Answer:

1(a) Second order

1(b) 44.0 minutes

2(a) Ea, forward = 85.6 kJ/mol

Ea, reverse = 60.1 kJ/mol

3) k = 9.47 M⁻¹s⁻¹

Explanation:

1(a) We are given mass of product vs time.  We need to find the concentration of reactant.

For example, at t = 0 min, there is 0 g of product.  Therefore, there is 22.9 g − 0 g = 22.9 g of reactant.  The molar mass is 60 g/mol, so there is (22.9 g) / (60 mol/g) = 0.382 mol.  The volume is 1.0 L, so the concentration is (0.382 mol) / (1.0 L) = 0.382 M.

Next, we'll graph [A] vs time, ln[A] vs time, and 1/[A] vs time.

From the graphs, we can see that 1/[A] is linear.  That means the reaction is second order.

1(b) The slope of the line is equal to the rate constant k.

k = 0.0596 M⁻¹min⁻¹

The half life is:

t = 1/(k [A₀])

where [A₀] is the initial concentration of reactant.

t = 1 / (0.0596 M⁻¹min⁻¹ × 0.382 M)

t = 44.0 min

(Notice the mass of product approximately doubles from t = 20 min to t = 45 min.  This confirms that the half life is about 44 minutes.)

2(a) To make an Arrhenius graph, we need to graph ln(k) vs 1/T, where T is temperature in Kelvin.  We'll make two graphs, one for ka (the forward reaction) and one for kb (the reverse reaction).

The slope of each line is -Eₐ/R, where R is the gas constant.  For the forward reaction:

Eₐ = -8.314 × -10300 = 85,600 J/mol = 85.6 kJ/mol

For the reverse reaction:

Eₐ = -8.314 × -7227.6 = 60,100 J/mol = 60.1 kJ/mol

2(b) Make a graph showing the energy changes as the reaction goes from the reactants to the products.  The difference between the reactants and the highest point is the forward activation energy.  The difference between the products and the highest point is the reverse activation energy.

3) Like problem #1, we're going to graph [A], ln[A], and 1/[A] vs time.

Once again, 1/[A] vs t is linear, so this is a second order reaction.

The rate constant is the slope of this line, so k = 9.47 M⁻¹s⁻¹.

A sequence of thermonuclear fusion processes inside massive stars can continue to transform the nuclei of elements such as carbo
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Iron is the element that is produced at the limit of the reaction.

Explanation:

In nuclear fusion 2 lighter nuclei are combined together into a single nucleus releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process.

Up to fusion of iron the reaction of fusion is exothermic but when iron atom pops out the reaction becomes endothermic and it requires very high amount of energy to fuse iron atoms which is not available thus marking an end to the fusion reaction.

Investigate Weathering and Erosion 1. Describe at least one part of the experimental procedure that you thought was essential to
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Controlling the environment is the most key procedures for getting good results.

Explanation:

The control environment for an experiment is the essential part for getting good results. In control environment, there is no or less chances of disruption

from the external environment which can cause the results of the data more acceptable. So the scientists prefers laboratory for performing experiment as compared to outer environment. So in my opinion for getting better results, the control environment is the most necessary experimental procedure.
