<u>Answer:</u> The rate law of the reaction is \text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2][C_2O_4^{2-}]^2

<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:

2 HgCl_2(aq.)+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Cl^-(aq.)+2CO_2(g)+Hg_2Cl_2(s)

Rate law expression for the reaction:

\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^a[C_2O_4^{2-}]^b

where,

a = order with respect to HgCl_2

b = order with respect to C_2O_4^{2-}

Expression for rate law for first observation:

3.2\times 10^{-5}=k(0.164)^a(0.15)^b  ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

2.9\times 10^{-4}=k(0.164)^a(0.45)^b  ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

1.4\times 10^{-4}=k(0.082)^a(0.45)^b  ....(3)

Expression for rate law for fourth observation:

4.8\times 10^{-5}=k(0.246)^a(0.15)^b  ....(4)  

Dividing 2 from 1, we get:

\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{3.2\times 10^{-5}}=\frac{(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{(0.164)^a(0.15)^b}\\\\9=3^b\\b=2

Dividing 2 from 3, we get:

\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{1.4\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{(0.082)^a(0.45)^b}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1

Thus, the rate law becomes:

\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^1[C_2O_4^{2-}]^2

Consider the following voltaic cell:(b) In which half-cell does oxidation occur?
damaskus [11]

At the anode, half-cell oxidation occurs in a voltaic cell.

<h3>Voltaic Cell Principle</h3>

A voltaic cell generates electricity due to the Gibbs free energy of spontaneous redox processes occurring inside the cell, which is the basis for the voltaic cell's operating principle.

Two half-cells plus a salt bridge make up the voltaic cell. An electrolyte-immersed metallic electrode is present on each side of the cell. These two half-cells are wired together to form a connection to a voltmeter.

<h3>Voltaic Cell Parts</h3>
  • Copper makes comprises the cathode of a photovoltaic cell. This electrode serves as the cell's positive terminal, where reduction takes place.
  • Anode: Zink metal makes up this electrode. It creates the cell's negative electrode, where oxidation takes place.
  • Oxidation and reduction are divided into two discrete parts in two half-cells.
  • Salt Bridge: It contains the electrolytes needed to finish the circuit in the voltaic cell.
  • The flow of electrons between the electrodes occurs via the external circuit.

How many molecules of sugar (C6H1206) are in a mole?
Tanzania [10]
By definition, one mole (one gram molecular weight) of any substance, contains Avogadro’s number of particles; atoms if you are discussing an element, or molecules if a compound. Avogadro’s number has been determined by several methods, all of the accepted values lie within a range of +-1% about the value of 6.022045 x 10^23/gm. That is a large number, in this case approximately; 602,204,500,000,000,000,000,000 molecules of glucose.
