The activation energy for a reaction is changed from 184 kJ/mol to 59.0 kJ/mol at 600. K by the introduction of a catalyst. If t

Answer:

The catalyzed reaction will take 2.85 seconds to occur.

Explanation:

The activation energy of a reaction is given by:

$k = Ae^{-\frac{E_{a}}{RT}}$

For the reaction without catalyst we have:

$k_{1} = Ae^{-\frac{E_{a_{1}}}{RT}}$ (1)

And for the reaction with the catalyst:

$k_{2} = Ae^{-\frac{E_{a_{2}}}{RT}}$ (2)

Assuming that frequency factor (A) and the temperature (T) are constant, by dividing equation (1) with equation (2) we have:

$\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = \frac{Ae^{-\frac{E_{a_{1}}}{RT}}}{Ae^{-\frac{E_{a_{2}}}{RT}}}$

$\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = e^{\frac{E_{a_{2}} - E_{a_{1}}}{RT}$

$\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = e^{\frac{59.0 \cdot 10^{3}J/mol - 184 \cdot 10^{3} J/mol}{8.314 J/Kmol*600 K} = 1.31 \cdot 10^{-11}$

Since the reaction rate is related to the time as follow:

$k = \frac{\Delta [R]}{t}$

And assuming that the initial concentrations ([R]) are the same, we have:

$\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = \frac{\Delta [R]/t_{1}}{\Delta [R]/t_{2}}$

$\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = \frac{t_{2}}{t_{1}}$

$t_{2} = t_{1}\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = 6900 y*1.31 \cdot 10^{-11} = 9.04 \cdot 10^{-8} y*\frac{365 d}{1 y}*\frac{24 h}{1 d}*\frac{3600 s}{1 h} = 2.85 s$

Therefore, the catalyzed reaction will take 2.85 seconds to occur.

I hope it helps you!

How many particles are there in 5.0 moles

grigory [225]

Answer:

3.01 × 10^24 particles

Explanation:

According to Avagadro, in one mole of a substance, there are 6.02 × 10^23 atoms or particles.

Using the formula: N = n × NA

Where;

N= number of particles or atoms

n = number of moles

NA = Avagadro's constant or number

This means that for 5 moles of a substance, there will be:

5 × 6.02 × 10^23

= 30.1 × 10^23

= 3.01 × 10^24 particles

When 8.21 l of c3h8 (g) burn in oxygen, how many liters of oxygen are consumed? all gas volumes are measured at the same tempera

just olya [345]

<span>8.21 L of C3H8(g) Lets take c as the molar volume at that temperature.
c L <><> 5c L
C3H8 (g) + 5O2 (g) --> 3CO2 + 4H2O + Q
8.21 L <><> x L
x = (8.21 * 5c)/c = 8.21 * 5 = 41.05 L O2 consumed for a 100% yield.</span>

Answer:

half lives passed=5

given sample=90g

sample left=2.8125g

Explanation:

no. of half lives=total time/half life

no.=19days/3.8days

no.=5 days

after 5 half lives sample left=2.8125g
