When might a plot of ln[a] vs time not yield a straight line?

Chemistry
1 answer:
podryga [215]3 years ago
6 0
Considering a reaction:
A → B
The rate equation may be described as:
r = -k[A]ⁿ
Taking the natural log,
ln(r) = -nln([A]) + ln(k)
Therefore, the only time the graph of ln[A] vs time will be a straight line is when the order of the reaction is 0, meaning the reaction is independent of reactant concentration.

Which answer choice best describes the difference between folded mountains and fault-block mountains?
melamori03 [73]

The answer is; C

In folding, when segments of Earth's crust are bent and doubled over, the sediments in between are form folds, since they are forced into a smaller space.  This also occurs in converging plates boundaries.

Block Mountains occur when stress due to compression in the crust causes the hanging wall between a fault to move up relative to the footwall.

Which of these is a chemical property of iron?
denpristay [2]
Iron becomes rusted especially in damp air but never in a dry air,  this is one of the many unique characteristics of iron. Iron is also ductile and malleable. It is found in the seventh group of the periodic table. It has four different and unique crystalline forms and completely dissolves in dilute acids. The two chemical compounds that can be found or made from iron are the bivalent iron also known as ferrous and the trivalent iron or known as ferric compounds.

The oxygen atom is smaller than the sulfur atom because _____(1) the outer electrons of oxygen are more effectively screened fro
Romashka [77]

Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of oxygen atom is 8 and its electronic distribution is 2, 6. So, it contains only 2 orbitals which are closer to the nucleus of the atom.

As a result, the valence electrons are pulled closer by the nucleus of oxygen atom due to which there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atom.

Whereas atomic number of sulfur is 16 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 6. As there are more number of orbitals present in a sulfur atom so, the valence electrons are away from the nucleus of the atom.

Hence, there is less force of attraction between nucleus of sulfur atom and its valence electrons due to which size of sulfur atom is larger than the size of oxygen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that the oxygen atom is smaller than the sulfur atom because the outer orbitals of oxygen are located closer to the nucleus than those of sulfur.

Katena32 [7]

ANSWER

2 valence electrons

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The electronic configuration is given below as

1s^22s^22p^62s^23p^64s^2

Looking at the configuration, you will see that the last energy carries 2 electrons

Hence, the valence electrons are 2
