Answer : The rate constant of the reaction is increased by factor, 4.93\times 10^{10}

Solution :

According to the Arrhenius equation,

K=A\times e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}}

The expression used with catalyst and without catalyst is,

\frac{K_2}{K_1}=\frac{A\times e^{\frac{-Ea_2}{RT}}}{A\times e^{\frac{-Ea_1}{RT}}}

\frac{K_2}{K_1}=e^{\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}}

where,

K_2 = rate of reaction with catalyst

K_1 = rate of reaction without catalyst

Ea_2 = activation energy with catalyst  = 23.0 kJ/mol = 23000 J/mol

Ea_1 = activation energy without catalyst  = 84.0 kJ/mol = 84000 J/mol

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = temperature = 25^oC=273+25=298K

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

\frac{K_2}{K_1}=e^{\frac{(84000-23000)J/mol}{8.314J/mol.K\times 298K}}

\frac{K_2}{K_1}=4.93\times 10^{10}

Therefore, the rate constant of the reaction is increased by factor, 4.93\times 10^{10}

4.3 moles of a gas are at a temperature of 28 degrees * C with a pressure of 1.631 atm. What volume does the gas occupy?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

65.2L

Explanation:

Using the general gas equation;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (Litres)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (Kelvin)

According to the information provided in this question,

P = 1.631 atm

V = ?

n = 4.3 moles

T = 28°C = 28 + 273 = 301K

Using PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 4.3 × 0.0821 × 301 ÷ 1.631

V = 106.26 ÷ 1.631

V = 65.15

Volume of the gas = 65.2L

What happens to elements when they combine together chemically ?
lara [203]

Answer:

When two distinct elements are chemically combined—i.e., chemical bonds form between their atoms—the result is called a chemical compound. Most elements on Earth bond with other elements to form chemical compounds, such as sodium (Na) and Chloride (Cl), which combine to form table salt (NaCl).

When heated to 150 ºC, CuSO4.5 H2O loses its water of hydration as gaseous H2O. A 2.50 g sample of the compound is placed in a s
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Water pressure 0.5 atm

Total Pressure= 2.27  atm

Explanation:

To answer this problem, one has to realize that there are two processes that increase the temperature of the sealed vessel.

First, the dry air in the sealed vessel will be heated which will cause its pressure to increase and it can be determined by the equation:

P₁ x T₂   = P₂ x T₁  ∴  P₂ =  P₁ x T₂ / T₁

For the second process, we have an amount of n moles of water which will be released when the copper sulfate is heated. In this case, to determine the value of the the water gas we will use the gas law:

   PV = nRT  ∴ P =  nRT/V

n will we calculated from the quantity of sample.

2.50 g  CuSo₄ 5H₂O x  1 mol/ 249.69 g = 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

the amount water of hydration is

= 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O * 5 mol H₂O / 1 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

= 0.05 mo H₂O

pressure of dry air at the final temperature,

P₂ = 1 atm x 500 K/ 300 K = 1.67 atm

Pressure of water :

P (H₂O) 0.05 mol x 0.08206 Latm/kmol x 500 K/ 4 L = 0.5 atm

∴ Total Pressure =  1.67 atm

H2O Pressure = 0.5 atm

Ice Select one: a. is a crystal of water molecules packed in an open structure stabilized by hydrogen bonds. b. is less dense th
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

All of the statements above are true.

Explanation:

Ice is solid water. Ice consists of an array of water molecules arranged into a crystal lattice. Ice has spaces between the water molecules so it is less dense than liquid water. Ice is about 9% less dense than liquid water. This accounts for the fact that it floats on water.

Ice contains more hydrogen bonds per water molecule when compared to liquid water.
