A second-order reaction has a rate law: rate = k[a]2, where k = 0.150 m−1s−1. If the initial concentration of a is 0.250 m, what

is the concentration of a after 5.00 minutes? Be sure to pay attention to the units in this problem so that they cancel out. G

Rate law for the given 2nd order reaction is:

Rate = k[a]2

Given data:

rate constant k = 0.150 m-1s-1

initial concentration, [a] = 0.250 M

reaction time, t = 5.00 min = 5.00 min * 60 s/s = 300 s

To determine:

Concentration at time t = 300 s i.e. [a]_{t}

Calculations:

The second order rate equation is:

1/[a]_{t} = kt +1/[a]

substituting for k,t and [a] we get:

1/[a]t = 0.150 M-1s-1 * 300 s + 1/[0.250]M

1/[a]t = 49 M-1

[a]t = 1/49 M-1 = 0.0204 M

Hence the concentration of 'a' after t = 5min is 0.020 M

The following boiling points correspond to the substances listed. Match the boiling points to the substances by considering the
Julli [10]

Answer:

CH₄                                - 162 ⁸C

CH₃CH₃                          -88.5 ⁸C

(CH₃)₂ CHCH₂CH₃         28 ⁸C

CH₃3(CH2)₃CH₃             36 ⁸C

CH₃OH                           64.5 ⁸C

CH₃CH₂OH                     78.3 ⁸C

CH₃CHOHCH₃                82.5 ⁸C

C₅H₉OH                         140 ⁸C

C₆H₅CH₂OH                   205 ⁸C

HOCH₂CHOHCH₂OH    290 ⁸C

Explanation:

To answer this question we need first to understand that for organic compounds:

a. Non polar compounds have lower boiling points than polar ones of similar structure and molecular weight.

b. Boiling points increase with molecular weight.  In alkane compounds if we compare  isomers, the  straight chain isomer will have a higher boiling point than the branched one (s) because of London dispersion intermolecular forces.

a. The introduction of hydroxyl groups increase the intermolecular forces and hence the boiling points because the electronegative oxygen, and, more importantly the presence  of hydrogen bonds.

Considering the observations above, we can match the boiling points as follows:

CH₄                                - 162 ⁸C

CH₃CH₃                          -88.5 ⁸C

(CH₃)₂ CHCH₂CH₃         28 ⁸C

CH₃3(CH2)₃CH₃             36 ⁸C

CH₃OH                           64.5 ⁸C

CH₃CH₂OH                     78.3 ⁸C

CH₃CHOHCH₃                82.5 ⁸C

C₅H₉OH                         140 ⁸C

C₆H₅CH₂OH                   205 ⁸C

HOCH₂CHOHCH₂OH    290 ⁸C

Note: There was a mistake in the symbols used for the  162 and 88.5 values which are negative and correspond to the common gases methane and ethane

Why can't methanol, CH3OH, be used as a solvent for sodium amide, NaNH2? Sodium amide is nonpolar and methanol is polar. Sodium
Elodia [21]

Answer: sodium amide undergoes an acid -base reaction

Explanation:

sodium amide is a ionic compound and basically exists as sodium cation and amide anion. Amide anion is highly basic in nature and hence as soon as  there is amide anion generated in the solution , Due to its very pronounced acidity it very quickly abstracts the slightly acidic proton available on methanol.

This leads to formation of ammonia and sodium methoxide.

Hence sodium amide reacts with methanol and abstracts its only acidic proton and form ammonia and sodium Methoxide.

Hence the 3rd statement is a corrects statement.

So we cannot use methanol for sodium amide because sodium amide itself would react with methanol and the inherent molecular natur of sodium amide would then change.

The 1st and 2nd statements both are incorrect because both the compounds methanol as well as sodium amide have dipole moments and hence are polar molecules.

The 4th statement is also incorrect as both the molecules have dipole moment and hence there would be ion-dipole forces operating between them.

The following reaction occurs:

NaNH₂+CH₃OH→NH₃+CH₃ONa
