A particular reaction, A- products, has a rate that slows down as the reaction proceeds. The half-life of the reaction is found

to depend on the initial concentration of A. Determine whether each statement is likely to be true or false for this reaction.
a. A doubling of the concentration of A doubles the rate of the reaction.
b. A plot of 1/[A] versus time is linear.
c. The half-life of the reaction gets longer as the initial concen- tration of A increases.
d. A plot of the concentration of A versus time has a constant slope.

Explanation:

Half life of zero order and second order depends on the initial concentration. But as the given reaction slows down as the reaction proceeds, therefore, it must be second order reaction. This is because rate of reaction does not depend upon the initial concentration of the reactant.

a. As it is a second order reaction, therefore, doubling reactant concentration, will increase the rate of reaction 4 times. Therefore, the statement  a is wrong.

b. Expression for second order reaction is as follows:

\frac{1}{[A]} =\frac{1}{[A]_0} +kt

the above equation can be written in the form of Y = mx + C

so, the plot between 1/[A] and t is linear. So the statement b is true.

c.

Expression for half life is as follows:

t_{1/2}=\frac{1}{k[A]_0}

As half-life is inversely proportional to initial concentration, therefore, increase in concentration will decrease the half life. Therefore statement c is wrong.

d.

Plot between A and t is exponential, therefore there is no constant slope. Therefore, the statement d is wrong

How many moles of HBr are present in 250 ml of a 0.15 M HBr solution?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

0.0375 moles HBr

Explanation:

we are given;

  • Molarity of HBr solution as 0.15 M
  • Volume of the solution as 250 mL

We are required to determine the number of moles;

We need to know that;

Molarity = Moles ÷ Volume

Therefore;

Moles of HBr = Molarity of HBr solution × Volume of solution

Thus;

Moles of HBr = 0.15 M × 0.25 L

                      = 0.0375 Moles

Thus, the number of moles of HBr solute is 0.0375 moles
