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
Answer:
2Na+F2 yields 2NaF is balanced.
Explanation:
There are 2 sodium and 2 fluorine in both reactants and product: In 2NaF the 2 is distributed because it is in the beginning of the compound.
<u>Answer:</u> The percent composition by mass of hydrogen in given compound is 6.33 %
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
A chemical compound having chemical formula of 
It is made up by the combination of 1 nitrogen atom, 5 hydrogen atoms, 1 carbon atom and 3 oxygen atoms
To calculate the percentage composition by mass of hydrogen in the compound, we use the equation:

Mass of compound = ![[(1\times 14)+(5\times 1)+(1\times 12)+(3\times 16)]=79g/mol](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%281%5Ctimes%2014%29%2B%285%5Ctimes%201%29%2B%281%5Ctimes%2012%29%2B%283%5Ctimes%2016%29%5D%3D79g%2Fmol)
Mass of hydrogen = 
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the percent composition by mass of hydrogen in given compound is 6.33 %
