Under the same initial conditions as in Experiment 4, calculate [NH4+] at 274 seconds after the start of the reaction. In this experiment, both reactants are present at the same initial concentration. The units should be M, and should be calculated to three significant figures.

Answer :

The rate law becomes:

\text{Rate}=k[NH_4^+][NO_2^-]

The value of the rate constant 'k' for this reaction is 3.0\times 10^{-2}M^{-1}s^{-1}

The concentration of [NH_4^+] at 274 seconds after the start of the reaction is 0.0604 M

Explanation :

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

NH_4^+(aq)+NO_2^-(aq)\rightarrow N_2(g)+H_2O(l)

Rate law expression for the reaction:

\text{Rate}=k[NH_4^+]^a[NO_2^-]^b

where,

a = order with respect to NH_4^+

b = order with respect to NO_2^-

Expression for rate law for first observation:

7.2\times 10^{-4}=k(0.24)^a(0.10)^b ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

3.6\times 10^{-4}=k(0.12)^a(0.10)^b ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

5.4\times 10^{-4}=k(0.12)^a(0.15)^b ....(3)

Expression for rate law for fourth observation:

4.3\times 10^{-4}=k(0.12)^a(0.12)^b ....(4)

Dividing 2 from 1, we get:

\frac{7.2\times 10^{-4}}{3.6\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{k(0.24)^a(0.10)^b}{k(0.12)^a(0.10)^b}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1

Dividing 2 from 3, we get:

\frac{5.4\times 10^{-4}}{3.6\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{k(0.12)^a(0.15)^b}{k(0.12)^a(0.10)^b}\\\\1.5=1.5^b\\b=1

Thus, the rate law becomes:

\text{Rate}=k[NH_4^+]^1[NO_2^-]^1

\text{Rate}=k[NH_4^+][NO_2^-]

Now, calculating the value of 'k' by using any expression.

7.2\times 10^{-4}=k(0.24)(0.10)

k=3.0\times 10^{-2}M^{-1}s^{-1}

Hence, the value of the rate constant 'k' for this reaction is 3.0\times 10^{-2}M^{-1}s^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the [NH_4^+] at 274 seconds after the start of the reaction.

For experiment 4 , the initial concentration of [NH_4^+] and [NO_2^-] are same  and the reaction is 1st order for both.

So, it can be considered as a 2nd order reaction.

The expression for second order reaction is:

kt=\frac{1}{[A_t]}-\frac{1}{[A_o]}

where,

k = rate constant = 3.0\times 10^{-2}M^{-1}s^{-1}

t = time = 274 s

[A_t] = final concentration = ?

[A_o] = initial concentration = 0.12 M

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

3.0\times 10^{-2}\times 274=\frac{1}{A_t}-\frac{1}{0.12}

[A_t]=0.0604M

Therefore, the concentration of [NH_4^+] at 274 seconds after the start of the reaction is 0.0604 M

Which of the following best describes the changes involved in a fission reaction?
never [62]
The correct answer is this: THE NUCLEUS OF AN ATOM SPLITS INTO FRAGMENTS, RELEASING A LARGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY.
Nuclear fission is the process in which the nucleus of a radioactive element split into two different nucleic of smaller sizes of different elements with a large release of energy. Nuclear fission process is usually used to provide energy for electricity generation.
