = k [A]ᵇ
8.25 × 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]ᵇ ----1
5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.067 mol]ᵇ -----2
divide the 2nd equation by the 1st equation
1.5 = [1.49]ᵇ
b is almost equal to 1
Therefore this is a first order reaction
Q2)
to find out the rate constant(k), we have to first state the equation for a first order reaction.
rate = k[A]ᵇ
As A is the only reactant thats considered for the rate equation.
Since this is a first order reaction,
b = 1
therefore the reaction is
rate = k[A]
substituting the values,
8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]
k = 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s /0.100mol
= 8.25 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
CaCl2 and KCl are both salts which dissociate in water
when dissolved. Assuming that the dissolution of the two salts are 100 percent,
the half reactions are:
<span>CaCl2 ---> Ca2+ + 2 Cl-</span>
KCl ---> K+ + Cl-
Therefore the total Cl- ion concentration would be coming
from both salts. First, we calculate the Cl- from each salt by using stoichiometric
ratio:
Cl- from CaCl2 = (0.2 moles CaCl2/ L) (0.25 L) (2 moles
Cl / 1 mole CaCl2)
Cl- from CaCl2 = 0.1 moles
Cl- from KCl = (0.4 moles KCl/ L) (0.25 L) (1 mole Cl / 1
mole KCl)
Cl- from KCl = 0.1 moles
Therefore the final concentration of Cl- in the solution
mixture is:
Cl- = (0.1 moles + 0.1 moles) / (0.25 L + 0.25 L)
Cl- = 0.2 moles / 0.5 moles
<span>Cl- = 0.4 moles (ANSWER)</span>
The answer is lower. when there’s a lower temperature the molecules will be moving at a lower speed. a lower speed means less thermal energy.
Scientists expected that the law of conservation of mass would apply to nuclear fission in terms of the masses of the subatomic particles. In reality, the mass of an atom is not equal to the sum of the masses of the subatomic particles that make it up. This is because of the energy that binds the subatomic particles. This energy has mass and when the bond is broken, the mass of the energy of the bonds is lost resulting to what we now cal, a mass defect.
Explanation:
When we add a non-volatile solute in a solvent then due to the impurity added to the solution there will occur an increase in the boiling point of the solution.
This increase in boiling point will be known as elevation in boiling point.
As one beaker contains seawater (water having NaCl) will have some impurity in it. So, more temperature is required by seawater to escape into the atmosphere.
Whereas another beaker has only pure water so it is able to easily escape into the atmosphere since, it contains no impurity.
Thus, we can conclude that level of pure water will decrease more due to non-volatile solute present in it as compared to seawater.
