The balanced chemical equation for the formation of methane from carbon and hydrogen is,
                              C + 2H2 --> CH4
This suggests that every 12 grams of C needs 4 grams of H in order to produce 16 grams of methane. 
       0.05 grams of hydrogen (H2) x (16 grams methane / 4 grams H) = 0.2 grams of methane. 
  
      1.20 grams carbon x (16 grams carbon / 12 grams of C) = 1.6 grams methane

We take the lower amount of carbon. Thus, the reaction will produce approximately 0.2 grams methane.

When the concentration of A in the reaction A ..... B was changed from 1.20 M to 0.60 M, the half-life increased from 2.0 min to
Reika [66]

Answer:

2

0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}

Explanation:

Half-life

{t_{1/2}}A=2\ \text{min}

{t_{1/2}}B=4\ \text{min}

Concentration

{[A]_0}_A=1.2\ \text{M}

{[A]_0}_B=0.6\ \text{M}

We have the relation

t_{1/2}\propto \dfrac{1}{[A]_0^{n-1}}

So

\dfrac{{t_{1/2}}_A}{{t_{1/2}}_B}=\left(\dfrac{{[A]_0}_B}{{[A]_0}_A}\right)^{n-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{4}=\left(\dfrac{0.6}{1.2}\right)^{n-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{n-1}

Comparing the exponents we get

1=n-1\\\Rightarrow n=2

The order of the reaction is 2.

t_{1/2}=\dfrac{1}{k[A]_0^{n-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{t_{1/2}[A]_0^{n-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{2\times 1.2^{2-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}

The rate constant is 0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}

Notice that "SO4" appears in two different places in this chemical equation. SO42− is a polyatomic ion called "sulfate." What nu
vichka [17]

Answer:

3.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is convenient to write the chemical reaction as:

CaSO_4+AlCl_3\rightarrow CaCl_2+Al_2(SO_4)_3

Which balanced turns out:

3CaSO_4+2AlCl_3\rightarrow 3CaCl_2+Al_2(SO_4)_3

Thus the number that should be in front of the calcium sulfate is 3 in order to balance the reaction.

Best regards.

The decomposition of dinitrogen pentaoxide has an activation energy of 102 kj/mol and \delta ? h°rxn = + 55 kj/mol. what is the
posledela
A positive cahnge of enthalpy, ΔH rxn = + 55 kJ/mol, for the forward reaction means that the reaction is endothermic, i.e. the reactants absorb energy and the products are higher in energy.

Activation energy is the difference in the energy level of the reactants and the peak in the potential energy diagram (the energy of the transition state).

For an endothermic reaction, the products will be closer in energy to the transition state than what the reactans will be; so, the activation energy of the reversed reaction is lower than the activation energy of the forward reaction.

Activation energy of reverse and forward reactions is related by:

Activation energy of reverse rxn = Activation energy of forward rxn - ΔH rxn

=> Activiation energy of reverse rxn = 102 kJ/mol - 55 kJ/mol = 47 kJ/mol

Answer: 47 kJ/mol

An average bushel of apples has a mass of 10 kg and contains 5 dozen apples.
Alina [70]

Answer:

Average mass of 6 apple  = 1 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Average mass of 5 dozen apple = 10 kg

Find:

Average mass of 6 apple

Computation:

Average mass of 6 apple  = [Average mass of 1 apple] x [6 apple]

Average mass of 6 apple  = [10/(12 x 5)] x [6]

Average mass of 6 apple  = 1 kg
