Answer:

(a) 1

(b) 2

Explanation:

According to the law of mass action:-

The rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the active concentration of the reactant which each are raised to the experimentally determined coefficients which are known as orders. The rate is determined by the slowest step in the reaction mechanics.

Order of in the mass action law is the coefficient which is raised to the active concentration of the reactants. It is experimentally determined and can be zero, positive negative or fractional.

The order of the whole reaction is the sum of the order of each reactant which is raised to its power in the rate law.

Thus,

Given that:-

Thus, the rate law is as follows:-

$r=k[A][B]^2$

(a) The order w.r.t. to A is 1

(b) The order w.r.t. to B is 2

Explain why the lattice energy of CaSe is approximately 4 times as large as that of KBr. Check all that apply. Check all that ap

Elza [17]

Answer:

According to Coulomb’s law, the Ca and Se ions have 4 times the attractive force (2+ × 2-) than that of the K and Br ions (1+ × 1-).

Explanation:

From Coulomb's law, the attractive force between calcium and selenium ions is four times the attractive force between potassium and bromide ions.

This has something to do with size and magnitude of charge. Calcium ions and selenide ions are smaller and both carry greater charge magnitude than potassium and bromide ions. This paves way for greater electrostatic attraction between them when the distance of the charges apart is minimal. Hence a greater lattice energy.

when carbon is burned in the air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. when 22.8 g of carbon were burned in the presenc

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

So there is83.6g CO2 produced

Explanation:

Burning carbon with air has the following equation

C + O2 → CO2

For 1 mol Carbon, we have 1 mol O2 and 1 mol CO2

Step 2: Calculating moles

mole C = 22.8g / 12g/mole

Mole C = 1.9 mole

1.9 mole C will completely react

Since for each mole C there is 1 mole O2 and 1 mole CO2

This means there will also react 1.9 mole of 02, to be formed 1.9 mole of CO2

mole CO2 = mass CO2 / Molar mass CO2

mass CO2 = 1.9 mole CO2 * 44g/mole =<u>83.6g CO2</u>

In this reaction 18.2 g of O2 remained unreacted

we can control this: 79g - 18.2 g = 60.8g

1.9 mole * 32g/mol = 60.8g

So there is83.6g CO2 produced

Briefly discuss interpretations of your observations and results. Discuss how your observations illustrated LeChatelier's princi

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Le Chatelier's principle can be applied in explaining the results

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, when a constraint such as a change in concentration in this case is imposed on a chemical system in equilibrium, the system will adjust itself in such a way as to annul the constraint imposed.

Hence, when the color of the solution was more like that of the control, the reaction would shift towards the left. Similarly, when the color was more like it was towards the reactant, the reaction would shift towards the right.

If we were to prepare calcium oxalate, we should prepare it in a base solution. This is because when the base was added to calcium oxalate, it did not form any precipitate but when an acid was added to the calcium oxalate, it formed a precipitate.
