sample is 1.6 M, what will be the concentration of A after 80 min?

Answer : The concentration of A after 80 min is, 0.100 M

Explanation :

Half-life = 20 min

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{0.693}{20\text{ min}}$

$k=3.465\times 10^{-2}\text{ min}^{-1}$

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $3.465\times 10^{-2}\text{ min}^{-1}$

t = time passed by the sample = 80 min

a = initial amount of the reactant = 1.6 M

a - x = amount left after decay process = ?

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

$80=\frac{2.303}{3.465\times 10^{-2}}\log\frac{1.6}{a-x}$

$a-x=0.100M$

Therefore, the concentration of A after 80 min is, 0.100 M

Consider the reaction of peroxydisulfate ion (S2O2−8) with iodide ion (I−) in aqueous solution: S2O2−8(aq)+3I−(aq)→2SO2−4(aq)+I−

Answer:

r = 3.61x $10^{-6}$ M/s

Explanation:

The rate of disappearance (r) is given by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reagents, each one raised of the coefficient of the reaction.

r = k. $[S2O2^{-8} ]^{x} x [I^{-} ]^{y}$

K is the constant of the reaction, and doesn't depends on the concentrations. First, let's find the coefficients x and y. Let's use the first and the second experiments, and lets divide 1º by 2º :

$\frac{r1}{r2} = \frac{0.018^{x} x0.036^{y} }{0.027^xx0.036^y}$

$\frac{2.6x10^{-6}}{3.9x10^{-6}} = (\frac{0.018}{0.027})^xx(\frac{0.036}{0.036})^y$

$0.67 = 0.67^x$

x = 1

Now, to find the coefficient y let's do the same for the experiments 1 and 3:

$\frac{r1}{r3} = \frac{0.018x0.036^y}{0.036x0.054^y}$

$\frac{2.6x10^{-6}}{7.8x10^{-6}} = (\frac{0.018}{0.036})x(\frac{0.036}{0.054})^y$

$0.33 = 0.5x 0.67^y$

$0.67 = 0.67^y$

y = 1

Now, we need to calculate the constant k in whatever experiment. Using the first :

$2.6x10^{-6} = kx0.018x0.036$ $kx6.48x10^{-4} = 2.6x10^{-6}$

k = 4.01x10^{-3} M^{-1}s^{-1}[/tex]

Using the data given,

r = $4.01x10^{-3}x1.8x10^{-2}x5.0x10^{-2}$

r = 3.61x $10^{-6}$ M/s

Wha do u do when u get in a fight wit yo best friend?

antiseptic1488 [7]

Talk to them and listen to each other. if they aren’t ready to talk, give them space. once both of you are ready, you can make up and forgive each other. don’t bother them by asking a lot of questions and forcing them to talk to you. and if they’re doing that, tell them you need time to think. just be sure to talk to them, listen, and understand. tell each other both sides of the stories. of course, different situations can require different solutions. so resolve it when it’s time :)

Ideal He gas expanded at constant pressure of 3 atm until its volume was increased from 9 liters to 15 liters. During this proce

kkurt [141]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

P = 3 atm

= $3 atm \times \frac{1.01325 \times 10^{5} Pa}{1 atm}$

= $3.03975 \times 10^{5} Pa$

$V_{1}$ = 9 L = $9 \times 10^{-3} m^{3}$ (as 1 L = 0.001 $m^{3}$ ),

$V_{2}$ = 15 L = $15 \times 10^{-3} m^{3}$

Heat energy = 800 J

As relation between work, pressure and change in volume is as follows.

W = $P \times \Delta V$

or, W = $P \times (V_{2} - V_{1})$

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

W = $P \times (V_{2} - V_{1})$

= $3.03975 \times 10^{5} Pa \times (15 \times 10^{-3} m^{3} - 9 \times 10^{-3} m^{3})$

= 1823.85 Nm

or, = 1823.85 J

As internal energy of the gas $\Delta E$ is as follows.

$\Delta E$ = Q - W

= 800 J - 1823.85 J

= -1023.85 J

Thus, we can conclude that the internal energy change of the given gas is -1023.85 J.

Given the following reaction: 2D(g) + 3E(g) + F(g) \longrightarrow⟶ 2G(g) + H(g) When the concentration of D is decreasing by 0.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Rate of reaction = -d[D] / 2dt = -d[E]/ 3dt = -d[F]/dt = d[G]/2dt = d[H]/dt

The concentration of H is increasing, half as fast as D decreases: 0.05 mol L–1.s–1

E decreseas 3/2 as fast as G increases = 0.30 M/s

Explanation:

Rate of reaction = -d[D] / 2dt = -d[E]/ 3dt = -d[F]/dt = d[G]/2dt = d[H]/dt

When the concentration of D is decreasing by 0.10 M/s, how fast is the concentration of H increasing:

Given data = d[D]/dt = 0.10 M/s

-d[D] / 2dt = d[H]/dt

d[H]/dt = 0.05 M/s

The concentration of H is increasing, half as fast as D decreases: 0.05 mol L–1.s–1

When the concentration of G is increasing by 0.20 M/s, how fast is the concentration of E decreasing:

d[G] / 2dt = -d[H]/3dt

E decreseas 3/2 as fast as G increases = 0.30 M/s
