Answer:

The activation energy for this reaction = 23 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

Using the expression,

\ln \dfrac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} =-\dfrac{E_{a}}{R} \left (\dfrac{1}{T_1}-\dfrac{1}{T_2} \right )

Where,

k_1\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_1

k_2\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_2

E_a is the activation energy

R is Gas constant having value = 8.314×10⁻³ kJ / K mol  

k_2=2.3\times 10^8

T_2=280\ ^0C  

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (280 + 273.15) K = 553.15 K  

T_2=553.15\ K  

k_1=4.8\times 10^8  

T_1=376\ ^0C  

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (376 + 273.15) K = 649.15 K  

T_1=649.15\ K  

So,  

\left(\ln \left(\:\frac{4.8\times \:\:\:10^8}{2.3\times \:\:\:10^8}\right)\right)\:=-\frac{E_a}{8.314\times \:10^{-3}\ kJ/mol.K}\times \:\left(\frac{1}{649.15\ K}-\frac{1}{553.15\ K}\right)

E_a=-\frac{10^{-3}\times \:8.314\ln \left(\frac{10^8\times \:4.8}{10^8\times \:2.3}\right)}{-\frac{96}{359077.3225}}\ kJ/mol

E_a=-\frac{\frac{8.314\ln \left(\frac{4.8}{2.3}\right)}{1000}}{-\frac{96}{359077.3225}}\ kJ/mol

E_a=22.87\ kJ/mol

<u>The activation energy for this reaction = 23 kJ/mol.</u>

The burning of propane gas can be represented as a balanced chemical reaction as follows: C3H8(g)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g)+4H2O(g) Calcula
Snezhnost [94]

Answer: 20L of H2O

Explanation:

C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O

Recall 1mole of a gas contains 22.4L at stp

5moles of O2 contains = 5 x 22.4 = 112L

4moles of H2O contains = 4 x 22.4 = 89.6L

From the equation,

112L of O2 produced 89.6L H2O

There for 25L of O2 will produce XL of H2O i.e

XL of H2O = (25 x 89.6)/112 = 20L

A cylindrical grain has a base radius of 5m. the surface area is 1099m^2. What is the height of the bin to the nearest metre?
Inessa05 [86]

The height of the bin is 29.9m.

The quantity of space enclosing a three-dimensional shape's exterior is its surface area.

The total surface area of the cylinder formula is simply the sum of the base surface area and the lateral surface area.

The radius of the cylinder, r = 5m

Surface area = 1099 m²

∴ A = 2πrh + 2πr²

  h = \frac{A- 2\pi r^2}{2\pi r}

  h = \frac{1099- 2 (3.141) 5^2}{2 (3.141) 5}

  h = \frac{1099- 157.05}{31.41}

  h = \frac{941.95}{31.41}

  h = 29.9 m

Therefore, the height of the bin is 29.9m.

What must a food handler use to determine the concentration of sanitizing solution?
sattari [20]
I believe a food handler must use a test kit to determine the concentration of sanitizing solution. Sanitizing reduces pathogens on a surface to safe levels. The sanitizer are the agents that are used for sanitizing ; their effectiveness is determined by the factors such as concentration, contact time, pH, temperature, and also water hardness.
