The decomposition reaction of N2O5 in carbon tetrachloride is 2N2O5−→−4NO2+O2. The rate law is first order in N2O5. At 64 °C the

rate constant is 4.82×10−3s−1. (a) Write the rate law for the reaction. (b) What is the rate of reaction when [N2O5]=0.0240M? (c) What happens to the rate when the concentration of N2O5 is doubled to 0.0480 M? (d) What happens to the rate when the concentration of N2O5 is halved to 0.0120 M?

Answer:

a) r = 4.82x10⁻³*[N2O5]

b) 1.16x10⁻⁴ M/s

c) The rate is doubled too (2.32x10⁻⁴ M/s)

d) The rate is halved too (5.78x10⁻⁴ M/s)

Explanation:

a) The rate law of a generic reaction (A + B → C + D) can be expressed by:

r = k*[A]ᵃ*[B]ᵇ

Where k is the rate constant, [X] is the concentration of the compound X, and a and b are the coefficients of the reaction (which can be different from the ones of the chemical equation).

In this case, there is only one reactant, and the reaction is first order, which means that a = 1. So, the rate law is:

r = k*[N2O5]

r = 4.82x10⁻³*[N2O5]

b) Substituing the value of the concentration in the rate law:

r = 4.82x10⁻³*0.0240

r = 1.16x10⁻⁴ M/s

c) When [N2O5] = 0.0480 M,

r = 4.82x10⁻³*0.0480

r = 2.32x10⁻⁴ M/s

So, the rate is doubled too.

d) When [N2O5] = 0.0120 M,

r = 4.82x10⁻³*0.0120

r = 5.78x10⁻⁴ M/s

So, the rate is halved too.

Answer:

(a) rate =  4.82 x 10⁻³s⁻¹  [N2O5]

(b) rate =   1.16 x 10⁻⁴  M/s

(c) rate =   2.32 x 10⁻⁴ M/s

(d) rate =   5.80 x 10⁻⁵ M/s

Explanation:  

We are told the rate law is first order in N₂O₅, and its rate constant is 4.82 x 10⁻³s⁻¹ . This means the rate is proportional to the molar concentration   of   N₂O₅, so

(a) rate = k [N2O5] = 4.82 x 10⁻³s⁻¹ x [N2O5]

(b) rate = 4.82×10⁻³s⁻¹  x 0.0240 M =  1.16 x 10⁻⁴ M/s

(c) Since the reaction is first order if the concentration of  N₂O₅ is double the rate will double too:  2 x   1.16 x 10⁻⁴ M/s = 2.32 x 10⁻⁴ M/s

(d) Again since the reaction is halved to 0.0120 M, the rate will be halved to

1.16 x 10⁻⁴ M/s / 2 =  5.80 x 10⁻⁵ M/s

goldenfox [79]
I believe D. because all the organisms that live in a lake can be a bunch of living things that would be considered a population and not a species. I canceled out B. from the get go because, I don’t believe non living organisms can be in a population ?

Please get back to me if I’m right or wrong :)
