The decomposition of N2O to N2 and O2 is a first-order reaction. At 730°C, the rate constant of the reaction is 1.94 × 10-4 min-

1. If the initial pressure of N2O is 5.10 atm at 730°C, calculate the total gas pressure after one half-life. Assume that the volume remains constant.

Answer:

The total pressure after one half is 6.375 atm.

Explanation:

The initial pressure of product is increases while the pressure of reactant would decrease.

Balanced chemical equation:

2N₂O  → 2N₂ + O₂

The pressure of N₂O is 5.10 atm. The change in pressure would be,

N₂O = -2x

N₂ = +2x

O₂ = +x

The total pressure will be

P(total) = P(N₂O) + P(N₂)  + P(O₂)

P(total) = ( 5.10 - 2x) + (2x)  + (x)

P(total) = 5.10 + x

After one half life:

P(N₂O)  = 1/2(5.10) = 5.10 - 2x

x = 5.10 - 1/2(5.10) /2

x = 5.10 - 0.5 (5.10) /2

x = 5.10 - 2.55 / 2

x = 2.55 /2 = 1.275 atm

Thus the total pressure will be,

P(total) = 5.10 + x

P(total) = 5.10 + 1.275

P(total) = 6.375 atm

Boron sulfide, B2S3(s), reacts violently with water to form dissolved boric acid (H3BO3) and hydrogen sulfide gas.Express your a
ioda

Answer:

Explanation:

From the statement of the problem,

  B₂S₃_{s} + H₂O_{l}  →  H₃BO₃_{aq} + H₂S_{g}

              B₂S₃ + H₂O  →  H₃BO₃ + H₂S

We that the above expression does not conform with the law of conservation of mass:

To obey the law, we need to derive a balanced reaction equation:

   Let us use the mathematical method to obtain a balanced equation.

let the balanced equation be:

                        aB₂S₃ + bH₂O  →  cH₃BO₃ + dH₂S

where a, b, c and d will make the equation balanced.

  Conservating B: 2a = c

                          S: 3a = d

                          H: 2b = 3c + 2d

                           O: b = 3c

   if a = 1,

      c = 2,

      b = 6,

      2d = 2(6) - 3(2) = 6, d = 3

Now we can input this into our equation:

                     B₂S₃ + 6H₂O  →  2H₃BO₃ + 3H₂S

    B₂S₃_{s} + 6H₂O_{l}  →  2H₃BO₃_{aq} + 3H₂S_{g}

You weigh out 0.1183 g of a complex salt to analyze for the percentage of cyanide ion in your complex salt. After dissolving the
Stels [109]

Answer:

25.35%

Explanation:

Again let me restate the the equation of the reaction;

H2O (ℓ) + 2 MnO4 - (aq) + 3 CN- (aq) → 2 MnO2 (s) + 3 CNO- (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)

Amount of potassium permanganate  reacted = 10.2/1000 * 0.08035 = 8.1957 * 10^-4 moles

If 2 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 3 moles of CN-

8.1957 * 10^-4 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 8.1957 * 10^-4 * 3/2

= 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN-

Mass of CN- reacted = 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN- * 26.02 g/mol

= 0.03 g

Hence, percentage of the cyanide = 0.03 g/0.1183 g * 100

= 25.35%

A pure white crystalline compound was found to melt at 112.5-113.0oC when taken on a melting point apparatus, and on further hea
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

According to the question, the determined melting point of the compound is 112.5-113.0oC. When the solidified compound was retried, the melting point was found to be 133.6-154.5oC. This greater range higher than  112°C is caused by reusing samples leads to errors.

A pure sample is known by its sharp melting point. A pure sample does not melt over a large range. We can see this in the predetermined melting points of the pure sample(112.5-113.0oC).

However, reusing a sample introduces errors because the pure sample may become contaminated leading to a larger and higher range of melting point (133.6-154.5oC) which is far above  112°C.
