Ethene will not typically react with hydrogen gas through simple bimolecular collisions. Using the picture, explain how this rea

ction becomes possible.
A: A metal surface is catalyzing the reaction by speeding up the kinetic energy of hydrogen gas and, as a result, breaking its bonds so that it can react with ethene.

B: A metal surface is acting as a catalyst and lowers the activation energy of bond breaking of hydrogen gas.

C: Ethene is stabilized by a metal surface and hydrogen gas catalyzes the metal surface so that it can react with ethene.

D: Ethene is catalyzed by a metal surface and, therefore, raises the activation energy of hydrogen gas breaking apart.

Suppose you have just added 100 ml of a solution containing 0.5 mol of acetic acid per liter to 400 ml of 0.5 m naoh. what is th
Tpy6a [65]

pH = 13.5

Explanation:

Sodium hydroxide completely ionizes in water to produce sodium ions and hydroxide ions. Hydroxide ions are in excess and neutralize all acetic acid added by the following ionic equation:

\text{HAc} + \text{OH}^{-} \to \text{Ac}^{-} + \text{H}_2\text{O}

The mixture would contain

  • 0.4 \times 0.5 - 0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.15 \; \text{mol} of \text{OH}^{-} and
  • 0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.05 \; \text{mol} of \text{Ac}^{-}

if \text{Ac}^{-} undergoes no hydrolysis; the solution is of volume 0.1 + 0.4 = 0.5 \; \text{L} after the mixing. The two species would thus be of concentration 0.30 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1} and 0.10 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}, respectively.

Construct a RICE table for the hydrolysis of \text{Ac}^{-} under a basic aqueous environment (with a negligible hydronium concentration.)

\begin{array}{cccccccc} \text{R} & \text{Ac}^{-}(aq) &+ & \text{H}_2\text{O}(aq) & \leftrightharpoons & \text{HAc}(aq) & + & \text{OH}^{-} (aq)\\ \text{I} & 0.10 \; \text{M} & & & & & &0.30 \; \text{M}\\ \text{C} & -x \; \text{M}& & & & +x \; \text{M}& & +x \; \text{M} \\ \text{E} & (0.10 - x) \; \text{M} & & & & x \; \text{M} & & (0.30 +x) \; \text{M} \end{array}

The question supplied the <em>acid</em> dissociation constant pK_afor acetic acid \text{HAc}; however, calculating the hydrolysis equilibrium taking place in this basic mixture requires the <em>base</em> dissociation constant pK_b for its conjugate base, \text{Ac}^{-}. The following relationship relates the two quantities:

pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = pK_{w} - pK_{a}( \text{HAc})

... where the water self-ionization constant pK_w \approx 14 under standard conditions. Thus pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = 14 - 4.7 = 9.3. By the definition of pK_b:

[\text{HAc} (aq)] \cdot [\text{OH}^{-} (aq)] / [\text{Ac}^{-} (aq) ] = K_b =  10^{-pK_{b}}

x \cdot (0.3 + x) / (0.1 - x) = 10^{-9.3}

x = 1.67 \times 10^{-10} \; \text{M} \approx 0 \; \text{M}

[\text{OH}^{-}] = 0.30 +x \approx 0.30 \; \text{M}

pH = pK_{w} - pOH = 14 + \text{log}_{10}[\text{OH}^{-}] = 14 + \text{log}_{10}{0.30} = 13.5

What is a reaction mechanism
ehidna [41]

Answer:

In chemistry, a reaction mechanism is the step by step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical change occurs. A chemical mechanism is a theoretical conjecture that tries to describe in detail what takes place at each stage of an overall chemical reaction.

A. Identify the steps of the scientific method?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

1. The steps of the scientific method consist of seven things: Ask a question, get the research needed for a experiment, (What are you trying to find out? What materials do I need to complete the experiment? What are the procedures needed to complete the experiment?) create a hypothesis, (your educated guess on what you think the results of the experiment will be) conduct a experiment (complete multiple different trials preferably three) to test your hypothesis, make observations and record data during the experiment, draw a conclusion, (Was your hypothesis correct? Yes or no and explain why it is wrong or right) present your findings.

2. A hypothesis is a educated guess that the scientist believe will be the answer at the end of the experiment which is why they conduct a experiment in the first place to find viable data that will support their hypothesis.

3.  Predictions consist of theories that will test the hypothesis (educated guess) because they're the reasoning to why you believe your guess is correct.

4. A control group consists of variables that do not go through change during a experiment, things that remain the same.

5. Data can be presented in many different ways in the form of graphs, charts, or a research paper. You find the data by completing multiple different trials in a experiment, to make sure you have valid results to write down in your data research.

6. Remember that your hypothesis is your educated guess at the beginning of the experiment, what YOU thought was going to happen during the experiment and if the data you received during the experiment supports your hypothesis.

7. Your procedures, perhaps you measured a variable wrong, perhaps you used to much, or to little of a variable, all depends on your experiment.

8. Having people review and test your data by conducting their own experiments will not only make sure that your data is valid but it insures you even more of your conclusion, making it more accepted by other scientists.

Hope this helps.
