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

Aqueous solutions of isopropyl alcohol are commonly sold as rubbing alcohol. The boiling point of isopropyl alcohol is 82.4 °C.
Monica [59]

Answer:

This is due to more hydrogen bonding in ethylene glycol than it is in isopropyl alcohol

Explanation:

The boiling point of isopropyl alcohol is 82.4 °C it contains only a single OH group, hence intermolecular hydrogen bonding is solely responsible for it's boiling point, whereas Ethylene glycol (CH2OHCH2OH) contains 2-OH group and both intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding are responsible for the higher boiling point of ethylene glycol at 198 °C.

Calculate the energy required to produce 7.00 mol Cl2O7 on the basis of the following balanced equation. 2Cl2(g) + 7O2(g) + 130
KatRina [158]

Explanation:

As the given chemical reaction equation is as follows.

      2Cl_{2}(g) + 7O_{2}(g) + 130 kcal \rightarrow 2Cl_{2}O_{7}(g)

Also, it is given that for 2 moles the energy required is 130 kcal. This means that energy required for 1 mole is calculated as follows.

                   1 mole = \frac{130 kcal}{2}

                               = 65 kcal

Hence, energy required for 7 moles will be calculated as follows.

              Energy required = 7 \times 65 kcal

                                           = 455 kcal

Thus, we can conclude that energy required to produce 7.00 mol Cl_{2}O_{7} on the basis of given reaction is 455 kcal.

A ridged steel tank filled with 62.7L of nitrogen gas of 85.0L atm
mylen [45]

The final gas pressure : 175.53 atm

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Maybe the complete question is like this :

A ridged steel tank filled with 62.7 l of nitrogen gas at 85.0 atm and 19 °C is heated to 330 °C while the volume remains constant. what is the final gas pressure?

The volume remains constant⇒Gay Lussac's Law  

<em>When the volume is not changed, the gas pressure in the tube is proportional to its absolute temperature  </em>

\tt \dfrac{P_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2}{T_2}

P₁=85 atm

T₁=19+273=292 K

T₂=330+273=603 K

\tt P_2=\dfrac{P_1\times T_2}{T_1}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{85\times 603}{292}\\\\P_2=175.53~atm
