Answer:

Explanation:

2 HgCl₂ + C₂O₄²⁻   =  2 Cl⁻ + Hg₂Cl₂ + 2CO₂

1 )

Rate of reaction = k[HgCl_2]^m[C_2O_4^{-2}]^n

             [HgCl₂]        [C₂O₄²⁻ ]           Rate  

1 .              .124             .115               1.61 x 10⁻⁵

2 .             .248             .115             3.23 x 10⁻⁵

3 .              .124             .229              6.4 x 10⁻⁵

4 .              .248             .229            1.28 x 10⁻⁴

comparing 1 and 3 , when concentration of HgCl₂ remains constant and concentration of C₂O₄²⁻  becomes twice , rate becomes 4 times so rate is proportional to square of concentration of C₂O₄²⁻  .

Hence n = 2

comparing 1 and 2 , when concentration of HgCl₂ becomes twice  and concentration of C₂O₄²⁻  remains constant  , rate becomes 2 times so rate is proportional to simply  concentration of C₂O₄²⁻  .

Hence m = 1

Putting the data of  1 in the rate equation found

 1.61 x 10⁻⁵ = k x .124 x  .115²

k = 11.3 x 10⁻⁴ M⁻² s⁻¹

in heating a kettle of water on an electric stove, 3.34×10^3 J of thermal energy was provided by the element of the stove. yet,
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The percentage efficiency of the electrical element is approximately 82.186%

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The thermal energy provided by the stove element, H_{supplied} = 3.34 × 10³ J

The amount thermal energy gained by the kettle, H_{absorbed}  = 5.95 × 10² J

The percentage efficiency of the electrical element in heating the kettle of water, η%, is given as follows;

\eta \% = \dfrac{H_{supplied} - H_{absorbed} }{H_{supplied}}  \times 100

Therefore, we get;

\eta \% = \dfrac{3.34 \times 10^3 - 5.95 \times 10^2}{3.34 \times 10^3}  \times 100 = \dfrac{549}{668} \times 100 \approx 82.186 \%

The percentage efficiency of the electrical element, η% ≈ 82.186%.

Copper is formed when aluminum reacts with copper (II) sulfate in a single-replacement reaction. How many moles of copper can be
serg [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the limiting reactant is CuSO₄ and 0.975 moles of Cu were obtained

Explanation:

moles of Copper = ?

mass of Aluminum = 29 g

mass of CuSO₄ = 156 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Balanced Chemical reaction

                  3 CuSO₄   +  2 Al   ⇒   3 Cu   +  Al₂(SO₄)₃

Calculate the moles of reactants

CuSO₄ = 64 + 32 + (16 x 4) = 160g

Al = 27 g

                160 g of CuSO₄  ----------------- 1 mol

                156 g                   -----------------  x

                      x = (156 x 1) / 160

                      x = 0.975 moles

               27 g of Al -------------------------- 1 mol

               29 g of Al -------------------------- x

                x = (29 x 1)/27

                x = 1.07 moles

Calculate proportions to find the limiting reactant

Theoretical     3 moles CuSO₄/2 moles Al = 1.5 moles

Experimental  0.975 moles CuSO₄/1.07 moles = 0.91

The experimental proportion was lower than the theoretical proportion that means that the limiting reactant is CuSO₄.      

                    3 moles of CuSO₄ ------------------ 3 moles of Cu

                 0.975 moles of CuSO₄ ---------------  x

                         x = (0.975 x 3)/3

                        x = 0.975 moles of Cu were obtained.
