Answer:

D) 2.3 x 10⁻¹ s⁻¹

Explanation:

The rate constant is related to the activation energy through the formula:

k= Ae^(-Eₐ /RT)

where A is the collision factor, Eₐ the activation energy, R is the gas constant ( 8.314 J/Kmol ) , and T is the temperature (K)

So a plot of lnk versus 1/T ( Arrehenius plot ) gives us a straight line with slope equal -Eₐ/R and intercept lnA

lnk = -(Eₐ/T)(1/T) + lnA

which has the form y= mx + b

In this problem, we can use the data provided to:

a) Using a calculator determine the slope and intercept and then calculate the value of rate constant at 320 ºC, or

b) Plot the data and determine the equation of the best line , and answer the question for k @ 320 ºC by reading the value from the plot.

Once you do the plot, the resulting equation is:

y = - 19 x 10³ x + 30,582 ( R² = 0.999 )

So for T = 320 + 273 K = 593 K

Y = 19 x 10³ X + 30.58

So for T = (320 + 273)K = 593 K

Y =  -19 x 10³ ( 1/593) + 30.58 = -32.04 +30.58 = - 1.46

and then since

y = lnk ⇒ e^y = k

k= e^-1.46 = 2.3 x 10⁻¹ s⁻¹

Note: there is an error of transcription in the value for T = 472.1 ( 1/T = 2.118 x 10⁻³  and  not 2.228 x 10⁻³). You can  recognize this mistake if you plot the data and notice it produces an outlier.

La masa de una olla es de 300g y contiene 90% de aluminio. Hallar el número de moles de aluminio de la olla. P.A.(Al= 27)
Neko [114]

Explanation:

The mass of a pot is 300g and contains 90% aluminum. Find the number of moles of aluminum in the pot. P.A. (Al = 27)

The mass of aluminum present in the pot is:

300 g * 90/100\\=270 g

Hence, in the given pot 270g Al is present.

Number of moles of Al=\frac{given mass ofAl}{its molar mass}

The gram atomic mass of Al -27 g/mol

Given the mass of Al is 270 g

Substitute these values in the above formula:

Number of moles of Al=\frac{given mass ofAl}{its molar mass}\\=\frac{270 g}{27 g} \\=10.0 mol

Answer is 10.0 mol of Al is present.

Which of the following groups have seven valence electrons and are very reactive?
valina [46]

Answer:

Column 17 halogens

Explanation:

To answer the question we need to know the following;

What are valence electrons?

  • Valence electrons are outermost electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom of any element.

What are halogens?

  • Halogens are group 7 elements that have seven valence electrons. They include, chlorine, fluorine, iodine, etc

What is the reactivity of halogens?

  • Halogens are the most reactive non-metals in the periodic table. They react by gaining one electron to attain a stable configuration.

The age of fossils can sometimes be determined by radiometric dating, which is based on the constant rate of decay of radioactiv
True [87]
The age of the fossil given the present amount of Carbon-14 is given in the equation,
                               A(t) = A(o)(0.5)^t/h
where A(t) is the current amount, A(o) is the initial amount, t is time and h is the half-life. Substituting the known values to the equation,
                       A(t) / A(o) = 0.125 = (0.5)^(t/5730)
The value of t from the equation is 17190.
Thus, the age of the fossil is mostly likely to be 17190 years old.
