Consider the reaction

SOVA2 [1]

Answer :

(a) The average rate will be:

$\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=9.36\times 10^{-5}M/s$

(b) The average rate will be:

$\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=1.87\times 10^{-4}M/s$

Explanation :

The general rate of reaction is,

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The expression for rate of reaction will be :

$\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

$Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

From this we conclude that,

In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.

The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.

The given rate of reaction is,

$5Br^-(aq)+BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)\rightarrow 3Br_2(aq)+3H_2O(l)$

The expression for rate of reaction :

$\text{Rate of disappearance of }Br^-=-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of disappearance of }BrO_3^-=-\frac{d[BrO_3^-]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of disappearance of }H^+=-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of }Br_2=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of }H_2O=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}$

Thus, the rate of reaction will be:

$\text{Rate of reaction}=-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=-\frac{d[BrO_3^-]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}$

Part (a) :

Given:

$\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=1.56\times 10^{-4}M/s$

As,

$-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}$

and,

$\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=\frac{3}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}$

$\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=\frac{3}{5}\times 1.56\times 10^{-4}M/s$

$\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=9.36\times 10^{-5}M/s$

Part (b) :

Given:

$\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=1.56\times 10^{-4}M/s$

As,

$-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}$

and,

$-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=\frac{3}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}$

$\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=\frac{6}{5}\times 1.56\times 10^{-4}M/s$

$\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=1.87\times 10^{-4}M/s$

Consider the model of the nitrogen atom which electron configuration matches the model

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

1s², 2s², 2p³

Explanation:

The atomic number of Nitrogen is seven. So it contains seven protons and seven electrons in neutral form. Also, the electronic configuration cited above contains seven electrons among which two electrons are present in first shell and five electrons are present in valence shell respectively.

What volume would 0.735 moles of O2 gas occupy at STP

tatiyna

Answer:

16.5 dm³

Explanation:

Data Given:

no. moles of O₂ = 0.735 moles

volume of O₂ = ?

Solution:

Now

we have to find volume of O₂ gas

Formula used for this purpose

No. of moles = Volume / molar volume

where

molar volume at STP for Oxygen (O₂) = 22.4 dm³/mol

No. of moles O₂ = Volume of O₂ / 22.4 dm³/mol . . . . . .(1)

Put values in equation 1

0.735 = Volume of O₂ / 22.4 dm³/ mol

rearrange above equation

Volume of O₂ = 0.735 x 22.4 dm³/ mol

Volume of O₂ = 16.5 dm³

So,

the volume of O₂ at STP is 16.5 dm³
