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

Silver acetate breaks into ions. How many ions would one single formula unit make if dissolved in water? a. 1b. 2c. 3 d. 4 e. no
slava [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is b) 2

Explanation:

When is dissolved in water, silver acetate (AgCH₃COO) is dissociated into ions according to the following equilibrium:

AgCH₃COO ⇄ Ag⁺ + CH₃COO⁻

Where Ag⁺ is a silver cation and CH₃COO⁻ is the acetate anion (an organic anion). As we can see, from one single formula unit are obtained 2 ions (1 cation and 1 anion).

Therefore, the correct option is b) - 2

Explain why the atomic radius of aluminium is smaller than that of sodium.
garik1379 [7]
Okay, to explain this you might have to grab a periodic table.

Do you have one? Good. Look at the most left side of the periodic table. The first group is the largest atoms in the periodic table. If you go to the right of the periodic table, the atoms get progressively smaller and smaller.

Why is this? Don't atoms get more electrons, and so become significantly bigger as they move to the right?

Although atoms do get more electrons as they go to the right, they also get more protons too. Protons pull on electrons and make atoms smaller. Because of this, going from left to right in a periodic table makes the atoms smaller and smaller, since more and more protons are added.

In this scenario, Aluminum is more to the right than Sodium, which means that it has more protons. Because of this, the protons in Aluminum pull more strongly on electrons than sodium, thus making aluminum smaller.

(Just a side note, going down in a periodic table makes the atoms bigger, since new shells are added every time)

Good luck! If you need any help, just ask :))
