The frequency factors for these two reactions are very close to each other in value. Assuming that they are the same, compute the ratio of the reaction rate constants for these two reactions at 25°C.

$\frac{K_1}{K_2}=?$

Activation energy of the reaction 1 , $Ea_1$ = 14.0 kJ/mol

Activation energy of the reaction 2, $Ea_1$ = 11.9 kJ/mol

Answer:

0.4284 is the ratio of the rate constants.

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius equation,

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

The expression used with catalyst and without catalyst is,

$\frac{K_2}{K_1}=\frac{A\times e^{\frac{-Ea_2}{RT}}}{A\times e^{\frac{-Ea_1}{RT}}}$

$\frac{K_2}{K_1}=e^{\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}}$

where,

$K_2$ = rate constant reaction -1

$K_1$ = rate constant reaction -2

Activation energy of the reaction 1 , $Ea_1$ = 14.0 kJ/mol = 14,000 J

Activation energy of the reaction 2, $Ea_1$ = 11.9 kJ/mol = 11,900 J

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/ mol K

T = temperature = $25^oC=273+25=298 K$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$\frac{K_1}{K_2}=e^{\frac{11,900- 14,000Jl}{8.314 J/mol K\times 298 K}}=2.3340$

0.4284 is the ratio of the rate constants.

Explain why the pbcl2 dissolved when water was added

lara [203]

PbCl2 would not dissolve because it is insoluble based on the solubility rules for substances that will dissolve in water. This compound would instead form a solid precipitate at the bottom of the container.

The element Osminum has a density of 22.6 g/cm3. the mass of a block of Osmium with three sides of 1.01cmx0.223 cm x 0.648 cm is

Alika [10]

Volume of osmium = 1.01(0.223)(0.648) = 0.14595 cm3

Density = mass / volume
So density x volume = mass of osmium
22.6 x 0.14595 = 3.29845 g
