Reaction rate is expressed in terms of changes in the concentration of reactants and products. Write a balanced equation for the

following rate expression:
Rate = -Δ[CH4] / Δt = -1/2Δ[O2] / Δt = 1/2Δ[H2O] / Δt = Δ[CO2] / Δt

Answer : The balanced equations will be:

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O+CO_2

Explanation :

The general rate of reaction is,

aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The expression for rate of reaction will be :

\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}

\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}

Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}

From this we conclude that,

In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.

The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.

Now we have to determine the balanced equations corresponding to the following rate expressions.

Rate=-\frac{d[CH_4]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}=+\frac{d[CO_2]}{dt}

The balanced equations will be:

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O+CO_2

Which of the following is a chemical change?
FromTheMoon [43]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Silver tarnishing as the silver metal reacts with sulphur is a chemical change.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Tarnishing is the process of chemical change occurring on the surface of objects leading to corrosion or other defects on the surface. The remaining options like dilution, eroding is a physical change where the concentration of salt and rock particles will be decreased, respectively.

Similarly for soil drying also the concentration of water will be decreased leading to a physical change from wetty or dry soil.

But the last option which indicates tarnishing of silver metal on reaction with sulphur is a chemical process as the surface of silver metal will be reacting to sulphur and leads to lose of electrons which leads to corrosion of the surface or tarnishing of silver.

What pressure is exerted by 932.3 g of CH4 in a 0.560 L steel container at 136.2 K?
Roman55 [17]
Molar mass CH4 = 16.0 g/mol

* number of moles:

932.3 / 16 => 58.26875 moles

T = 136.2 K

V = 0.560 L

P = ?

R = 0.082

Use the clapeyron equation:

P x V = n x R x T

P x 0.560 =  58.26875 x 0.082 x 136.2

P x 0.560 = 650.76

P = 650.76 / 0.560

P = 1162.07 atm
