g Tom's roommate Bob spilled crystal violet solution on his lab coat, and Tom offers to use some lye (sodium hydroxide solution)

to clean it off. Bob suggest diluting the lye with water, but Tom argues that the cleaning action will be faster if concentrated lye is used. Bob counters that the speed of cleaning doesn't depend on the concentration of the lye. Who is correct? Use your results to support your conclusion.

Answer:

Tom is correct. The rate of reaction of Crystal violet and NaOH is first order with respect to NaOH, hence, a higher concentration of NaOH corresponds to a higher rate of reaction; a faster reaction.

This means the speed of cleaning depends on the concentration of the lye used.

Explanation:

The reaction between Crystal violet and NaOH, represented as

CV⁺ + OH⁻ → CVOH

It is a reaction that is know to turn the violet colour of the crystal violet colourless.

The rate of the reaction is also known to be second order; first order with respect to Crystal violet and first order with respect to NaOH.

This means that the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of NaOH provided all other parameters such as the rate constant and the concentration of Crystal violet are constant.

Hence, the reaction becomes faster with an increased concentration of NaOH.

So, Tom is right, concentrated lye solution would remove the stain faster.

Bob is wrong.

Hope this Helps!!!

Match each process to where it occurs in the carbon cycle
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Carbon enters the atmosphere by respiration.

Carbon dioxide is absorbed by producers in photosynthesis.  

Then carbon transfers from organism to organism from animals eating the plants then the animals eating the other animals.

Then the animals and plants die and decomposes release CO2 back into the atmosphere to start the process again.

Mr. Chem S. Tree added water to 250. ML of a 2.50 M NaOH solution, until the final volume was 500. ML. What is the new molarity
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

molarity of diluted solution = 1.25 M

Explanation:

Using,          

C1V1 (Stock solution) = C2V2 (dilute solution)

given that

C1 = 2.50M

V1 = 250ML

C2 = ?

V2 = 500ML

2.50 M x 250 mL = C2 x 500 mL

C2 = (2.50 M x 250 mL) / 500 mL

C2 = 1.25 M

Hence, molarity of diluted solution = 1.25 M
