Which of the following example(s) from everyday life are made possible by modern chemistry?

For the reaction 2N2O5(g) <---> 4NO2(g) + O2(g), the following data were colected:

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

a) The reaction is first order, that is, order 1. Option C is correct.

b) The half life of the reaction is 23 minutes. Option B is correct

c) The initial rate of production of NO2 for this reaction is approximately = (3.7 × 10⁻⁴) M/min. Option has been cut off.

Explanation:

First of, we try to obtain the order of the reaction from the data provided.

t (minutes) [N2O5] (mol/L)

0 1.24x10-2

10 0.92x10-2

20 0.68x10-2

30 0.50x10-2

40 0.37x10-2

50 0.28x10-2

70 0.15x10-2

Using a trial and error mode, we try to obtain the order of the reaction. But let's define some terms.

C₀ = Initial concentration of the reactant

C = concentration of the reactant at any time.

k = rate constant

t = time since the reaction started

T(1/2) = half life

We Start from the first guess of zero order.

For a zero order reaction, the general equation is

C₀ - C = kt

k = (C₀ - C)/t

If the reaction is indeed a zero order reaction, the value of k we will obtain will be the same all through the set of data provided.

C₀ = 0.0124 M

At t = 10 minutes, C = 0.0092 M

k = (0.0124 - 0.0092)/10 = 0.00032 M/min

At t = 20 minutes, C = 0.0068 M

k = (0.0124 - 0.0068)/20 = 0.00028 M/min

At t = 30 minutes, C = 0.0050 M

k = (0.0124 - 0.005)/30 = 0.00024 M/min

It's evident the value of k isn't the same for the first 3 trials, hence, the reaction isn't a zero order reaction.

We try first order next, for first order reaction

In (C₀/C) = kt

k = [In (C₀/C)]/t

C₀ = 0.0124 M

At t = 10 minutes, C = 0.0092 M

k = [In (0.0124/0.0092)]/10 = 0.0298 /min

At t = 20 minutes, C = 0.0068 M

k = 0.030 /min

At t = 30 minutes, C = 0.0050 M

k = 0.0303

At t = 40 minutes

k = 0.0302 /min

At t = 50 minutes,

k = 0.0298 /min

At t = 60 minutes,

k = 0.031 /min

This shows that the reaction is indeed first order because all the answers obtained hover around the same value.

The rate constant to be taken will be the average of them all.

Average k = 0.0302 /min.

b) The half life of a first order reaction is related to the rate constant through this relation

T(1/2) = (In 2)/k

T(1/2) = (In 2)/0.0302

T(1/2) = 22.95 minutes = 23 minutes.

c) The initial rate of production of the product at the start of the reaction

Rate = kC (first order)

At the start of the reaction C = C₀ = 0.0124M and k = 0.0302 /min

Rate = 0.0302 × 0.0124 = 0.000374 M/min = (3.74 × 10⁻⁴) M/min

Most atoms have no net charge because they have

Ne4ueva [31]

Atoms have no electric charge because the protons and electrons "cancel out" each others charges. Neutrons have no charge. What is the atomic number of an element? The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus.

Hope this helps have a great day :)

Sometimes Combination reaction takes place sometimes decomposition and sometime replacement.. Can someone say me the conditions

Rina8888 [55]

Whenever any substance goes under chemical change so any of the reaction will happen either both or multiple compounds will combine to produce combination reaction either one compound will decompose itself into 2 or more compounds or elements and last one is replacement reaction the either reaction is not even going to combination nor decomposition, So when a reaction like that happens it must replacement reaction.

Now the question is what's the condition required for it, so basically a chemical reaction when takes place it depends upon several factor on the basis of which we conclude products. The factors are Temperature,catalyst,reagents, either what is the mechanism of reaction, stability of reactants and stability of products and alot more.

During reaction sometimes gas forms and sometimes not yea and well that also depends on the chemical reactivity and stability of product sometimes product found itself most stable releasing the gas evolving so it's been done itself and sometimes we add catalyst and adjust the reaction to extract that gas and get desirable product manually.

I wrote all i know if sorry if this is not what you're looking for :(

In caves, dripping groundwater containing calcium bicarbonate can form stalactites and stalagmites. When the water is exposed to

Pepsi [2]

This is a chemical change because there is a new substance that was created and the new chemical can cause other chemical reaction to happen compared to the 1st state of chemical that was in the cave. Because the cave water was exposed to another environment, the calcium bicarbonate, which is also known as salt. When the cave's groundwater was exposed to a different environment the atom in the cave water rearranged and crystallized.
