A certain reaction X + Y → Z is described as being first order in [X] and third order overall. Which of the following statements

is or are true?: The rate law for the reaction is: Rate = k[X][Y]2. If the concentration of X is increased by a factor of 1.5, the rate will increase by a factor of 2.25. If the concentration of Y is increased by a factor of 1.5, the rate will increase by a factor of 2.25.

Answer:

The second statement is true: If the concentration of Y is increased by a factor of 1.5, the rate will increase by a factor of 2.25.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Let´s write the rate law for the original reaction and the reaction with X increased by 1.5:

rate 1 =k [X][Y]²

rate 2 = k[1.5 X][Y]²

Now we have to demonstrate if rate 2 = 2.25 rate 1

Let´s do the cocient between the two rates:

rate 2/ rate 1

if rate 2 = 2.25 rate 1

Then,

rate 2 / rate 1 = 2.25 rate 1 / rate 1 = 2.25

Let´s see if this is true using the expressions for the rate law:

rate 2 / rate 1

k[1.5 X][Y]² / k [X][Y]² = 1.5 k [X][Y]² / k[X][Y]² = 1.5

2.25 ≠ 1.5

Then the first statement is false.

Now let´s write the two expressions of the rate law, but this time Y will be increased by 1.5:

rate 1 = k[X][Y]²

rate 2 = k[X][1.5Y]²

Again let´s divide both expressions to see if the result is 2.25

rate 2 / rate 1

k[X][1.5Y]²/ k [X][Y]²  

(distributing the exponent)

(1.5)²k [X][Y]² / k [X][Y]² = (1.5)² = 2.25

Then the second statement is true!

Answer:

a) True

b)False

c) True

Explanation:

The order of reactants decides the exponents of respective reactant concentrations.

Since X is first order, exponent is = 1

Overall third order, Exponent X + Exponent Y = 3

Hence, exponent Y = 2.

Hence,

Rate = k[X][Y]^2

b)

If X conc is increased by 1.5 Rate should increase by 1.5 because k proportional to [X]. Hence, statement is False

c)

If Y conc is increased by 1.5 Rate should increase by 2.25 because k proportional to [Y]^2 = (1.5)^2 = 2.25. Hence, statement is True

tamaranim1 [39]
Based on the Newton's second law of motion, the value of the net force acting on the object is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration due to gravity. If we let a be the acceleration due to gravity, the equation that would allow us to calculate it's value is,
      W = m x a
where W is weight, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Substituting the known values,
    40 kg m/s² = (10 kg) x a
Calculating for the value of a from the equation will give us an answer equal to 4. 
ANSWER: 4 m/s².

A wire of length 6cm makes an angle of 20° with a 3 mT
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Approximately 7.3 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm A (approximately 7.3\; \rm mA) assuming that the magnetic field and the wire are both horizontal.

Explanation:

Let \theta denote the angle between the wire and the magnetic field.

Let B denote the magnitude of the magnetic field.

Let l denote the length of the wire.

Let I denote the current in this wire.

The magnetic force on the wire would be:

F = B \cdot l \cdot I \cdot \sin(\theta).

Because of the \sin(\theta) term, the magnetic force on the wire is maximized when the wire is perpendicular to the magnetic field (such that the angle between them is 90^\circ.)

In this question:

  • \theta = 20^\circ (or, equivalently, (\pi / 9) radians, if the calculator is in radian mode.)
  • B = 3\; \rm mT = 3 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm T.
  • l = 6\; \rm cm = 6 \times 10^{-2}\;\rm m.
  • F = 1.5\times 10^{-4}\; \rm N.

Rearrange the equation F = l \cdot I \cdot \sin(\theta) to find an expression for I, the current in this wire.

\begin{aligned} I &= \frac{F}{l \cdot \sin(\theta)} \\ &= \frac{3\times 10^{-3}\; \rm T}{6 \times 10^{-2}\; \rm m \times \sin \left(20^{\circ}\right)} \\ &\approx 7.3 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm A = 7.3 \; \rm mA\end{aligned}.
