At 400 K, the rate of decomposition of a gaseous compound initially at a pressure of 12.6 kPa, was 9.71 Pa s-1 when 10.0 per cen

t had reacted and 7.67 Pa s-1 when 20.0 percent had reacted. Determine the order of the reaction.

Answer:

The order of the reaction with respect to the gas = 2

Explanation:

Let the original gas pressure be [G₀]

Initial rate of reaction is given as

r = k [G₀]ⁿ

When 10% had reacted, amount of gas left = [0.9G₀], r = 9.71 Pa/s

r = k [0.9G₀]ⁿ = 9.71 (eqn 1)

when 20% had reacted, amount of gas left = [0.8G₀], r = 7.67 Pa/s

r = k [0.8G₀]ⁿ = 7.67 (eqn 2)

Dividing (eqn 1) by (eqn 2)

(9.71/7.67) = [0.9/0.8]ⁿ

1.266 = 1.125ⁿ

1.125ⁿ = 1.266

Take natural logarithms of both sides

n (In 1.125) = In 1.266

n = 0.236/0.118

n = 2.

What mass of CaSO3 must have been present initially to produce 14.5 L of SO2 gas at a temperature of 12.5°C and a pressure of 1.
german
When the reaction equation is:

CaSO3(s) → CaO(s) + SO2(g)

we can see that the molar ratio between CaSO3 & SO2 is 1:1 so, we need to find first the moles SO2.

to get the moles of SO2 we are going to use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

when P is the pressure =  1.1 atm

and V is the volume = 14.5 L 

n is the moles' number (which we need to calculate)

R ideal gas constant = 0.0821

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 12.5 + 273 = 285.5 K

so, by substitution:

1.1 * 14.5 L = n * 0.0821 * 285.5

∴ n = 1.1 * 14.5 / (0.0821*285.5)

       = 0.68 moles SO2

∴ moles CaSO3 = 0.68 moles

so we can easily get the mass of CaSO3:

when mass = moles * molar mass

and we know that the molar mass of CaSO3= 40 + 32 + 16 * 3 = 120 g/mol


∴ mass = 0.68 moles* 120 g/mol = 81.6 g

RSB [31]
Fungus aren’t plants

Also this is what I found in the internet: „Ferns are plants. They look quite similar with lichens (e.g. Lobaria sp.) and like fungi, they bear spores underneath the fronds. However, ferns do not get nourishment from decaying matter ( some fungi species does) but undergoes photosynthesis like other plants.“

What is subshell and why do we use it if we have main shells already
kumpel [21]
Principal shell shows the main energy level, in that there are some more energy levels. This is how the atomic structure is defined according to the Quantum Mechanical model of atom. So exactly why do subshells exist and all i don't know

33 protons 36 electrons 45 neutrons
Artist 52 [7]

As has an atomic number of 33, so it has 33 protons.  

It has a charge of 3-, so there are three more electrons than protons. Thus, there are 36 electrons.  

It has a mass of 75, which is the sum of neutrons and protons.  

33+n=75 ---> n = 75 - 33 = 42 neutrons  

The answer is e) 33 protons, 42 neutrons and 36 electrons.
