Suppose a compound is involved in three different reactions denoted R1, R2, and R3. Tripling the concentration of this reactant

in all three reactions causes the rates of reaction to increase by factors of 3, 9, and 1, respectively. What is the order of each reaction with respect to this reactant? 1. R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

Answer:

The order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

Explanation:

The rate of a chemical reaction is the number of moles of reactants consumed per unit time or the number of moles of products formed per unit. the rate of a chemical reaction is affected by the concentration of reactants

The relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of its reactants is given by the rate law or equation.

Generally, the rate equation is given as;

Rate = k[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ..., where k = rate constant which is independent of concentration of the reactants, [A] = concentration of reactant A, a = order of reaction A, [B] = concentration of reaction B, b = order of reaction B.

For the given reactions R1, R2 and R3

For R1; rate = 3, Concentration = 3[A]

3 = k[A]3ˣ

3¹ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 1

For R2; rate = 9, Concentration = 3[A]

9 = k[A]3ˣ

3² = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 2

For R1; rate = 1, Concentration = 3[A]

1 = k[A]3ˣ

3⁰ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 0

Therefore, the order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

What causes water to become denser when it is carried to the poles by surface currents? increased temperature and increased sali
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The answer is decreased temperature and increased salinity

Explanation:

It is what is known as the thermohaline circulation

The thermohaline circulation moves the water slowly. This water moves mainly due to differences in its relative density. Much denser water sinks over water that is less dense. Two factors impact the density of seawater: temperature and salinity.

Cold water is denser than hot water:

-Water cools when it loses heat, it occurs at high latitudes.

-Water is heated when it receives energy from the sun, at low latitudes.

Saltier water is much denser than water that has less salt:

-Sea water becomes salty if the evaporation rate increases.

-Sea water becomes less salty if there is a water inlet over the sea.

Could volume by displacement be used to determine the volume of a lump of rock salt? Explain would be nice
Readme [11.4K]

Yes it could, but you'd have to set up the process very carefully.
I see two major challenges right away:

1).  Displacement of water would not be a wise method, since rock salt
is soluble (dissolves) in water.  So as soon as you start lowering it into
your graduated cylinder full of water, its volume would immediately start
to decrease.  If you lowered it slowly enough, you might even measure
a volume close to zero, and when you pulled the string back out of the
water, there might be nothing left on the end of it.

So you would have to choose some other fluid besides water ... one in
which rock salt doesn't dissolve.  I don't know right now what that could
be.  You'd have to shop around and find one.

2).  Whatever fluid you did choose, it would also have to be less dense
than rock salt.  If it's more dense, then the rock salt just floats in it, and
never goes all the way under.  If that happens, then you have a tough
time measuring the total volume of the lump.

So the displacement method could perhaps be used, in principle, but
it would not be easy.
