What are acid-base reactions? precipitation reactions?

1 answer:

5 0

Acid base reactions also known as neutralization reactions are reactions that occur between acids and bases thus the name. Anytime this happens the product will niether an acid or base it will be neutralized to a neutral pH as in that of pure water pH 7.
Precipitation reactions occur when cations and anions in aqueous solution combine to form an insoluble ionic solid called a precipitate. Whether or not such a reaction occurs can be determined by using the solubility rules for common ionic solids.

Using your knowledge of chemistry and the information in Reference Table H, which statement concerning propanone and water at 50

stiv31 [10]

The answer is (2) higher vapor pressure and weaker intermolecular forces. Propanone has a lower boiling point, so it is more volatile than water. Propanone's vapor pressure is, therefore, higher than that of water at 50 degrees Celsius. Propanone is more volatile due to the fact that the intermolecular forces that hold its molecuels together are not as strong as those that hold together molecules of water. Since the IMFs are weaker, it takes less thermal energy to break individual molecules free of each other.

The age of fossils can sometimes be determined by radiometric dating, which is based on the constant rate of decay of radioactiv

True [87]

The age of the fossil given the present amount of Carbon-14 is given in the equation,
A(t) = A(o)(0.5)^t/h
where A(t) is the current amount, A(o) is the initial amount, t is time and h is the half-life. Substituting the known values to the equation,
A(t) / A(o) = 0.125 = (0.5)^(t/5730)
The value of t from the equation is 17190.
Thus, the age of the fossil is mostly likely to be 17190 years old.

3. The following data of decomposition reaction of thionyl chloride (SO2Cl2) were collected at a certain temperature and the con

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

a) First-order.

b) 0.013 min⁻¹

c) 53.3 min.

d) 0.0142M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, on the attached document, we can notice the corresponding plot for each possible order of reaction. Thus, we should remember that in zeroth-order we plot the concentration of the reactant (SO2Cl2 ) versus the time, in first-order the natural logarithm of the concentration of the reactant (SO2Cl2 ) versus the time and in second-order reactions the inverse of the concentration of the reactant (SO2Cl2 ) versus the time.

a) In such a way, we realize the best fit is exhibited by the first-order model which shows a straight line (R=1) which has a slope of -0.0013 and an intercept of -2.3025 (natural logarithm of 0.1 which corresponds to the initial concentration). Therefore, the reaction has a first-order kinetics.

b) Since the slope is -0.0013 (take two random values), the rate constant is 0.013 min⁻¹:

$m=\frac{ln(0.0768)-ln(0.0876)}{200min-100min} =-0.0013min^{-1}$

c) Half life for first-order kinetics is computed by:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{ln(2)}{k}=\frac{ln(2)}{0.013min^{-1}} =53.3min$

d) Here, we compute the concentration via the integrated rate law once 1500 minutes have passed:

$C=C_0exp(-kt)=0.1Mexp(-0.013min^{-1}*1500min)\\\\C=0.0142M$

Best regards.
