Answer:

a) V air/day = 8640 L air  an adult breaths / day

b) 0.0181 L CO intake a person / day

Explanation:

a) one average person has 12 breaths for min:

  • P = 12 breath/min

in each breath it take an average  of 500 mL on air.

  • 1 breath ≅ 500 mL air

⇒ 12 breath / min * 500mL air / breath = 6000 mL air / min

the average air volume per day of a person is:

⇒ Vair/day = 6000 mL air / min * (60 min / h) * ( 24 h / day ) = 8640000 mLair / day * ( L / 1000 mL)

⇒ V air / day = 8640 L / day

b) 2.1 E-6 L CO / L air * 8640 L air / day = 0.0181 L CO / day

What is the reaction which a metal element displaces the metal atom of a compound?
Marina86 [1]

A single replacement reaction, sometimes called a single displacement reaction, is a reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound. The starting materials are always pure elements, such as a pure zinc metal or hydrogen gas, plus an aqueous compound.

How many moles of hydrogen gas will be produced if 5.00 moles of zinc reactions with an excess amount of sulfuric acid
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Moles of Hydrogen produced is 5 moles

Explanation:

The balanced Chemical equation for reaction between zinc and sulfuric acid is :

Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)

This equation tells that ; when  1 mole of Zn react with 1 mole of sulfuric acid, it produces 1 mole of zinc sulfate and 1 mole of hydrogen.

Since sulfuric acid is in excess so Zinc is the limiting reagent

(Limiting reagent : Substance which get consumed when the reaction completes, limiting reagent helps in predicting the amount of products formed)

Limiting reagent (Zn) will decide the amount of Hydrogen produced

Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)

1\ mole\ zinc\rightarrow 1\ mole\ H_{2}

So,

5\ mole\ zinc\rightarrow 5\ mole\ H_{2}

Hence moles of Hydrogen produced is 5 moles

The iodide ion reacts with hypochlorite ion (the active ingredient in chlorine bleaches) in the following way:
LiRa [457]

Explanation:

(a)  As the given chemical reaction equation is as follows.

           OCl^{-} + I^{-} \rightarrow OI^{-1} + Cl^{-1}

So, when we double the amount of hypochlorite or iodine then the rate of the reaction will also get double. And, this reaction is "first order" with respect to hypochlorite and iodine.

Hence, equation for rate law of reaction will be as follows.

              Rate = K \times [OCl^{-}] \times [l^{-}]

(b)  Since, the rate equation is as follows.

                    Rate = K [OCl^{-}][l^{-}]

Let us assume that ([OCl^{-}] = [l^{-}])

Putting the given values into the above equation as follows.

             1.36 \times 10^{-4} = K \times (1.5 \times 10^{-3})^2

            1.36 \times 10^{-4} = K \times (2.25 \times 10^{-6})

                   K = \frac{1.36 \times 10^{-4}}{2.25 \times 10^{-6}}

                      = 60.4 M^{-1}sec^{-1}

Hence, the value of rate constant for the given reaction is 60.4 M^{-1}sec^{-1} .

(c) Now, we will calculate the rate as follows.

                Rate = K [OCl^{-}][l^{-}]

                         = 60.4 \times (1.8 \times 10^{3}) \times (6.0 \times 10^{4})

                        = 6.52 \times 10^{5}

Therefore, rate when [OCl^{-}] = 1.8 \times 10^{3} M and [I^{-}]= 6.0 \times 10^{4} M is  6.52 \times 10^{5}.
