Answer:

r=1.59\times 10^{-10}\ M/s

Explanation:

According to the law of mass action:-

The rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the active concentration of the reactant which each are raised to the experimentally determined coefficients which are known as orders. The rate is determined by the slowest step in the reaction mechanics.

Order of in the mass action law is the coefficient which is raised to the active concentration of the reactants. It is experimentally determined and can be zero, positive negative or fractional.

The order of the whole reaction is the sum of the order of each reactant which is raised to its power in the rate law.

From the reaction given that:-

P+P\rightarrown P_2

The expression for the rate is:-

r=k[P]^2

Given that;- k= 6.2\times 10^{-3} /Ms

[P] = 1.6\times 10^{-4} M

Thus,

r=6.2\times \:10^{-3}\times \:\left(1.6\times \:\:10^{-4}\right)^2\ M/s=1.59\times 10^{-10}\ M/s

245 g water sample initially at at 32 oC absorbs 17 kcal of heat. What is the final temperature of water?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:62.66°C or 235.66K

Explanation:Q=McpT, the energy was given in calories so you first convert to Joules by multiplying the value in calories by 4.184J.

17*4.184=71.128kJ.

71.128kJ=mcpT

71.128kJ=245*4.187*(T-Tm)

Tm is the final temperature of the mixture. The T is the temperature given which should be converted to Kelvin by adding 273...T=32+273=305K.

71128J=245*4.187*(305-Tm)

71128=312873.575-1025.815Tm

1025.815Tm=312873.575-71128

1025.815Tm=241745.58

Tm=241745.58/1025.815

Tm=235.66K

Strontium sulfate becomes less soluble in an aqueous solution when sodium sulfator is added because
horsena [70]

Answer:

The addition of sulfate ions shifts equilibrium to the left.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the following ionization of strontium sulfate:

SrSO_3(s)\rightleftharpoons Sr^{2+}+SO_4^{2-}

It is evidenced that when sodium sulfate is added, sulfate, SO_4^{2+} is actually added in to the solution, which causes the equilibrium to shift leftwards according to the Le Ch athelier's principle. Thus, the answer in this case would be:

The addition of sulfate ions shifts equilibrium to the left.

Best regards!
