Answer:

The answer to your question is Scaling factor = 5

Explanation:

Data

Empirical formula CH₂O

molar mass = 150 g/mol

Empirical formula is a chemical formula that shows the simplest proportions of the elements of that formula.

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of the Empirical formula

CH₂O = (12 x 1) + (2 x 1) + (16 x 1)

= 12 + 2 + 16

= 30 g

2.- Divide the molar mass of the molecular formula by the molar mass of the empirical formula.

150g / 30g = 5 Scaling factor = 5

3.- Molecular formula

5(CH₂O) = C₅H₁₀O₅

The above reaction is run and found to follow second order kinetics with a rate constant of 1.30 x 10-3 M-1sec-1. If the initial

Leya [2.2K]

The final concentration after 172 seconds is 1.15 M. To obtain this answer, use the the integrated rate law for the order of reaction. Based on the problem, this is a second order reaction. The units of the rate constant also support that it is a second order reaction.

Further Explanation:

The solution to this problem is straightforward.

Identify the integrated rate law for the corresponding order of reaction.
Substitute the given values into the integrated rate law equation.
Use algebra to solve for the unknown, C(f).

STEP 1: Since the reaction is a second order reaction, the integrated rate law will be:

$\frac{1}{C_{f}} = \ kt \ + \frac{1}{C_{i}}$

where:

C(f) is the final concentration

k is the rate constant

t is the time

C(i) is the initial concentration

STEP 2: Plugging in the values given in the problem into the equation, the following equation should be obtained:

$\frac{1}{C_{f}} \ = (1.30 \ x \ 10^{-3} \frac{ \ 1 }{ \ M-s})(172 \ s) \ + \ \frac{1}{1.54 \ M} \\$

STEP 3: Using algebra to solve for C(f):

$\frac{1}{C_{f}} = \ 0.87295\\ \\C_{f} = \ 1.14554 \ M$

Since the given values only have 3 significant figures, the final answer must be expressed with 3 significant figures as well.

Therefore,

$\boxed {C_{f}\ = \ 1.15 \ M}$

How can we increase the rate of collisions between the reactants in this reaction?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

According to the collision theory, we can increase the rate of a reaction by increasing the concentration of reactants. We can also increase the rate of a reaction by increasing temperature to safe levels.

In the reaction mentioned in the question, Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2, if we increase the amount of magnesium or HCl, the reaction will proceed faster. Similarly, if we increase the temperature, then also the reaction rate will increase.
