In kinetics, the order of a reaction

1 answer:

4 0

I think it should be C. You can't always look at the chemical equation of a reaction and tell what order the over all reaction will be. To do this, you need to preform experiments that have some concentrations held constant while changing others to see how the concentrations affected the rate. After enough trials with enough concentrations held constant and changed, you will be able to determine the order of each reactant which will give you the order of the overall reaction.

I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

A weather system moving through the American Midwest produced rain with an average pH of 5.02. By the time the system reached Ne

Answer:

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.

Explanation:

The acidity of a solution depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions ([H⁺]). We can calculate this concentration from the pH using the following expression.

pH = -log ([H⁺])

American Midwest

pH = -log ([H⁺])

5.02 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-5.02) = 9.55 × 10⁻⁶ M

New England

pH = -log ([H⁺])

4.66 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-4.66) = 2.19 × 10⁻⁵ M

The ratio of concentrations is:

$\frac{2.19 \times 10^{-5} M }{9.55 \times 10^{-6} M} =2.29$

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.

Of the five salts listed below, which has the highest concentration of its cation in water? assume that all salt solutions are s

Zigmanuir [339]

First of all, I need to know what these five salts are. Luckily, I found a similar problem from another website which is shown in the attached picture. The Ksp is the solubility product constant. It follows the formula:

Ksp = [cation concentration]ᵃ[anion concentration]ᵇ
where a and b are the subscripts of the metal and nonmetal, respectively.

For the solutions ahead, let x be the concentration of the cation.

A. The formula is PbCr₂O₄.
2.8×10⁻¹³ = [x][x]
Solving for x, x = 5.29×10⁻⁷ M

B. The formula is Co(OH)₂.
1.3×10⁻¹⁵ = [x][x]²
Solving for x, x = 1.09×10⁻⁵ M

C. The formula is CoS.
5×10⁻²² = [x][x]
Solving for x, x = 2.24×10⁻¹¹ M

D. The formula is Cr(OH)₃.
1.6×10⁻³⁰ = [x][x]³
Solving for x, x = 3.56×10⁻⁶ M

E. The formula is Ag₂S.
6×10⁻⁵¹ = [x]²[x]
Solving for x, x = 1.82×10⁻¹⁷ M

<em>Thus,the highest concentration is letter B, Cobalt (II) Hydroxide.</em>
