Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

As the number of carbons in the hydrocarbon increases, the boiling point of increases and volatility reduces.

The increasing number of carbon atoms increases the molecular mass and this will eventually lead to a higher boiling point.

With increasing chain length, hydrocarbons tends towards liquid and solid phases.
This increase leads to a greater intermolecular interaction in the compound.
Intermolecular forces determines the boiling point of hydrocarbons.
This is why gasoline is easily combusted compared to lubricant oil.

N76 [4]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the initial rate for the formation of C at 25°C, if [A]=0.50 M and [B]=0.075 M. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.Consider the reaction

A + 2B ⇔ C

whose rate at 25°C was measured using three different sets of initial concentrations as listed in the following table:

The table is attached below as an image.

<u>Answer:</u> The initial rate for the formation of C at 25°C is $2.25\times 10^{-2}Ms^{-1}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$A+2B\rightleftharpoons C$

Rate law expression for the reaction:

$\text{Rate}=k[A]^a[B]^b$

where,

a = order with respect to A

b = order with respect to B

Expression for rate law for first trial:

$5.4\times 10^{-3}=k(0.30)^a(0.050)^b$ ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second trial:

$1.1\times 10^{-2}=k(0.30)^a(0.100)^b$ ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third trial:

$2.2\times 10^{-2}=k(0.50)^a(0.050)^b$ ....(3)

Dividing 2 by 1, we get:

$\frac{1.1\times 10^{-2}}{5.4\times 10^{-3}}=\frac{(0.30)^a(1.00)^b}{(0.30)^a(0.050)^b}\\\\2=2^b\\b=1$

Dividing 3 by 1, we get:

$\frac{2.2\times 10^{-2}}{5.4\times 10^{-3}}=\frac{(0.50)^a(0.050)^b}{(0.30)^a(0.050)^b}\\\\4.07=2^a\\a=2$

Thus, the rate law becomes:

$\text{Rate}=k[A]^2[B]^1$ ......(4)

Now, calculating the value of 'k' by using any expression.

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$5.4\times 10^{-3}=k[0.30]^2[0.050]^1\\\\k=1.2M^{-2}s^{-1}$

Calculating the initial rate of formation of C by using equation 4, we get:

$k=1.2M^{-2}s^{-1}$

[A] = 0.50 M

[B] = 0.075 M

Putting values in equation 4, we get:

$\text{Rate}=1.2\times (0.50)^2\times (0.075)^1\\\\\text{Rate}=2.25\times 10^{-2}Ms^{-1}$

Hence, the initial rate for the formation of C at 25°C is $2.25\times 10^{-2}Ms^{-1}$

Describe the concept of using radioactive elements to establish an age for a fossil. Be sure to include how the parent and daugh

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The nuclear decay of radioactive elements is a process that is a useful tool for determining the absolute age of fossils and rocks. It is used as a clock, in which daughter elements or isotopes converted from parent isotopes by decaying at a particular time.

Radioactive decay rates are constant and do not change over time. It is measured in half-life. A half-life is a time it takes half of a parent isotope to decay and converted into a stable daughter isotope. How many parent isotopes and daughter isotopes present in the fossil or their abundance can help in determining the age of fossil or rock.
