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

A certain first-order reaction 45% complete in 65seconds, determine the rate constant and the half life for the process ​
masha68 [24]

The rate constant : k = 9.2 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

The half life : t1/2 = 75.3 s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction 45% complete in 65 s

Required

The rate constant and the half life

Solution

For first order ln[A]=−kt+ln[A]o

45% complete, 55% remains

A = 0.55

Ao = 1

Input the value :

ln A = -kt + ln Ao

ln 0.55 = -k.65 + ln 1

-0.598=-k.65

k = 9.2 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

The half life :

t1/2 = (ln 2) / k

t1/2 = 0.693 : 9.2 x 10⁻³

t1/2 = 75.3 s

Josefina and Raul were comparing how sound moves through various mediums and how charge moves through conducting wires. They per
Fed [463]

They found that difference occurs in the speed of both sound and charges occur due to the difference in the type of medium.

Sound and charges needs specific medium for faster movement i.e. sound moves faster in solid as compared to liquid and gas whereas charges moves faster and easily in gold due to lower resistance which is followed by copper. Sound can move from solid, liquid and gases whereas charges move only in solid metal in which free electrons are present. The speed of sound and flow of current are affected due to difference in the arrangement of atoms in solid, liquid and gas.

Sort the following chemicals for their ability to act as an oxidizer. List from strongest to weakest; 1 being strongest, 6 being
spin [16.1K]
Answer : If we list the given chemicals according to their increasing oxidising ability then the order will be like this; 1 being the strongest and 6 being the weakest 
1. K > 2. Ca >3. Ni> 4. Cu> 5. Ag> 6.Au

Explanation : Considering the reduction potential of each chemical species it will be easy to identify their oxidising capacity and differentiate accordingly;

More negative the value of reduction potential more is the ability of the chemical species to get oxidised.

Chemicals with their reduction potential is given below.

K has -2.92; Ca has -2.76; Ni has -0.23; Cu has 0.52; Ag has 1.50 and Au has 1.50.
