Choose the rate law that describes this reaction: Rate = k (PH3)

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

The kinetics of the decomposition of phosphine at 950 K was followed by measuring the total pressure in the system as a function of time. The data to the right were obtained in a run where the reaction chamber contained only pure phosphine at the start of the reaction. Choose the rate law that describes this reaction

Phosphine is the compound with the chemical formula PH3. It is a colorless, flammable, toxic gas. PH3 have the density, 1.379 g/l, gas (25 °C)

The chemical equation of PH3 is:

4PH3(g)  →   P4(g) + 6H2(g)

At t=0, there was only PH3, therefore:

P_{total} = P_{PH3} = 100 torr  

At t=40 min, we need to use the ICF chart (attached below) to determine the pressure of PH3.

At t=40 min, total system pressure is 151 torr

100-4x+x+6x = 151\\3x = 151\\x = 17

The pressure of PH3 at t=40 is

P_{PH3} =100 torr-4*17 torr

P_{PH3} = 32 torr

At t=80 min, total system pressure is 168 torr,

100-4x+x+6x = 168\\3x = 68\\x = 22.7

Therefore, pressure of PH3 at t=80 is:

P_{PH3} =100 torr-4x* torr

P_{PH3} = 100 torr-4*22.7 torr = 9.2 torr

At t=100 min, total system pressure is 171 torr

100-4x+x+6x = 171\\3x = 71\\x = 23.7

Then the pressure of PH3 at t=100 is:

P_{PH3} =100 torr-4x torr

P_{PH3} = 100 torr-4*23.7 torr = 5.2 torr

Then we can  plot the pressure against time in a line graph (attached below)

Therefore we found that the first order shows the most linear relationship between pressure and time and then the dissociation of Phosphine is in the first order (attached below)

Therefore the rate law is:  Rate = k (PH3)

good luck with that. I thought I had it, but it was not right.

Match each term to its description.
stepladder [879]

Based on ecological studies, the definitions below applies to the given terms:

  • Peak phenomena: this is when a population grows at a fast rate, then quickly drops when the resources run out
  • Biological surplus: this occurs when there are more organisms in a population than the ecosystem can sustain
  • Climax community: this is a point in an ecosystem when all populations reach a point of little or no change
  • Sigmoid phenomena: this is when a population increases while food and habitat are abundant and decreases as food becomes less available

<h3>What is ecology and what are some terms in ecology?</h3>

Ecology is the study of living things and their interactions with their environment.

Some terms in ecology include:

  • Peak phenomena: this is when a population grows at a fast rate, then quickly drops when the resources run out
  • Biological surplus: this occurs when there are more organisms in a population than the ecosystem can sustain
  • Climax community: this is a point in an ecosystem when all populations reach a point of little or no change
  • Sigmoid phenomena: this is when a population increases while food and habitat are abundant and decreases as food becomes less available
