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!!!

The Andes Mountains are found along the western coast of South America. Which kind of plate boundary is responsible for this mou
lozanna [386]

The Nazca plate is converging with the South American plate.

Explanation:

The Andes Mountains are formed as a result of the convergent of the Nazca plate and the South American plate.

This mountain range typifies the geology and geography of the South American continent.

  • Along this convergent margin, one plate subducts beneath the other.
  • The oceanic plate due to its density goes into the mantle.
  • The causes the continent riding to obduct and be forced.
  • With rising magmatic bodies beneath, the continent further pushes up to form the Andes ranges.

Allushta [10]

Answer:

2C_{10} H_{22(l)} + 31O2(g)--> 20CO_{2(g)} + 22H_{2}O_{(g)}

Explanation:

2C_{10} H_{22(g)} + 31O2(g)--> 20CO_{2(g)} + 22H_{2}O_{(g)}

From the question, one can work out which states of matter to assign to which species. The trick with organic equations of this nature is to try to balance everything but oxygen first. Make sure you balance oxygen last because it is the easiest to balance.
