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!!!

In the experiment "Beer-Lambert’s Law and Spectrophotometry", you prepared a calibration plot similar to the one pictured below.
dexar [7]

Answer:

0.025M

Explanation:

As you must see in your graph, each concentration of the experiment has an absorbance. Following the Beer-Lambert's law that states "The absorbance of a solution is directely proportional to its concentration".

At 0.35 of absorbance, the plot has a concentration of:

Annie has a soccer ball and a kickball she kicks each ball with the same force the soccer ball accelerates at 3 m/s to the secon
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Because of less weight kick ball has more acceleration.

Explanation:

Acceleration of kick ball:

5 m/s

Acceleration of soccer ball:

3 m/s

Newton's second law:

According to newton's second law the acceleration of object depends upon two variables.

1) Mass of object

2) Force acting on it

Mathematical expression:

a = f/m

a = acceleration

f = force

m = mass

The force on balls are same thus the acceleration is depend upon the masses of balls.

The soccer ball has more weight that's why its acceleration is less while kick ball is lighter and thus its acceleration will more.
