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.

Morphine is a well known pain killer but is highly addictive. The lethal dose of morphine varies from person to person based on
Aliun [14]

Answer:

0.252 milimoles

Explanation:

To convert mass of a substance to moles it is necessary to use the molar mass of the substance.

The formula of morphine is C₁₇H₁₉NO₃, thus, its molar mass is:

C: 17*12.01g/mol = 204.17g/mol

H: 19*1.01g/mol = 19.19g/mol

N: 1*14g/mol = 14g/mol

O: 3*16g/mol = 48g/mol.

204.17 + 19.19 + 14 + 16 = <em>285.36g/mol</em>

Thus, moles of 71.891 mg = 0.071891g:

0.071891g × (1mol / 285.36g) = 2.5193x10⁻⁴ moles

As 1 mole = 1000 milimoles:

2.5193x10⁻⁴ moles = <em>0.252 milimoles</em>

Explain how fluorine and aluminum would exchange valence electrons to form an ionic compound.
o-na [289]

Answer :

Explanation :

The aluminium and fluorine react to give ionic compound aluminium fluoride.

Aluminium has 1 valence electrons in their shell and fluorine has 7 valence electrons in their shell.

For the complete octet, both aluminium and fluorine exchange valence electrons to form an ionic compound.

The aluminium donates its three valence electrons to three fluorine atoms and they form one Al^{3+} and three F^- ions.

Electron transfer image is shown below.
