Answer:

e. 22s

Explanation:

Initial Concentration = 100

Final concentration = 15 ( Since the reaction is 85% complete)

Time = 12 minutes = 720 seconds

The integrated rate law for second order reactions is given as;

1 / [A] = (1 / [A]o) + kt

Making k subject of interest, we have;

kt = (1 / [A] ) - (1 / [A]o )

k = (1 / [A] ) - (1 / [A]o ) / t

k = [(1/ 15) - (1 / 100) ] / 720

k = (0.0667 - 0.01 ) / 720

k = 0.0567 / 720

k = 7.875e^-5

How long would it take for the reaction to be 15% complete?

Final concentration = 85 (Since the reaction would be 15% complete)

The integrated rate law for second order reactions is given as;

1 / [A] = (1 / [A]o) + kt

Making t subject of interest, we have;

kt = (1 / [A] ) - (1 / [A]o )

t = (1 / [A] ) - (1 / [A]o ) / k

t = [(1 / 85 ) - (1 / 100) ] / 7.875e^-5

t = (0.0117 - 0.01 ) / 7.875e^-5

t = 0.001765 / 7.875e^-5

t = 22.41 seconds

Corect option = E.

daser333 [38]
Hello! Your question seems incomplete, still I will try to answer it in a general way. As shown in in equation 22 KJ heat is absorbed during the reaction so it is endothermic reaction.

Effect of Temperature:
According to Le Chatelier's principle, by increasing temperature the equilibrium will shift in the forward direction hence more nitrogen and hydrogen will produce.

Effect of Pressure:
It is evident from the reaction that there is an increase in volume in the formation of N2 and H2 (4 moles in whole), Hence, decrease in pressure on this system in equilibrium state will adjust itself in a direction in which the volume is increased i.e. formation of N2 and H2.

Effect of Concentration:
Increasing concentration of NH3, removal of N2 or removal of H2 will shift the equilibrium in forward direction, Hence more product is formed.

Calculate the theoretical yield of iron(III) oxide expected for this reaction if 0.50 mol of iron is reacted with excess oxygen
a_sh-v [17]
When you are dealing with mole calculations, whatever you do to one side of the equation you must also do to the other. .5Fe is 1/8th of 4Fe, so in order to determine what it will yield you must divide the given amount of Fe2O3 and divide THAT by 1/8th, leaving you with .25 mol of Fe2O3.

Why does fluorine have the highest electronegativity
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Because it only needs one more electron to get to a full valence shell (8), so it really wants it and is pulling other electrons in. It also has to do with needing one more electron to fill the 2p shell. It is a small element which means its electrons are pulled tightly to the nucleus.

Hope this helps!

How would a disease that damages the nucleus most directly affect the functioning of cells?
RSB [31]

Answer:

Hereditary information in the cell would be destroyed.

Explanation:

The nucleus can be defined as a membrane bound organelle that is found in eukaryotic cells. The main function of the nucleus is that it controls all activities that is related to the growth of the cell and also reproduction. The nucleus contains the cell hereditary information(DNA).

The nucleus is the most important organelle in the cell, It can sometimes be referred to as the brain of the cell. Therefore any health related condition that affects the nucleus would directly destroy all hereditary information that is stored in the cell.
