Answer:

Catalyst

Explanation:

A general term for a chemical which accelerates a reaction without becoming chemically involved is called a catalyst.

Catalysts are used in industrial processes to speed up the rate of a chemical reaction. For instance, in the Contact process used in the production of sulphuric (vi) acid, vanadium(V) oxide (V2O5) is used as a catalyst to speed up the production of the acid. Vanadium(V) oxide (V2O5) is preferred to Platinum which was initially used as the catalyst since it does not react with any of the products of the process

At 25∘C, the decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5(g), into NO2(g) and O2(g) follows first-order kinetics with k=3.4×10−5

Annette [7]

Answer:

4600s

Explanation:

$2N_{2}O_{5}(g) - - -> 4NO_{2}(g) +O_{2}$

For a first order reaction the rate of reaction just depends on the concentration of one specie [B] and it’s expressed as:

$-\frac{d[B]}{dt}=k[B] - - - -\frac{d[B]}{[B]}=k*dt$

If we have an ideal gas in an isothermal (T=constant) and isocoric (v=constant) process.

PV=nRT we can say that P = n so we can express the reaction order as a function of the Partial pressure of one component.

$-\frac{d[P(B)]}{P(B)}=k*dt$

$-\frac{d[P(N_{2}O_{5})]}{P(N_{2}O_{5})}=k*dt$

Integrating we get:

$\int\limits^p \,-\frac{d[P(N_{2}O_{5})]}{P(N_{2}O_{5})}=\int\limits^ t k*dt$

$-(ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})]-ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})_{o})])=k(t_{2}-t_{1})$

Clearing for t2:

$\frac{-(ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})]-ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})_{o})])}{k}+t_{1}=t_{2}$

$ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})]=ln(650)=6.4769$

$ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})_{o}]=ln(760)=6.6333$

$t_{2}=\frac{-(6.4769-6.6333)}{3.4*10^{-5}}+0= 4598.414s$

how many grams of phosphorus (P4) react with 35.5L of O2 at STP to form solid tetraphosphorus decaoxide

algol [13]

Answer:

mass P4 = 35.998 g

Explanation:

P4 + 5O2 → P4O10

∴ STP: P = 1 atm; T = 298 K

∴ V O2= 35.5 L

⇒ nO2 = P.V / R.T

∴ R = 0.082 atm.L/K.mol

⇒ nO2 = ((1 atm)×(35.5L))/((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(298K))

⇒ nO2 = 1.453 mol O2

⇒ mol P4 = (1.453 molO2)×(mol P4/ 5molO2) = 0.2906 mol P4

∴ Mw P4 = 123.895 g/mol

⇒ mass P4 = (0.2906 mol P4)×(123.895 g/mol) = 35.998 g P4
