Answer:

The Total Pressure = 5.875

Explanation:

The Equation:  2N2O(g)  -> 2N2(g) + O2(g)

The rate costant is "k" of the reaction : k= 19.4 * 10^-4 min^-1

Half period = 0.693 / k

=0.693/19.4 * 10^-4 min^-1 = 3572 min

The initial pressure of N2O, Po = 4.70 atm

The pressure of N2O after 3572 min = Pt

According to the first-order kinetics:

k= 1/t  1n P0/pt

19.4 * 10^-4 min^-1 = 1/3572 min 1n 4.70atm / Pt

1n 4.70atm / Pt = 0.692968

4.70atm / Pt = e^0.692968 = 2.00

Pt = 4.70atm / 2.00 = 2.35 atm

                       2N2O(g)  -> 2N2(g) + O2(g)

The initial(atm)    4.70          0              0

The change(atm)  -2x         +2x            x

Final(atm)         4.70-2x        2x             x

Pressure of N20 after one half-life = Pt = 2.35 = 4.70-2x

Pressure of O2 after one half-life = Po = x = 1.175 atm

Pressure of O2 after one half-life = 2x = 2(1.175) = 2.35 atm

Total Pressure = 2.35 atm + 2.35 atm + 1.175 atm

= 5.875 atm

Answer:

Total pressure 5.875 atm

Explanation:

The equation for above decomposition is

2N_2O \rightarrow 2N_2 + O_2

rate constant k =  1.94\times 10^{-4} min^{-1}

Half life t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k} = 3572 min

Initial pressure N_2 O = 4.70 atm

Pressure after 3572 min = P

According to first order kinematics

k = \frac{1}{t} ln\frac{4.70}{P}

1.94\times 10^{-4} = \frac{1}{3572} \frac{4.70}{P}

solving for P we get

P = 2.35 atm

2N_2O \rightarrow 2N_2 + O_2

initial           4.70                         0             0

change        -2x                          +2x           +x

final             4.70 -2x                     2x           x

pressure ofO_2 after first half life  = 2.35 = 4.70 - 2x

                                                          x = 1.175

pressure of N_2 after first half life  =  2x = 2(1.175) = 2.35 ATM

Total pressure  = 2.35 + 2.35 + 1.175

                          = 5.875 atm

tia_tia [17]

Hello!

The answer is C. Hibernate during the cold winter months.

Why?

Alpine marmots are known for having a long hibernation duration which starts in October (winther) and ends in April (summer) (about 7 months). During this long period, they are able to reduce their bear beats from 200 per minute to just 30 or 38 beats, and their breaths from 60 breaths/minute to 1-3 breaths/minute, guaranteeing an extreme energy saving process.

Have a nice day!

D) hydrogen and sulfur<br> Formed
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

At high temperatures or in the presence of catalysts, sulfur dioxide reacts with hydrogen sulfide to form elemental sulfur and water. This reaction is exploited in the Claus process, an important industrial method to dispose of hydrogen sulfide.

Show that, with appropriate coefficients, the two reactions can be summed to give the overall oxidation of SO2 by O2 to give SO3
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We know that the process of the oxidation of SO2 to SO3 is catalysed by NO2 gas. It occurs in two stages and i will show the balanced reaction equation of the both stages below;

Step 1

2NO2(g) + 2SO2(g) ------> 2NO(g) + 2SO3(g)

Step 2

2NO(g) + O2(g) -------> 2NO2(g)

So, the overall reaction equation is;

2SO2(g) + O2(g) ------> 2SO3(g)

Balance <br><br> _Mg + _HCL = _MgCl2 + H2
Pavel [41]
_Mg + _HCL = _MgCl2 + H2
Separate the terms on each side: 

_Mg + _HCl = _MgCl2 + H2

Mg- 1                 Mg-1
               
H-1                    H-2

Cl-1                    Cl-2

Mg is balanced on both sides so move on to the next (put a 1 in the space). 

1Mg

There are two H's and two Cl's on the results side, so to balance the equation put a 2 as a coefficient for HCl and it'll all balance out.

2HCl

Balamced equation will be: 

 1Mg + 2HCL = 1MgCl2 + H2

lesya692 [45]
On adding salt.....The boiling temperature increases.....

So ∆t= KB * molality
=O.52*(58/58)/4
= O.52*1/4
= 0.13
So increase is 100+.13=100.13°c
