A certain batch of fireflies were observed to "flash" at the rate of 13.0 times per minute at 25°C, and at the lower rate of 5.0

times a minute at a temperature of 15°C. Assume that the flashing is the result of an overall chemical reaction that has a single rate limiting step with the highest activation energy. Use this data to estimate the activation energy for this slowest step. You can assume that the concentrations of "reactants" in the fireflies do not depend on temperature.

Answer:

Ea=  1.8 x 10⁵ J

Explanation:

Use the Arrehenius equation to obtain the activation energy by comparing them at the two temperatures as follows:

k = A e^-Ea/RT     where k = rate constant

                                        A = Arrhenius constant

                                        Ea = activation energy

                                        T = temperature in degrees K

since we know the constants k₁ and k₂

k₁ = A e^ -Ea/RT₁  and K₂ = A e - Ea/RT₂

dividing them side by side:

k₁ = A e^ -Ea/RT₁  /  A e - Ea/RT₂

ln k₁/k₂ =  Ea/R (1/T₂ - 1/T₁ )

We have to be careful with what we call T₁ an T ₂ and be consistent then with k₁ and k₂. Lets use T₁ = 25 ºC =( 273 + 25 ) K = 298 K

so k₁ = 13.0 times/min

and likewise for k₂ = 5.0 times/min ( T = 273 + 15 ) K = 288 K

ln ( 13.0/ 5.0 ) = Ea/ 8.314 j//k ( 1/288K - 1/298K ) =

ln (2.60) x 8.314 = Ea ( 1.2 x 10 ⁻⁴)   Ea = 1.8 x 10⁵ J

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trava [24]

Answer:

<h3>1.A                                                                                                                  2.P waves are the fastest kind of seismic wave. a longitudinal P wave has the ability to move through solid rock and fluid rock, like water or the semi-liquid layers of the earth. It pushes and pulls the rock it moves through in the same way sound waves push and pull the air.                                                                     3.The second type of body wave is the S wave or secondary wave, which is the second wave you feel in an earthquake. An S wave is slower than a P wave and can only move through solid rock, not through any liquid medium. It is this property of S waves that led seismologists to conclude that the Earth’s outer core is a liquid.                                                                        4.P Waves The first kind of body wave is the P wave or primary wave. This is the fastest kind of seismic wave, and, consequently, the first to 'arrive' at a seismic station. The P wave can move through solid rock and fluids, like water or the liquid layers of the earth. </h3><h3 />

Answer:

<u><em>Question 1: </em></u>

A) 0.289 moles.

B) 1.74 x 10²³ atoms.

<u><em>Question 2:</em></u>

A) 0.30 moles.  

B) it contains 0.3 moles of both Na and Cl.

C) it contains 6.023 x 10²³ atoms of both Na and Cl.

<u><em>Question 3:</em></u>

A) The number of moles of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) ≅ 0.0228 moles.

B) The number of moles of C atoms in sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) = 0.2763 mole of C atoms.

The number of moles of H atoms in sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) = 0.5016 mole of H atoms.

The number of moles of O atoms in sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) = 0.2508 mole of O atoms.

C) The number of C atoms = 1.65 x 10²³ atoms.

The number of H atoms = 3.02 x 10²³ atoms.

The number of O atoms = 1.51 x 10²³ atoms.

Explanation:

<u><em>Question 1:</em></u>

A) The number of moles of Au in 57.01 g sample:

n = mass / molar mass,

mass = 57.01 g and molar mass = 196.966 g/mol e.

The number of moles of Au in the sample = (57.01 g) / (196.966 g/mole) = 0.289 moles.

B) The number of atoms of Au in the sample:

It is known that every mole of a substance contains Avogadro,s number (NA = 6.023 x 10²³) of molecules.

1.0 mole of Au → 6.023 x 10²³ atoms

0.289 mole of Au → ???? atoms

<em>using cross multiplication: </em>

The number of atoms of Au in the sample = (6.023 x 10²³ x 0.289 mole) / (1.0 mole) = 1.74 x 10²³ atoms.


<u><em>Question 2:</em></u>

A) The number of moles of 17.45 g of NaCl:

n = mass / molar mass,

mass = 17.45 g and molar mass = 58.44 g/mole.

The number of moles of NaCl = (17.45 g) / (58.44 g/mole) = 0.298 mole ≅ 0.30 moles.

B) The number of moles of each element in NaCl  

NaCl → Na + Cl

Each mole of NaCl contains one mole of Na and one mole of Cl.

<em><u>using cross multiplication: </u></em>

1.0 mole NaCl → 1.0 mole Na

0.3 mole NaCl → ??? mole Na

The number of moles of Na atoms in NaCl = (1.0 mole Na x 0.3 mole NaCl) / (1.0 mole NaCl) = 0.3 mole of Na atoms.

by the same way; the number of moles of Cl atoms = (1.0 mole Cl x 0.3 mole NaCl) / (1.0 mole NaCl) = 0.3 mole of Cl atoms.

C) The number of atoms of each element in the sample:

It is known that every mole of a substance contains Avogadro,s number (NA = 6.023 x 10²³) of molecules.

1.0 mole of NaCl → 6.023 x 10²³ molecules

0.3 mole of NaCl → ???? molecules

<em><u>using cross multiplication:</u></em>

The number of molecules in 0.3 mole of NaCl = (6.023 x 10²³ x 0.3 mole) / (1.0 mole) = 1.8069 x 10²³ molecules.

Every molecule of NaCl contains one atom of Na and one atom of Cl.

So, it contains 6.023 x 10²³ atoms of both Na and Cl.


<u><em>Question 3:</em></u>

A) The number of moles of 7.801 g of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁):

n = mass / molar mass,

mass = 7.801 g and molar mass = 342.3 g/mole.

The number of moles of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) = (7.801 g) / (342.3 g/mol) = 0.022789 mol ≅ 0.0228 moles.

B) The number of moles of each element in sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁):

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ → 12C + 22H + 11O

Each mole of sucrose contains 12 moles of C, 22 moles of H, and 11 moles of O.

  • <em><u>using cross multiplication: </u></em>

1.0 mole of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) → 12.0 moles C

0.0228 mole of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) → ??? moles C

The number of moles of C atoms in sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) = (12.0 moles C x 0.0228 moles of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁)) / (1.0 mole sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁)) = 0.2763 mole of C atoms.

  • By the same way; the number of moles of H atoms:

1.0 mole of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) → 22.0 moles H

0.0228 mole of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) → ??? moles H

The number of moles of H atoms in sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) = (22.0 moles H x 0.0228 moles of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁)) / (1.0 mole sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁)) = 0.5016 mole of H atoms.

  • Also; the number of moles of O atoms:

1.0 mole of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) → 11.0 moles O

0.0228 mole of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) → ??? moles O

The number of moles of O atoms in sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) = (11.0 moles H x 0.0228 moles of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁)) / (1.0 mole sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁)) = 0.2508 mole of O atoms.

C) The number of atoms of each element in the sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) sample:

It is known that every mole of a substance contains Avogadro,s number (NA = 6.023 x 10²³) of molecules.

1.0 mole of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) → 6.023 x 10²³ molecules

0.0228 mole of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) → ???? molecules

<em><u>using cross multiplication: </u></em>

The number of molecules in 0.0228 mole of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) = (6.023 x 10²³ x 0.0228 mole) / (1.0 mole) = 1.273 x 10²² molecules.

Each molecule of sucrose contains 12 atoms of C, 22 atoms of H, and 11 atoms of O.

So, the number of each atom that the sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) sample contains are:

The number of C atoms = (12 x 1.273 x 10²² molecules) = 1.65 x 10²³ atoms.

The number of H atoms = (22 x 1.273 x 10²² molecules) = 3.02 x 10²³ atoms.

The number of O atoms = (11 x 1.273 x 10²² molecules) = 1.51 x 10²³ atoms.
