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

Bad White [126]

The chemical reaction in which number of atoms of each element present in the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of that element in product side, such reactions are said to be a balanced chemical reaction.

The chemical symbol for sodium is Na.

The chemical symbol for fluorine gas is F_2.

The chemical symbol for sodium fluoride is NaF

The sodium fluoride is prepared from the reaction between sodium metal and fluorine gas can be written as:

Na (s)+F_2(g) \rightarrow NaF(s)

The above reaction is not balanced as the number of fluorine atoms are not same on reactant and product side. So, in order to balance the reaction we will multiply Na with 2 on reactant side and NaF with 2 on product side. Thus, the balanced reaction will be:

2Na (s)+F_2 (g)\rightarrow 2NaF(s)

Thus, the balanced chemical equation is 2Na (s)+F_2 (g)\rightarrow 2NaF(s).

Why does it seem to us as if rocks remain the same and don't change
qaws [65]
Most rocks that we encounter in our normal everyday lives are sedimentary rocks.  Sedimentary rocks are rocks that have been worn down gradually over long periods of time.  Because it takes very long periods of time (couple decades) for these rocks to change, it often seems as if they don't change at all, when in reality the change is too small for us to realize it!
