To determine which order of the reaction it is, first we need to calculate the rate of change of moles.
the data is as follows 
time         0         40        80       120       160
moles    0.100   0.067  0.045    0.030    0.020


Q1)
for the first 40 s change of moles ;
      = -d[A] / t
      = - (0.067-0.100)/40s
      = 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
for the next 40 s
      = -(0.045-0.067)/40
      = 5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
the 40 s after that
      = -(0.030-0.045)/40 s 
     = 3.75 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
k - rate constant
and A is the only reactant that affects the rate of the reaction

rate = k [A]ᵇ
8.25 × 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]ᵇ ----1
5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.067 mol]ᵇ   -----2
divide the 2nd equation by the 1st equation
1.5 = [1.49]ᵇ
b is almost equal to 1
Therefore this is a first order reaction

Q2)
to find out the rate constant(k), we have to first state the equation for a first order reaction.
rate = k[A]ᵇ
As A is the only reactant thats considered for the rate equation. 
Since this is a first order reaction,
b = 1
therefore the reaction is 
rate = k[A]
substituting the values,
8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]
k = 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s /0.100mol
   = 8.25 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

PLEASE HELP FAST!! How much energy (in calories) is need to melt 3.0 moles of ice?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Energy

Explanation:

The heat required to change the phase of a substance is given by the equation:

Q= mL (Q= Heat required, m= mass, L= Latent Heat of Fusion/Evaporation/Anything else).

So, according to your values:

Q= 3.0 kg x 333 kJ/Kg

So, Q= 999 kJ

How many liters of a 6.0M solution Fe(SCN)2 are needed to prepare 2.0L of a 0.75M solution?
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

0.25L

Explanation:

Using the dilution formula

C1V1=C2V2

C1=6M

V1?

C2=0.75M

V2=2.0L

V1= C2V2/C1

V1=0.75*2.0/6

V1=0.25L

All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds. Explain this statement.
Elis [28]
All compounds are molecules because a molecule is 2 or more substances/elements combined and a compound is 2 or more elements combined. But not all molecules are elements because some molecules are just combined substances with no elements combined at all.
