Answer:

B. First order, Order with respect to C = 1

Explanation:

The given kinetic data is as follows:

A + B + C → Products

     [A]₀     [B]₀    [C]₀       Initial Rate (10⁻³ M/s)

1.   0.4      0.4     0.2       160

2.  0.2      0.4      0.4       80

3.   0.6     0.1       0.2       15

4.   0.2     0.1       0.2        5

5.   0.2     0.2      0.4       20

The rate of the above reaction is given as:

Rate = k[A]^{x}[B]^{y}[C]^{z}

where x, y and z are the order with respect to A, B and C respectively.

k = rate constant

[A], [B], [C] are the concentrations

In the method of initial rates, the given reaction is run multiple times. The order with respect to a particular reactant is deduced by keeping the concentrations of the remaining reactants constant and measuring the rates. The ratio of the rates from the two runs gives the order relative to that reactant.

Order w.r.t A : Use trials 3 and 4

\frac{Rate3}{Rate4}= [\frac{[A(3)]}{[A(4)]}]^{x}

\frac{15}{5}= [\frac{[0.6]}{[0.2]}]^{x}

3 = 3^{x} \\\\x =1

Order w.r.t B : Use trials 2 and 5

\frac{Rate2}{Rate5}= [\frac{[B(2)]}{[B(5)]}]^{y}

\frac{80}{20}= [\frac{[0.4]}{[0.2]}]^{y}

4 = 2^{y} \\\\y =2

Order w.r.t C : Use trials 1 and 2

\frac{Rate1}{Rate2}= [\frac{[A(1)]}{[A(2)]}]^{x}[\frac{[B(1)]}{[B(2)]}]^{y}[\frac{[C(1)]}{[C(2)]}]^{z}

we know that x = 1 and y = 2, substituting the appropriate values in the above equation gives:

\frac{160}{80}= [\frac{[0.4]}{[0.2]}]^{1}[\frac{[0.4]}{[0.4]}]^{2}[\frac{[0.2]}{[0.4]}]^{z}

1 = (0.5)^{z}

z = 1

Therefore, order w.r.t C = 1

Why calcium oxide and magnesium oxide used as soil treatment ​
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Chemically speaking, lime refers only to calcium oxide

(CaO); however, in common usage the term includes the calcination products of calcitic and dolomitic limestones. Calcitic (high-calcium) limes are produced by calcination of

calcareous materials (e.g., calcitic limestone, calcite,

oyster shells, and chalk) containing from 95 to 99 percent

calcium carbonate (CaCO^). Dolomitic limes are produced from

dolomitic limestone or dolomite which contains from 30 to ^+0

percent magnesium carbonate (MgCO^), the rest being calcium

carbonate.

At atmospheric pressure, calcite in limestone decomposes

at approximately 900°C to form CaO and COg. The decomposition of dolomite, CaMg is a two-stage process. At

temperatures between 650°C to 750°C dolomite decomposes to

form MgO, CO^ and CaCO^. It is necessary to raise the temperature to 900°C to decompose the CaCO^ (15, 35)» This

phenomenon is extremely important, as is shown later.

Various investigators have studied the effects of stone

size, temperature, and time of calcination of commercial

What is the percent composition of carbon in heptane c7h16
Gnom [1K]

Answer: the percent composition of carbon in heptane is 83.9%

Explanation:

<u>1) Atomic masses of the atoms:</u>

  • C: 12.01 g/mol
  • H: 1.008 g/mol

<u>2) Molar mass of heptane:</u>

  • C₇H₁₆: 7 × 12.01 g/mol + 16×1.008 g/mol = 100.2 g/mol

<u>3) Mass of carbon in one mole of heptane:</u>

  • C₇: 7 × 12.01 g/mol = 84.07 g/mol

<u>3) Percent composition of carbon:</u>

  • % = (mass in grams of C) / (mass in grams of C₇H₁₆) × 100 =

           = (84.07 g/ 100.2 g) × 100 = 83.9% ← answer

Does changing the amplitude affect the period on a pendulum and how
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

As the amplitude of pendulum motion increases, the period lengthens, because the restoring force −mgsinθ increases more slowly than −mgθ (sinθ≅θ−θ3/3!for small angles).

A sample of 35.1 g of methane gas has a volume of 5.20 l at a pressure of 2.70 atm. calculate the temperature of the gas.
melisa1 [442]
We can use the ideal gas equation to determine the temperature with the given conditions of mass of the gas, volume, and pressure. The equation is expressed
PV=nRT where n is the number of moles equal to mass / molar mass of gas. Substituting the given conditions with R = 0.0521 L atm/mol K we can find the temperature
