Determine the value of k' from the slope. These graphs were plotted in terms of absorbance, but the rate constant should be in t

erms of concentration. Beer-Lambert's law and the literature value for the molar absorptivity constant (87,000 M^-1cm^-1 can be used to convert the slope from units of absorbance/s to units of concentration/s. This value is the pseudo rate constant, k'.

Answer:

k' = (2.0345 × 10⁻⁸) M/s.

Explanation:

Beer-Lambert's law explains that Absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of the substrate under consideration.

A ∝c

A = εlc

where ε = molar absorptivity constant = 87,000 M⁻¹cm⁻¹

l = path length of the solution that the light passes through in cm = 1 cm for most cases.

c = concentration of the substrate.

In terms of rate terms,

A' = εlc'

where A' has units of Absorbance/s

c' = rate of reaction, units of concentration/s

A' = εlc'

From the graph, the slope of the graph = 0.00177 Absorbance/s

0.00177 = 87000 × 1 × c'

c' = (0.00177/87000)

c' = (2.0345 × 10⁻⁸) M/s.

This value is the pseudo rate constant, k'.

Hope this Helps!!!

According to our textbook, write the formula for the anhydrous compound that was part of the mixture called natron that was used

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The formula for the anhydrous compound that was part of the mixture called natron that was used by the Egyptians is Na2(CO3)10(H2O).

They use this compound for medicine, cookery, agriculture, in glass-making and to dehydrate egyptian mummies.

Compound of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate was the name of the resulting hydrate that formed.

You have 50 ml of a complex mixture of weak acids that contains some HF (pKa = 3.18) and some HCN (pKa = 9.21). Which is larger,

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

$\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]}$ is larger

Explanation:

$pK_{a}=-logK_{a}$ , where $K_{a}$ is the acid dissociation constant.

For a monoprotic acid e.g. HA, $K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]}$ and $\frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}=\frac{K_{a}}{[H^{+}]}$

So, clearly, higher the $K_{a}$ value , lower will the the $pK_{a}$

In this mixture, at equilibrium, $[H^{+}]$ will be constant.

$K_{a}$ of HF is grater than $K_{a}$ of HCN

Hence, $(\frac{F^{-}}{[HF]}=\frac{K_{a}(HF)}{[H^{+}]})>(\frac{CN^{-}}{[HCN]}=\frac{K_{a}(HCN)}{[H^{+}]})$

So, $\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]}$ is larger

What state of matter has the strongest intermolecular forces?

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Solid

Explanation:

As the temperature continues to drop, the matter forms a solid. Due to the solid's low kinetic energy, particles have no "time" to move around, the particles have more "time" to be attracted. Therefore, solids have the strongest intramolecular forces (because they have the strongest attraction).

Determine the expected diffraction angle for the first-order diffraction from the (111) set of planes for FCC nickel (Ni) when m

faust18 [17]

Answer:

56°

Explanation:

First calculate $a:$

$a=2 R \sqrt{2}=2(0.1246) \sqrt{2}=0.352 \mathrm{nm}$

The interplanar spacing can be calculated from:

$d_{111}=\frac{a}{\sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}+1^{2}}}=\frac{0.352}{\sqrt{3}}=0.203 \mathrm{nm}$

The diffraction angle is determined from:

$\sin \theta=\frac{n \lambda}{2 d_{111}}=\frac{1(0.1927)}{2(0.2035)}=0.476$

Solve for $\theta$

$\theta=\sin ^{-1}(0.476)=28^{\circ}$

The diffraction angle is:

$2 \theta=2\left(28^{\circ}\right)=56^{\circ}$
