Which of the following gases was most likely present in Earth’s earliest atmosphere?

How many moles of methane (CH4) are in 7.31 x 10^25 molecules

Ivan

molar mass of methane CH4

= C + 4 H

= 12.0 + 4 x 1.008

= 12.0 + 4.032

= 16.042g/mol

7.31 x 10^25 molecules x 1 mole CH4 = 121.43 moles

6.02 x 10^23 CH4 molecules

121.43 moles CH4 are present.

When energy is added to a substance at constant volume and pressure, its temperature increases except ________.

Travka [436]

A. When the substance is in its gaseous state.

Explanation:

When a substance is expanding against its constant volume and pressure, its temperature increases except when the substance is in gaseous state and not in liquid or solid state. So the internal energy increase in the system not only increases and maintaining the volume and pressure of the system remains constant in its gaseous phase. In the first law of Thermodynamics, it is used specifically that to especially in the case of gaseous system.

Boling water is considered as

professor190 [17]

Answer:Boiling water is a physical change, as it rearranges molecules but does not affect the internal structures. Boiling water forces the water molecules away from each other as the liquid changes to vapor. In a chemical change, new chemical substances are created or formed. Advertisement. Physical changes affect the state of an item, and a chemical change happens at a molecular level.

A second- order reaction of the type A + B -->P was carried out in a solution that was initially 0.075 mol dm^-3 in A and 0.0

andriy [413]

Answer:

a) 16.2 dm^3/mol*h

b) 6.1 × 10^3 s, 2.5 × 10^3 s (it is different to the hint)

Explanation:

We can use the integrated rate equation in order to obtain k.

For the reaction A+ B --> P the reaction rate is written as

Rate = $-\frac{dC_A}{dt} = -\frac{dC_B}{dt} = \frac{dC_P}{dt} = kC_AC_B$

If $C_{A0}$ and $C_{B0}$ are the inital concentrations and x the concentration reacted at time t, so $C_A=C_{A0} -x$ and $C_B=C_{B0} -x$ and the rate at time t is written as:

$-\frac{dx}{dt} =-k(C_{A0} -x)(C_{B0}-x)$

Separating variables and integrating

$\int\limits^x_0 {\frac{1}{(C_{A0}-x)(C_{B0}-x)} } \, dx = \int\limits^t_0 {k} \, dt$

The integral in left side is solved by partial fractions, it can be used integral tables

$\frac{1}{C_{B0}-C_{A0}}(ln\frac{C_{A0}}{C_{A0}-x}-ln\frac{C_{B0}}{C_{B0}-x}) =kt$

Using logarithm properties (ln x - ln y = ln(x/y))

$\frac{1}{C_{B0}-C_{A0}}(ln\frac{C_{A0}C_{B}}{C_{A}C_{B0}}) =kt$

Using the given values k can be calculated. But the data seems inconsistent since if the concentration of A changes from 0.075 to 0.02 mol dm^-3 it implies that 0.055 mol dm^-3 of A have reacted after 1 h, so according to the reaction given the same quantity of B should react, and we only have a $C_{B0}$ of 0.05 mol dm^-3.

Assuming that the concentration of B fall to 0.02 mol dm^-3 (and not the concentration the A). So we arrive to the answer given in the Hint.

So, the values given are t= 1, $C_{A0}=0.075$ , $C_{B0}=0.05$ , $C_{B}=0.02$ , it implies that the quantity reacted, x, is 0.03 and $C_{A}=0.075-x = 0.045$ . Then, the value of k would be

$kt = \frac{1}{0.05-0.075}(ln\frac{0.075*0.02}{0.045*0.05})$

$k = 16.21 \frac{dm^3}{mol*1h}$

b) the question b requires calculate the time when the concentration of the specie is half of the initial concentration.

For reactant A, It is solved with the same equation

$\frac{1}{C_{B0}-C_{A0}}(ln\frac{C_{A0}C_{B}}{C_{A}C_{B0}}) =kt$

but suppossing that $C_A= C_{A0}/2=0.0375$ so $C_B=C_{B0}- C_{A0}/2=0.0125$ , k=16.2 and the same initial concentrations. Replacing in the equation

$t=\frac{1}{16.2(0.05-0.075)}(ln\frac{0.075*0.0125}{0.0375*0.05})$

$t=1.71 h = 1.71*3600 s = 6.1*10^3 s$

For reactant B, $C_B= C_{B0}/2=0.025$ so $C_A=C_{A0}- C_{B0}/2=0.05$ , k=16.2 and the same initial concentrations. Replacing in the equation

$t=\frac{1}{16.2(0.05-0.075)}(ln\frac{0.075*0.025}{0.05*0.05})$

$t=0.71 h = 0.7*3600 s = 2.5*10^3 s$

Note: The procedure presented is correct, despite of the answer be something different to the given in the hint, I obtain that result if the k is 19.2... (maybe an error in calculation of given numbers)
