1 answer:

7 0

It is a true fact that ionic crystals are excellent insulators and can hold a large amount of heat before melting or boiling. The correct option among the two options that are given in the question is the first option. Salt is a great example of ionic crystals and we know that it takes a huge amount of time to melt or boil.

Answer : The rate constant at 785.0 K is, $1.45\times 10^{-2}s^{-1}$

Explanation :

According to the Arrhenius equation,

$K=A\times e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}}$

or,

$\log (\frac{K_2}{K_1})=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]$

where,

$K_1$ = rate constant at $600.0K$ = $6.1\times 10^{-8}s^{-1}$

$K_2$ = rate constant at $785.0K$ = ?

$Ea$ = activation energy for the reaction = 262 kJ/mole = 262000 J/mole

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K

$T_1$ = initial temperature = $600.0K$

$T_2$ = final temperature = $785.0K$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$\log (\frac{K_2}{6.1\times 10^{-8}s^{-1}})=\frac{262000J/mole}{2.303\times 8.314J/mole.K}[\frac{1}{600.0K}-\frac{1}{785.0K}]$

$K_2=1.45\times 10^{-2}s^{-1}$

Therefore, the rate constant at 785.0 K is, $1.45\times 10^{-2}s^{-1}$

(C6H6) can be biodegraded by microorganism. if 30 mg of benzene is present, what amount of oxygen required for biodegradation, n

quester [9]

Answer:

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.

Explanation:

$5C_6H_6+15O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+15H_2O$

Mass of benzene = 30 mg = 0.03 g (1000 mg = 1 g )

Moles benzene = $\frac{0.03 g}{78 g/mol}=0.0003846 mol$

According to reaction 5 moles of benzene reacts with 15 moles of oxygen gas.

Then 0.0003846 mol of benzene will react with:

$\frac{15}{5}\times 0.0003846 mol=0.0011538 mol$ of oxygen gas

Mass of 0.0011538 moles of oxygen gas:

0.0011538 mol × 32 g/mol = 0.03692 g = 36.92 mg

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.

Which best describes a stock solution that is used in a dilution?

RSB [31]

A stock solution is a solution of a known concentration. Stock solution has a high concentration and therefore, the known amount of stock solution is used for preparing different concentrations, by diluting the same with the known amount of the solvent being used, such as water.
