Law of conservation of mass to explain why a chemical equation must be balanced?

2 answers:

7 0

Chemical equations must always balance due to the principles outlined in The Law Of Conservation of Matter. This scientific law states that matter cannot be created out of nothing nor can it be destroyed.

Answer:

Law of conservation of mass state that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Also chemical reaction of the sum is outlined in The Law Of Conservation of Matter.

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction the sum of the masses of the products will be equal to the sum of the masses of the reactants. Thus a chemical reaction conserves the total mass. For this law to be valid the system where the reactions take place should be closed.

It has to be properly ensured that there is no transfer of energy or mass between the system and its outer environment. If that happens the sum of masses of products differs from that of the reactants due to the gain or loss of matter to surroundings.

Answer:

The correct option is: "Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is not found in the vegan diet and is very low in the lacto-vegetarian diet"

Explanation:

Homocysteine is a VERY IMPORTANT type of amino acid, a chemical that the body uses to make proteins. Normally, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and folic acid break down homocysteine and transform it into other substances that the body needs. There should be very little homocysteine left in the bloodstream. If you have high homocysteine levels in your blood, that could be a sign of a vitamin deficiency of the vitamins listed above, a heart condition, or a rare inherited disorder.

The following data were collected for the rate of disappearance of NO in the reaction 2NO(g)+O2(g)→2NO2(g)::

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

a) The rate law is: v = k[NO]² [O₂]

b) The units are: M⁻² s⁻¹

c) The average value of the constant is: 7.11 x 10³ M⁻² s⁻¹

d) The rate of disappearance of NO is 0.8 M/s

e) The rate of disappearance of O₂ is 0.4 M/s

Explanation:

The experimental rates obtained can be expressed as follows:

v1 = k ([NO]₁)ᵃ ([O₂]₁)ᵇ = 1.41 x 10⁻² M/s

v2 = k ([NO]₂)ᵃ ([O₂]₂)ᵇ = 5.64 x 10⁻² M/s

v3 = k ([NO]₃)ᵃ ([O₂]₃)ᵇ = 1.13 x 10⁻¹ M/s

where:

k = rate constant

[NO]₁ = concentration of NO in experiment 1

[NO]₂ = concentration of NO in experiment 2

[NO]₃ = concentration of NO in experiment 3

[O₂]₁ = concentration of O₂ in experiment 1

[O₂]₂ = concentration of O₂ in experiment 2

[O₂]₃ = concentration of O₂ in experiment 3

a and b = order of the reaction for each reactive respectively.

We can see these equivalences:

[NO]₂ = 2[NO]₁

[O₂]₂ = [O₂]₁

[NO]₃ = [NO]₂

[O₂]₃ = 2[O₂]₂

So, v2 can be written in terms of the concentrations used in experiment 1 replacing [NO]₂ for 2[NO]₁ and [O₂]₂ by [O₂]₁ :

v2 = k (2 [NO]₁)ᵃ ([O₂]₁)ᵇ

If we rationalize v2/v1, we will have:

v2/v1 = k *2ᵃ * ([NO]₁)ᵃ * ([O₂]₁)ᵇ / k * ([NO]₁)ᵃ * ([O₂]₁)ᵇ (the exponent "a" has been distributed)

v2/v1 = 2ᵃ

ln(v2/v1) = a ln2

ln(v2/v1) / ln 2 = a

a = 2

(Please review the logarithmic properties if neccesary)

In the same way, we can find b using the data from experiment 2 and 3 and writting v3 in terms of the concentrations used in experiment 2:

v3/v2 = k ([NO]₂)² * 2ᵇ * ([O₂]₁)ᵇ / k * ([NO]₂)² * ([O₂]₂)ᵇ

v3/v2 = 2ᵇ

ln(v3/v2) = b ln 2

ln(v3/v2) / ln 2 = b

b = 1

Then, the rate law for the reaction is:

v = k[NO]² [O₂]

Since the unit of v is M/s and the product of the concentrations will give a unit of M³, the units of k are:

M/s = k * M³

M/s * M⁻³ = k

M⁻² s⁻¹ = k

To obtain the value of k, we can solve this equation for every experiment:

k = v / [NO]² [O₂]

for experiment 1:

k = 1.41 x 10⁻² M/s / (0.0126 M)² * 0.0125 M = 7.11 x 10³ M⁻² s⁻¹

for experiment 2:

k = 7.11 x 10³ M⁻² s⁻¹

for experiment 3:

k = 7.12 x 10³ M⁻² s⁻¹

The average value of k is then:

(7.11 + 7.11 + 7.12) x 10³ M⁻² s⁻¹ / 3 = 7.11 x 10³ M⁻² s⁻¹

The rate of the reaction when [NO] = 0.0750 M and [O2] =0.0100 M is:

v = k [NO]² [O₂]

The rate of the reaction in terms of the disappearance of NO can be written this way:

v = 1/2(Δ [NO] / Δt) (it is divided by 2 because of the stoichiometric coefficient of NO)

where (Δ [NO] / Δt) is the rate of disappearance of NO.

Then, calculating v with the data provided by the problem:

v = 7.11 x 10³ M⁻² s⁻¹ * (0.0750M)² * 0.0100M = 0.4 M/s

Then, the rate of disappearance of NO will be:

2v = Δ [NO] / Δt = 0.8 M/s

The rate of disappearance of O₂ has to be half the rate of disappearance of NO because two moles of NO react with one of O₂. Then Δ [O₂] / Δt = 0.4 M/s

With calculations:

v = Δ [O₂] / Δt = 0.4 M/s (since the stoichiometric coefficient is 1, the rate of disappearance of O₂ equals the rate of the reaction).

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

ΔH is negative and ΔS is negative.

Explanation:

Endothermic reaction -

The type of reaction in which energy is absorbed in the form of heat is known as endothermic reaction .

The reaction mixture usually get cooled after the reaction .( temperature decreases ) .

The sign of ΔH of an Endothermic reaction is positive .

For the of process of freezing the liquid ethanol , energy in the form of heat is released and hence , exothermic reaction ΔH is negative .

In the process of freezing , liquid is converted to solid , i.e. , the randomness reduces , and hence , entropy also decreases , hence , ΔS is negative .
