The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the initial rate for the formation of C at 25°C, if [A]=0.50 M and [B]=0.075 M. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.Consider the reaction

A + 2B ⇔ C

whose rate at 25°C was measured using three different sets of initial concentrations as listed in the following table:

The table is attached below as an image.

<u>Answer:</u> The initial rate for the formation of C at 25°C is 2.25\times 10^{-2}Ms^{-1}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

A+2B\rightleftharpoons C

Rate law expression for the reaction:

\text{Rate}=k[A]^a[B]^b

where,

a = order with respect to A

b = order with respect to B

  • Expression for rate law for first trial:

5.4\times 10^{-3}=k(0.30)^a(0.050)^b ....(1)

  • Expression for rate law for second trial:

1.1\times 10^{-2}=k(0.30)^a(0.100)^b ....(2)

  • Expression for rate law for third trial:

2.2\times 10^{-2}=k(0.50)^a(0.050)^b ....(3)

Dividing 2 by 1, we get:

\frac{1.1\times 10^{-2}}{5.4\times 10^{-3}}=\frac{(0.30)^a(1.00)^b}{(0.30)^a(0.050)^b}\\\\2=2^b\\b=1

Dividing 3 by 1, we get:

\frac{2.2\times 10^{-2}}{5.4\times 10^{-3}}=\frac{(0.50)^a(0.050)^b}{(0.30)^a(0.050)^b}\\\\4.07=2^a\\a=2

Thus, the rate law becomes:

\text{Rate}=k[A]^2[B]^1       ......(4)

Now, calculating the value of 'k' by using any expression.

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

5.4\times 10^{-3}=k[0.30]^2[0.050]^1\\\\k=1.2M^{-2}s^{-1}

Calculating the initial rate of formation of C by using equation 4, we get:

k=1.2M^{-2}s^{-1}

[A] = 0.50 M

[B] = 0.075 M

Putting values in equation 4, we get:

\text{Rate}=1.2\times (0.50)^2\times (0.075)^1\\\\\text{Rate}=2.25\times 10^{-2}Ms^{-1}

Hence, the initial rate for the formation of C at 25°C is 2.25\times 10^{-2}Ms^{-1}

Question 4<br> Calculate the nlass of 7.1 x 1024 formula units of magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH),.
faust18 [17]

its me again this is how you find the answer. note: i dont have the periodic table to see the exact atomic mass to find the molar mass however this is the answer:

so the actual formula is Mg(OH) with a 2 as a subscript because there are 2 Mg. so with Mg(OH)2 the Molar mass is 58.32g/mol. 58.32 g/mol x 7.1x1024 = 4.1x1026g
