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!!!

Sever21 [200]
Yes.
Mols x Avogadro's Constant (6.02x10^23) = number of molecules.
You can rearrange that formula to find the number of Mols. Hope this helped

Talja [164]

Answer:

Oxygen atom, because the partial negative charge is localized on the oxygen atom.

Explanation:

A cation is a positive ion, so to associate with it, would be necessary a negative ion, an anion. When the water dissociates, it will form 2H^{+} and O^{-2}.

So, oxygen has a negative charge, and in the molecule, the partial negative charge because it's more electronegative. Then, oxygen will be associated with the cation.
