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

Where is the epicenter of this hypothetical earthquake?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

In fact, the epicenter of a hypothetical earthquake is located at the point where the earthquake begins to break. The epicenter is just above the surface of 'our planet'. The epicenter is what we call immediately above the 'hypocenter' of the earthquake on the stage that said surface.

Boron sulfide, B2S3(s), reacts violently with water to form dissolved boric acid (H3BO3) and hydrogen sulfide gas.Express your a
ioda

Answer:

Explanation:

From the statement of the problem,

  B₂S₃_{s} + H₂O_{l}  →  H₃BO₃_{aq} + H₂S_{g}

              B₂S₃ + H₂O  →  H₃BO₃ + H₂S

We that the above expression does not conform with the law of conservation of mass:

To obey the law, we need to derive a balanced reaction equation:

   Let us use the mathematical method to obtain a balanced equation.

let the balanced equation be:

                        aB₂S₃ + bH₂O  →  cH₃BO₃ + dH₂S

where a, b, c and d will make the equation balanced.

  Conservating B: 2a = c

                          S: 3a = d

                          H: 2b = 3c + 2d

                           O: b = 3c

   if a = 1,

      c = 2,

      b = 6,

      2d = 2(6) - 3(2) = 6, d = 3

Now we can input this into our equation:

                     B₂S₃ + 6H₂O  →  2H₃BO₃ + 3H₂S

    B₂S₃_{s} + 6H₂O_{l}  →  2H₃BO₃_{aq} + 3H₂S_{g}
