Answer:

1. London dispersion

Explanation:

Sulphur trioxide ( SO₃ ) -

The chemical compound SO₃ is planar in structure , the only intermolecular forces shown by SO₃ is the London forces .

dipole - dipole is not observed in this compound , as it is not possible to generate poles between the sulfur and oxygen atom due to very less difference in the electronegativity .

Hydrogen bonding is also not observed , because there is not hydrogen atom .

Hence , only London forces are observed in SO₃ .

1.What does the Law of Conservation of Energy tells us?

1. Energy can neither be created or destroyed.
2. Conduction. Putting a pot of water on a hot burner. Convection. Putting your wet shoes over an air vent to dry them quicker. Radiation. Sitting in front of the fire to warm your hands up.
3. renewable sources can be used again and again, but non renewable sources cannot.
4. I would recommend solar energy. I think solar energy should be considered because solar energy can be reused, and also because they can use it to power their houses and they wouldn't need fossil fuels to do so.
5. Turn off the lights and open the windows during the day and if something is left plugged into the wall and it is not being used, unplug it.

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:

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