The rate constant for the decomposition of nitrogen dioxide NO2(g) LaTeX: \longrightarrow⟶ NO (g) + 1/2 O2(g) with a laser beam

is 1.95 1/MLaTeX: \cdot⋅ min. Find the time, in seconds, needed to decrease 2.48 M of NO2 to 0.97 M. Hint: What is the order of the reaction? How can you determine that? Units of k?

Answer :

The time taken by the reaction is 19.2 seconds.

The order of reaction is, second order reaction.

Explanation :

The general formula to determine the unit of rate constant is:

(Concentration)^{(1-n)}(Time)^{-1}

Unit of rate constant                           Order of reaction

Concentration/Time                                        0

Time^{-1}                                                              1

(Concentration)^{-1}Time^{-1}                                 2

As the unit of rate constant is M^{-1}min^{-1}. So, the order of reaction is second order.

The expression used for second order kinetics is:

kt=\frac{1}{[A_t]}-\frac{1}{[A_o]}

where,

k = rate constant = 1.95M^{-1}s^{-1}

t = time = ?

[A_t] = final concentration = 0.97 M

[A_o] = initial concentration = 2.48 M

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

1.95\times t=\frac{1}{0.97}-\frac{1}{2.48}

t=0.32min=0.32\times 60s=19.2s

Therefore, the time taken by the reaction is 19.2 seconds.

What color is the start of the rainbow?
zheka24 [161]

Rainbows go in the order of ROYGBIV, which is an acronym for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

So, it would start off with red.

If you want to know why it starts off the rainbow, its because red has the longest wavelength, compared to the rest of the colors. (sorry I'm rambling, I got excited)

Hope this helps.

Which description best characterizes the motion of particles in a solid?
antoniya [11.8K]

The particles in a solid are tightly packed and locked in place. Although we cannot see it or feel it, the particles are vibrating in place.

As these molecules heat up, they will vibrate more vigorously, and will eventually turn to water, then gas.
