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

What is the octet rule?
PolarNik [594]

The Octet rule is a general rule of thumb that applies to most atoms. Basically, it states that every atom wants to have eight valence electrons in its outermost electron shell.

How would a fast-flowing river be most likely to move sand-sized particles of sediment?
Nitella [24]
A fast-flowing river would most likely be to move the skaters glide around the rink b<span>y lifting it up and carrying it downstream. In a fast-flowing river, the pressure is strong, which makes it easier for sand-sized particles of sediments to be carried or transferred. Hope this answer helps.</span>

The vapor pressure of benzene is 73.03 mm Hg at 25°C. How many grams of estrogen (estradiol), C18H24O2, a nonvolatile, nonelectr
alexira [117]

Answer:

14.9802 grams of estrogen must be added to 216.7 grams of benzene.

Explanation:

The relative lowering of vapor pressure of solution containing non volatile solute is equal to mole fraction of solute.

\frac{p_o-p_s}{p_o}=\frac{n_2}{n_1+n_2}

Where:

p_o = Vapor pressure of pure solvent

p_s = Vapor pressure of the solution

n_1 = Number of moles of solvent

n_2 = Number of moles of solute

p_o = 73.03 mmHg

p_s= 71.61 mmHg

n_1=\frac{216.7 g}{78.12 g/mol}=2.7739 mol

\frac{73.03 mmHg-71.61 mmHg}{73.03 mmHg}=\frac{n_2}{2.7739 mol+n_2}

n_2=0.05499 mol

Mass of 0.05499 moles of estrogen :

= 0.05499 mol × 272.4 g/mol = 14.9802 g

14.9802 grams of estrogen must be added to 216.7 grams of benzene.
