The rate constant of the elementary reaction CH3OCH3(g) CH4(g) +CH2O(g) is k = 8.33×10-6 s-1 at 427°C, and the reaction has an a

ctivation energy of 245 kJ mol-1. (a) Compute the rate constant of the reaction at a temperature of 545°C. s-1 (b) At a temperature of 427°C, 8.32×104 s is required for half of the CH3OCH3 originally present to be consumed. How long will it take to consume half of the reactant if an identical experiment is performed at 545°C?

Answer:

(a) The rate constant is 3.61×10^-3 s^-1

(b) 7.12×10^4 s

Explanation:

(a) Log (K2/K1) = Ea/2.303R × [1/T1 - 1/T2]

K1 = 8.33×10^-6 s^-1

Ea = 245 kJ = 245,000 J

R = 8.314 J/mol.K

T1 = 427°C = 427+273 = 700 K

T2 = 545°C = 546+273 = 818 K

Log (K2/8.33×10^-6) = 245,000/2.303 × [1/700 - 1/818]

Log (K2/8.33×10^-6) = 2.637

K2/8.33×10^-6 = 10^2.637

K2 = 8.33×10^-6 × 433.51 = 3.61×10^-3 s^-1

(b) The relationship between temperature and the time required for reactants to be consumed is inverse

t2 = T1t1/T2

T1 = 427 °C = 700 K

t1 = 8.32×10^4 s

T2 = 545 °C = 818 K

t2 = 700×8.32×10^4/818 = 7.12×10^4 s

What is the chemical formula for zinc phosphate?
solong [7]
First, we have to find the chemical formula for zinc ion and phosphate ion.

Zinc ion is a cation, and its formula is Zn^2+,
This is because zinc atom requires 2 outer shell electrons to be removed in order to become stable.

On the other hand, phosphate ion is a anion, and its formula is PO4^3-.

In order to find the chemical formula of this ionic bond, we need to make sure their charges are balanced.

To do this, take 2+ and 3-, their least common multiple is 6, so in order to turn both charges into 6+ and 6-, we need to determine how many of that ion is needed.

So to make 2+ to 6+, we need 3 zinc ions ( +2 x 3 = 6).
And to make 3- to 6-, we need 2 phosphate ions (-3 x 2 = - 6).

Now we can just combine the chemical formulas with the number of that ion needed (you can ignore the charge)
Therefore, your answer should be Zn3(PO4)2.
