nd on the initial concentration of the reactant. Which statement is most likely true for this reaction?
O A doubling of the initial concentration of the reactant results in a quadrupling of the rate.
O A plot of the natural log of the concentration of the reactant as a function of time is linear.
O The half-life of the reaction increases as the initial concentration increases.

Answer: A plot of the natural log of the concentration of the reactant as a function of time is linear.

Explanation:

Since it was explicitly stated in the question that the half life is independent of the initial concentration of the reactant then the third option must necessarily be false. Also, the plot of the natural logarithm of the concentration of reactant against time for a first order reaction is linear. In a first order reaction, the half life is independent of the initial concentration of the reactant. Hence the answer.

A 0.879 g sample of a CaCl2 ∙ 2 H2O / K2C2O4 ∙ H2O solid salt mixture is dissolved in 150 mL of deionized water. A precipitate f
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

a. CaCl₂.2 H₂O (aq) + K₂C₂O₄. H₂O (aq) ----> 2 KCl + CaC₂O₄ (s) + 3 H₂0 (l)

b. Ca²+ (aq) + C₂O₄²- (aq) ----> CaC₂O₄ (s)

C. moles of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted in the mixture = 0.00222 moles

d. Mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted = 0.326 g

e. Moles of K₂C₂O₄.2 H₂O reacted = 0.00222 moles

f. Mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O reacted = 0.408 g

g. mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O remaining unreacted = 0.145 g

h. Percent by mass CaCl₂.2 H₂O = 37.1%

Percent by mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O = 62.9%

Explanation:

a. Molecular equation of the reaction is given below :

CaCl₂.2 H₂O (aq) + K₂C₂O₄. H₂O (aq) ----> 2 KCl + CaC₂O₄ (s) + 3 H₂0 (l)

b. The net ionic equation is given below

Ca²+ (aq) + C₂O₄²- (aq) ----> CaC₂O₄ (s)

C. mass CaC₂O₄ produced = 0.284 g, molar mass of CaC₂O₄ = 128 g/mol

moles CaC₂O₄ produced = 0.284 g / 128 g/mol = 0.00222 moles

Mole ratio of CaC₂O₄ and CaCl₂.2 H₂O is 1 : 1, therefore moles of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted in the mixture = 0.00222 moles

d. Mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted in the mixture = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O = 147 g/mol

Mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted = 0.00222 moles × 147 g/mol = 0.326 g

e. Mole ratio of K₂C₂O₄.2 H₂O and CaC₂O₄ is 1 : 1, therefore, moles of K₂C₂O₄.2 H₂O reacted = 0.00222 moles

f. Mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O reacted in the mixture = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O = 184 g/mol

grams K2C2O4-H2O reacted = 0.00222 moles 184 g/mole = 0.408 g

g. Mass of sample = 0.879 g

mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O in sample completely used up = 0.326 g

mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O in sample = 0.879 g - 0.326 g = 0.553 g

mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O remaining unreacted = 0.553 g - 0.408 g = 0.145 g

h. Percent by mass CaCl₂.2 H₂O = 0.326 /0.879 x 100% = 37.1%

Percent by mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O = 0.553/0.879 × 100% = 62.9%

A student is asked to determine the molarity of a strong base by titrating it with 0.250 M solution of H2SO4. The students is in
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The molarity of the strong base is 0.625 M

Which procedural error will result in a strong base molarity that is too high?

⇒ Using a buret with a tip filled with air rather than the H2SO4 solution

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Molarity of H2SO4 = 0.250 M

The initial buret reading is 5.00 mL

The final reading is 30.00 mL

<u />

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate volume of H2SO4 used

30.00 mL - 5.00 mL = 25.00 mL

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate moles of H2SO4

0.250 M = 0.250 mol/L

Since there are 2 H+ ions per H2SO4

0.250 mol/L  * 2 = 0.500 mol/L

The number of moles H2SO4 = 0.500 mol/L * 0.025 L

Number of moles H2SO4 = 0.0125 mol

<u>Step 4</u>: Calculate moles of OH-

For 1 mol H2SO4, we need 1 mol of OH-

For 0.0125 mol of H2SO4, we have 0.0125 mol of OH-

<u>Step 5</u>: Calculate the molarity of the strong base

Molarity = moles / volume

Molarity OH- = 0.0125 mol / 0.02 L

Molarity OH - = 0.625 M

Which procedural error will result in a strong base molarity that is too high?

⇒ Using a buret with a tip filled with air rather than the H2SO4 solution

The average score for games played in the NFL is 21.1 and the standard deviation is 8.9 points. 46 games are randomly selected.
kaheart [24]

Answer:

A) P(21.4317 < ¯x < 22.7561) = 0.2975

B) Q1 for the ¯x distribution = 21.9844

Explanation:

The Central Limit theorem allows us to say that

Sample mean = Population mean = 21.1 points

Mean of sampling distribution = σₓ = (σ/√n)

σ = population standard deviation = 8.9 points

n = sample size = 46

σₓ = (8.9/√46) = 1.3122334098 = 1.3122

A) P(21.4317 < ¯x < 22.7561) =

This is a normal distribution problem

To find this probability, we will use the normal probability tables

We first normalize/standardize 21.4317 and 22.7561.

The standardized score of any value is that value minus the mean divided by the standard deviation.

For 21.4317

z = (x - μ)/σ = (21.4317 - 21.1)/1.3122 = 0.25

For 22.7561

z = (x - μ)/σ = (22.7561 - 21.1)/1.3122 = 1.26

The required probability

P(21.4317 < ¯x < 22.7561) = P(0.25 < z < 1.26)

Checking the tables

P(21.4317 < ¯x < 22.7561) = P(0.25 < z < 1.26)

= P(z < 1.26) - P(z < 0.25)

= 0.89617 - 0.59871

= 0.29746 = 0.2975 to 4 d.p.

B) Q1 for the distribution is the first quartile. The first quartile is greater than 25% of the distribution.

P(x > Q1) = 0.25

Let the z-score that corresponds to Q1 be z'

P(x > Q1) = P(z > z') = 0.25

But P(z > z') = 1 - P(z ≤ z') = 0.25

P(z ≤ z') = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

From the normal distribution tables,

z' = 0.674

z' = (Q1 - μ)/σ

0.674 = (Q1 - 21.1)/1.3122

Q1 = 0.674×1.3122 + 21.1 = 21.9844228 = 21.9844 to 4 d.p.

Hope this Helps!!!

How many grams of sodium carbonate are produced when 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with aluminum carbonate?
Korvikt [17]

Answer: There is 842.54 grams of sodium carbonate are produced when 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with aluminum carbonate.

Explanation:

Chemical equation depicting reaction between sodium phosphate and aluminum carbonate is as follows.

Al_{2}(CO_{3})_{3} + 2Na_{3}PO_{4} \rightarrow 2AlPO_{4} + 3Na_{2}CO_{3}

As this equation contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side. So, this equation is a balanced equation.

According to the equation, 2 moles of sodium phosphate is giving 3 moles of sodium carbonate.

Therefore, sodium carbonate formed by 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate is as follows.

\frac{3}{2} \times 5.3 mol\\= 7.95 mol

As number of moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass. So, mass of sodium carbonate ( molar mass = 105.98 g/mol) is as follows.

No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\7.95 mol = \frac{mass}{105.98 g/mol}\\mass = 842.54 g

Thus, we can conclude that there is 842.54 grams of sodium carbonate are produced when 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with aluminum carbonate.
