i hopes this helps let me know if im wrong:)
To determine which order of the reaction it is, first we need to calculate the rate of change of moles.
the data is as follows
time 0 40 80 120 160
moles 0.100 0.067 0.045 0.030 0.020
Q1)
for the first 40 s change of moles ;
= -d[A] / t
= - (0.067-0.100)/40s
= 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
for the next 40 s
= -(0.045-0.067)/40
= 5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
the 40 s after that
= -(0.030-0.045)/40 s
= 3.75 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
k - rate constant
and A is the only reactant that affects the rate of the reaction
rate = k [A]ᵇ
8.25 × 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]ᵇ ----1
5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.067 mol]ᵇ -----2
divide the 2nd equation by the 1st equation
1.5 = [1.49]ᵇ
b is almost equal to 1
Therefore this is a first order reaction
Q2)
to find out the rate constant(k), we have to first state the equation for a first order reaction.
rate = k[A]ᵇ
As A is the only reactant thats considered for the rate equation.
Since this is a first order reaction,
b = 1
therefore the reaction is
rate = k[A]
substituting the values,
8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]
k = 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s /0.100mol
= 8.25 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
The balanced equation for the above neutralisation reaction is as follows;
Ca(OH)₂ + 2HCl ----> CaCl₂ + 2H₂O
Stoichiometry of Ca(OH)₂ to HCl is 1:2
number of Ca(OH)₂ moles reacted - 0.250 mol/L x 20.0 x 10⁻³ L = 5.00 x 10⁻³ mol
according to molar ratio of 1:2
number of HCl moles required = 2 x number of Ca(OH)₂ moles reacted
number of HCl moles = 5.00 x 10⁻³ x 2 = 10.0 x 10⁻³ mol
molarity of HCl solution - 0.250 M
there are 0.250 mol in volume of 1 L
therefore 10.0 x 10⁻³ mol in - 10.0 x 10⁻³ mol / 0.250 mol/L = 40.0 mL
40.0 mL of 0.250 M HCl is required
Salt water is considered to be a solution
