In their notebook you see that it takes 9 hours for a sixth of a 0.5M solution of BC2 to react. Unfortunately, you have somewher

e you need to be in 3.5 hours and will not be able to monitor the reaction properly. What concentration of BC2 should you originally use in order to have 0.42 M remaining in 3.5 hours

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The concentration of BC_2 that should used originally is C_Z_o = 0.4492M

Explanation:

     From the question we are told that

         The necessary elementary step is  

                  2BC_2 ----->4C + B_2

          The  time taken for sixth of 0.5 M of reactant to react t = 9 hr

           The time available is t_a = 3.5 hr

             The desired concentration to  remain C  = 0.42M

Let Z be the reactant ,   Y be the first product and X the second product

Generally the elementary rate  law is mathematically as

                    -r_Z = kC_Z^2 = - \frac{d C_Z}{dt}

Where k is the rate constant ,  C_Z is the concentration of Z

From the elementary rate law we see that the reaction is second order (This because the concentration of the reactant is raised to power 2 )

 For second  order reaction

            \frac{1}{C_Z}  - \frac{1}{C_Z_o}  = kt

Where C_Z_o is the initial concentration of Z which a value of   C_Z_o = 0.5M

       From the question we are told that it take  9 hours  for the concentration of  the reactant to become

                 C_Z =  C_Z_o - \frac{1}{6}  C_Z_o

                  C_Z = 0.5  - \frac{0.5}{6}

                       = 0.4167 M

So      

                     \frac{1}{0.4167}  - \frac{1}{0.50}  =  9 k

                          0.400 = 9 k

                =>    k = 0.044\  L/ mol \cdot hr^{-1}

  For   C_Z = 0.42M

                \frac{1}{0.42} - \frac{1}{C_Z_o}  = 3.5 * 0.044

                2.38 -  0.154  =    \frac{1}{C_Z_o}

                           2.226  =    \frac{1}{C_Z_o}

                            C_Z_o = \frac{1}{2.226}

                             C_Z_o = 0.4492M

How does a ketone react with PCl5?,
Reptile [31]

When ketone is reacted with phosphorous pentachloride, chlorination takes place at the carbonyl carbon with substitution of the oxygen atom to give a geminal dichloride (with 2 Cl atoms on same carbon) according to the following equation: 

so we can say that acetone is converted into 2,2-dichloropropane by action of PCl₅

Use the information below to explain why the atomic radius decreases down a group.
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Detail is given below

Explanation:

Atomic radii trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

In A we can see that there is one positive charge and force of attraction is 2.30×10⁻⁸ N and distance is 0.10 nm

In B we can see that negative charge is further away from nucleus because of greater distance thus force of attraction will be less. 0.58×10⁻⁸ N

In C this distance further increases and force also goes in decreasing 0.26×10⁻⁸ N.

It takes 495.0 kJ of energy to remove 1 mole of electron from an atom on the surface of sodium metal. How much energy does it ta
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

\lambda=241.9\ nm

Explanation:

The work function of the sodium= 495.0 kJ/mol

It means that  

1 mole of electrons can be removed by applying of 495.0 kJ of energy.

Also,  

1 mole = 6.023\times 10^{23}\ electrons

So,  

6.023\times 10^{23} electrons can be removed by applying of 495.0 kJ of energy.

1 electron can be removed by applying of \frac {495.0}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\ kJ of energy.

Energy required = 82.18\times 10^{-23}\ kJ

Also,  

1 kJ = 1000 J

So,  

Energy required = 82.18\times 10^{-20}\ J

Also, E=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}

Where,  

h is Plank's constant having value 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js

c is the speed of light having value 3\times 10^8\ m/s

So,  

79.78\times 10^{-20}=\frac {6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\lambda}

\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{82.18\times 10^{-20}}

\lambda=\frac{10^{-26}\times \:19.878}{10^{-20}\times \:82.18}

\lambda=\frac{19.878}{10^6\times \:82.18}

\lambda=2.4188\times 10^{-7}\ m

Also,  

1 m = 10⁻⁹ nm

So,  

\lambda=241.9\ nm

Which scientific investigation describes a field study?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

A. A scientist investigates a mouse's growth in nature by watching the animal.

A field study is a raw collection of data, typically in the natural habit of the organism; hence why an experiment taken in a lab isn't a field study.
