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
</span><span>

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

What substance takes part in an enzymatic reaction, but is unchanged by the reaction?
Ierofanga [76]
The answer to this question would be: enzyme 

<span>Enzyme is a kind of catalyst that </span>will take part in the chemical reaction but it won't be reacted. E<span>nzyme </span>only helps by reducing the energy needed to start the reaction.
Theoretically, the enzyme is not mandatory needed but if you have an enzyme the reaction will be easier, thus increasing reaction speed. But in most case, the reaction might be too slow without enzyme, making enzyme vital in living organism.

3. How many atoms are found in 5.20 g of magnesium (Mg)?
Ganezh [65]

Explanation:

In order to go from mass of magnesium to atoms of magnesium, we have to do two things:

   Convert mass of Mg to moles of Mg using the molar mass of Mg as a conversion factor

   Convert moles of Mg to atoms of Mg using Avogadro's number (6.02×1023) as a conversion factor

Step 1:

Before we start, I should note that the molar mass of Mg is 24.31gmol. We can go from mass to moles using dimensional analysis. The key to dimensional analysis is understanding that the units that you don't need any more cancel out, leaving the units that are desired:

48.60g

×1mol24.31g

=2.00mol

Step 2:

We'll use this relationship:

www.sprinklernewz.uswww.sprinklernewz.us

Using the moles of Mg that we just obtained, we can use Avogrado's number to perform dimensional analysis in order to cancel out units of mol to end up with atoms of Mg:

2.00mol

×6.02×1023atoms1mol

=1.204×1024atoms

Thus, 48.60g of Mg is equivalent to 1.204×1024atoms

Hope this helped :)

ANSWER QUICK PLEASE AND THANK YOU

One oxygen atom shares two electron with two hydrogen atoms in this way water molecules are formed. The bond between oxygen and hydrogen is covalent bond.

<h3>What is covalent bond ?</h3>

An electron exchange that results in the formation of electron pairs between atoms is known as a covalent bond. Bonding pairs or sharing pairs are the names given to these electron pairs.

Covalent bonding is the stable equilibrium of the attractive and repulsive forces between atoms when they share electrons.

According to the amount of shared electron pairs, there are three different forms of covalent bonds. single covalent bond is one type of covalent bond. covalent double bond and covalent triple bond.

Thus, option B is correct .
