The reaction 2a → a2​​​​​ was experimentally determined to be second order with a rate constant, k, equal to 0.0265 m–1min–1. if

the initial concentration of a was 4.00 m, what was the concentration of a (in m) after 180.0 min?

<span>Answer: 0.199M
</span><span />

<span>Explanation:


</span><span>1) An initial clarification: the unit of the concentration is M (molarity) and not m as it was written in the question (m is used for molality, and that is other unit of concentration).
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
2) Second order reaction means that the rate of reaction is given by:
</span><span />

<span>r = - d[A]/dt = [A]²</span>
<span /><span /><span>
3) By integration you get:
</span><span />

<span>1 / [A] - 1[Ao] = kt
</span><span />

<span>=> 1 / [A] = 1 / [Ao] + kt


</span><span>4) Plug in the data; [Ao] = 4.00M; k = 0.0265 (M⁻¹) (min)⁻¹; t = 180 min</span>
<span /><span>
=> 1 / [A] = 1 / 4.00M + 0.0265 (M⁻¹)(min⁻¹) (180min) = 5.02 (M⁻¹)
</span><span />

<span>=> [A] = 1 / (5.02(M⁻¹) = 0.199 M

The integrated rate law for a second-order reaction is given by:

\frac{1}{[A]t} =   \frac{1}{[A]0} + kt

where, [A]t= the concentration of A at time t,

[A]0= the concentration of A at time t=0

<span>k =</span> the rate constant for the reaction


<u>Given</u>: [A]0= 4 M, k = 0.0265 m–1min–1 and t = 180.0 min


Hence, \frac{1}{[A]t} = \frac{1}{4} + (0.0265 X 180)

<span>                                        = 4.858</span>

<span><span><span>Therefore, [A]</span>t</span>= 0.2058 M.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Answer: C</span>oncentration of A, after 180 min, is 0.2058 M

5.Are pure solids included in equilibrium expressions? Explain your answer.
tatiyna

Answer:

Pure solids or liquids are excluded from the equilibrium expression because their effective concentrations stay constant throughout the reaction. The concentration of a pure liquid or solid equals its density divided by its molar mass.

Explanation:

Hope this helps!!!

Which of the following reactions is the least energetic? Question 18 options: ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi ATP + H2O → AMP + PPi AMP + H
Mama L [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is AMP+H2O→ Adenosine + pi

Explanation:

The above reaction is least energetic because there is no phosphoanhydride bond present with adenosine mono phosphate.Phospho anhydride bond is an energy rich bond.

As a result hydrolysis of AMP generates very little amount of energy in comparison to the hydrolysis of ATP and ADP.

<span>Oil and water don't mix because oil is made up of non-polar molecules while water molecules are polar in nature. Because water molecules are electrically charged, they get attracted to otherwater molecules and exclude the oil molecules. (this is from wiki)</span>

5. Can you determine the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom by looking at the element's average atomic mass and the at
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

No you can't

Explanation:

The atomic number is the amount of protons in element's nucleus, that's one reason why. The second reason is that the atomic mass is protons and neutrons combined, their estimated value, which doesn't show how much neutrons are in an element. It does show combined, but not specifically neutrons
