For the reaction A+B+C→D+E, the initial reaction rate was measured for various initial concentrations of reactants. The followin

erastovalidia [21]

Answer : The initial rate for a reaction will be $3.4\times 10^{-3}Ms^{-1}$

Explanation :

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$A+B+C\rightarrow D+E$

Rate law expression for the reaction:

$\text{Rate}=k[A]^a[B]^b[C]^c$

where,

a = order with respect to A

b = order with respect to B

c = order with respect to C

Expression for rate law for first observation:

$6.0\times 10^{-5}=k(0.20)^a(0.20)^b(0.20)^c$ ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

$1.8\times 10^{-4}=k(0.20)^a(0.20)^b(0.60)^c$ ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

$2.4\times 10^{-4}=k(0.40)^a(0.20)^b(0.20)^c$ ....(3)

Expression for rate law for fourth observation:

$2.4\times 10^{-4}=k(0.40)^a(0.40)^b(0.20)^c$ ....(4)

Dividing 1 from 2, we get:

$\frac{1.8\times 10^{-4}}{6.0\times 10^{-5}}=\frac{k(0.20)^a(0.20)^b(0.60)^c}{k(0.20)^a(0.20)^b(0.20)^c}\\\\3=3^c\\c=1$

Dividing 1 from 3, we get:

$\frac{2.4\times 10^{-4}}{6.0\times 10^{-5}}=\frac{k(0.40)^a(0.20)^b(0.20)^c}{k(0.20)^a(0.20)^b(0.20)^c}\\\\4=2^a\\a=2$

Dividing 3 from 4, we get:

$\frac{2.4\times 10^{-4}}{2.4\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{k(0.40)^a(0.40)^b(0.20)^c}{k(0.40)^a(0.20)^b(0.20)^c}\\\\1=2^b\\b=0$

Thus, the rate law becomes:

$\text{Rate}=k[A]^2[B]^0[C]^1$

Now, calculating the value of 'k' by using any expression.

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$6.0\times 10^{-5}=k(0.20)^2(0.20)^0(0.20)^1$

$k=7.5\times 10^{-3}M^{-2}s^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the initial rate for a reaction that starts with 0.75 M of reagent A and 0.90 M of reagents B and C.

$\text{Rate}=k[A]^2[B]^0[C]^1$

$\text{Rate}=(7.5\times 10^{-3})\times (0.75)^2(0.90)^0(0.90)^1$

$\text{Rate}=3.4\times 10^{-3}Ms^{-1}$

Therefore, the initial rate for a reaction will be $3.4\times 10^{-3}Ms^{-1}$

Why is water essential to living things? (1 pc

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Living organisms need water to survive. Many scientists even believe that if any extra-terrestrial exists, water must be present in their environments. All oxygen-dependent organisms need water to aid in the respiration process. Some organisms, such as fish, can only breathe in water. Other organisms require water to break down food molecules or generate energy during the respiration process. Water also helps many organisms regulate metabolism and dissolves compounds going into or out of the body.

What causes the jet stream to move farther south?

Anni [7]

<span>Jet streams are the major means of transport for weather systems. A jet stream is an area of strong winds ranging from 120-250 mph that can be thousands of miles long, a couple of hundred miles across and a few miles deep. Jet streams usually sit at the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere at a level called the tropopause. This means most jet streams are about 6-9 miles off the ground. Figure A is a cross section of a jet stream.
</span>

The dynamics of jet streams are actually quite complicated, so this is a very simplified version of what creates jets. The basic idea that drives jet formation is this: a strong horizontal temperature contrast, like the one between the North Pole and the equator, causes a dramatic increase in horizontal wind speed with height. Therefore, a jet stream forms directly over the center of the strongest area of horizontal temperature difference, or the front. As a general rule, a strong front has a jet stream directly above it that is parallel to it. Figure B shows that jet streams are positioned just below the tropopause (the red lines) and above the fronts, in this case, the boundaries between two circulation cells carrying air of different temperatures.
