Answer:3480s⁻¹

Explanation:We can solve the following problem using the Arrhenius equation.

Arrhenius equation is given by:

K=Aexp[-Ea/RT]

A=Pre-exponential factor or frequency factor

Ea=Activation energy

R=Ideal gas constant

T=Temperature

K=Rate constant

From the Arrhenius equation we can see that  the rate constant K is related with the activation energy and frequency factor.

In the question we are given with the following data:

Ea=42KJ/mol=42x 1000 J/mol

A=8.0×10¹ per second

T=298K

R=8.314J/K mol

when we substitute these given values in Arrhenius equation

K=A{exp[-Ea \div RT]}\\K=8\ \times10^{10} s^{-1}{exp[-42000\div 8.314\times298]}\\K=8\ \times10^{10} s^{-1}{exp[-16.95]}\\K=4.35\times10^{^{-8}}\times8.0\times10^{^{10}}s^{-1}\\K=34.8\times10^{2}s^{-1}\\

K=3480s⁻¹

The value of rate constant obtained is 3480s⁻¹.

A. Convert the mass of the Salt weighed out to fg.
omeli [17]

Answer:

6.564×10¹⁶ fg.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of beaker = 76.9 g

Mass of beaker + salt = 142.54 g

Mass of salt in fg =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of the salt in grams (g). This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of beaker = 76.9 g

Mass of beaker + salt = 142.54 g

Mass of salt =?

Mass of salt = (Mass of beaker + salt) – (Mass of beaker)

Mass of salt = 142.54 – 76.9

Mass of salt = 65.64 g

Finally, we shall convert 65.64 g to femtograms (fg) as illustrated below:

Recall:

1 g = 1×10¹⁵ fg

Therefore,

65.64 g = 65.64 g × 1×10¹⁵ fg / 1g

65.64 g = 6.564×10¹⁶ fg

Therefore, the mass of the salt is 6.564×10¹⁶ fg.

(h) The student made observations related to the contents of the Erlenmeyer flask during the titration. Identify an observation
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

During titration indicators are often used to identify chemical changes between reacting species.

For colorless solutions in which no noticeable changes can easily be seen, indicators are the best bet. Most titration processes involves a combination of acids and bases to an end point.

Indicators are substances whose color changes to signal the end of an acid-base reaction. Examples are methyl orange, methyl red, phenolphthalein, litmus, cresol red, cresol green, alizarin R3, bromothymol blue and congo red.

Most of these indicators have various colors when chemical changes occur.

Also, there are heat changes that accompanies most of these reactions. These are also indicators of chemical changes.

explain why hydrogen chloride does not conduct electricity, but a solution of hydrogen chloride and water conduct electricity
grin007 [14]
The answer is… Ions are highly charged species that can readily conduct an electrical current. But hydrogen chloride the gas does not exist as ions since there is no solvent medium for them to dissolve into. Hope this helps!

In the past mining companies were not made responsible for the clean-up of any of the mine sites. As a result, abandoned mines h
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Old and inefficient mining smokestacks contaminate the soils around abandoned mine sites.

Explanation:

A smokestack, is a very tall channel commonly used in many instances to release gases produced by combustion processes directly into the air. These high towers are aimed at dispersing the gaseous pollutants over a wider area thereby minimizing their impact.

Old and inefficient smokestack do not contaminate the soil since they are very high towers that discharge gases directly into the atmosphere. Hence they are not part of the sources of soil contamination in abandoned mines.
