How do chemists express the rates of chemical reactions

2 answers:

Reaction rate is calculated using the formula rate = Δ[C]/Δt, where Δ[C] is the change in product concentration during time period Δt.
The rate of reaction can be observed by watching the disappearance of a reactant or the appearance of a product over time.
If a reaction produces a gas such as oxygen or carbon dioxide, there are two ways to measure the reaction rate: using a gas syringe to measure the gas produced, or calculating the reduction in the mass of the reaction solution.
If the reaction produces a precipitate, the amount formed can be used to determine reaction rate by measuring how long it takes for the forming precipitate to obscure the visibility of a cross through a conical flask.

Consider the balanced equation. 2HCl + Mg MgCl2 + H2 If 40.0 g of HCl react with an excess of magnesium metal, what is the theor

Serga [27]

Answer:

Theoretical yield of hydrogen is 1.11 g

Explanation:

Balanced equation, $Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_{2}+H_{2}$

As Mg remain present in excess therefore HCl is the limiting reagent.

According to balanced equation, 2 moles of HCl produce 1 mol of $H_{2}$ .

Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol

So, 40.0 g of HCl = $\frac{40.0}{36.46}moles$ of HCl = 1.10 moles of HCl

Hence, theoretically, number of moles of $H_{2}$ are produced from 1.10 moles of HCl = $(\frac{1}{2}\times 1.10)moles=0.550moles$

Molar mass of $H_{2}$ = 2.016 g/mol

So, theoretical yield of $H_{2}$ = $(0.550\times 2.016)g=1.11g$

Which type of test helps forensic scientists to narrow down the possibilities of what drug a substance may be?

kobusy [5.1K]

The right answer is screening test.

In medicine, screening consists of looking for one or more diseases or abnormalities known as "at risk" in individuals of a given population.

These investigations are followed or not by medical consultations, clinical examinations and treatments.

In addition, screening is a preliminary procedure (test or examination) to detect one or more characteristic signs or symptoms of a disease or syndrome and potentially leading to further investigation.
