Answer:

The steps with correct mechanism are given below:

1) CH₄(g) + Cl(g) → CH₃(g) + HCl(g) : This is a slow step.

The rate is given as: R1 = k₁[CH₄][Cl]

2) CH₃(g) + Cl₂(g) → CH₃Cl(g) + Cl(g): This is a fast step.

The rate is given as: Rate = k₂[CH₃][Cl₂]

∴ CH₄(g) + Cl₂(g) → CH₃Cl(g) + HCl(g)

Here, the slowest step will be the rate-determining step.

. Determine the standard free energy change, ɔ(G p for the formation of S2−(aq) given that the ɔ(G p for Ag+(aq) and Ag2S(s) are

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: The standard free energy change of formation of $S^{2-}(aq.)$ is 92.094 kJ/mol

Explanation:

We are given:

$K_{sp}\text{ of }Ag_2S=8\times 10^{-51}$

Relation between standard Gibbs free energy and equilibrium constant follows:

$\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy = ?

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = temperature = $25^oC=[273+25]K=298K$

K = equilibrium constant or solubility product = $8\times 10^{-51}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-(8.314J/K.mol)\times 298K\times \ln (8\times 10^{-51})\\\\\Delta G^o=285793.9J/mol=285.794kJ$

For the given chemical equation:

$Ag_2S(s)\rightleftharpoons 2Ag^+(aq.)+S^{2-}(aq.)$

The equation used to calculate Gibbs free change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta G^o_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta G^o_f_{(reactant)}]$

The equation for the Gibbs free energy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta G^o_f_{(Ag^+(aq.))})+(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(S^{2-}(aq.))})]-[(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(Ag_2S(s))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta G^o_f_{(Ag_2S(s))}=-39.5kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o_f_{(Ag^+(aq.))}=77.1kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o=285.794kJ$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$285.794=[(2\times 77.1)+(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(S^{2-}(aq.))})]-[(1\times (-39.5))]\\\\\Delta G^o_f_{(S^{2-}(aq.))=92.094J/mol$

Hence, the standard free energy change of formation of $S^{2-}(aq.)$ is 92.094 kJ/mol

Determine how many gmol, kmol, and lbmols there are in 50 kilograms of n-hexane.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer: 581 gmol

0.581 kmol

$1.28\times 10^{-3}lbmol$

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{50\times 1000g}{86g/mol}=581mol$

1. The conversion for mol to gmol

1 mol = 1 gmol

581 mol= $\frac{1}{1}\times 581=581gmol$

2. The conversion for mol to kmol

1 mol = 0.001 kmol

581 mol= $\frac{0.001}{1}\times 581=0.581kmol$

3. The conversion for mol to lbmol

1 mol = $2.2\times 10^{-3}lbmol$

581 mol= $\frac{2.2\times 10^{-3}}{1}\times 581=1.28\times 10^{-3}lbmol$

1. Describe how you can use the graduated cylinder to determine the volume of a small, irregularly-shaped metal. 2. What safety

alisha [4.7K]

Explanation:

i. Measure the initial volume of water in a graduated cylinder.

ii. Now submerge the irregularly shaped metal into water in a graduated cylinder.

iii. Measure the final volume of water.

iv. The difference between the final volume and the initial volume is the volume of the irregularly shaped metal.

When adding the irregularly shaped metal into the glass graduated cylinder. Make sure that the irregularly shaped metal is completely submerged into the water.

Select all the true statements regarding chemical equilibrium. the concentrations of reactants and products are equal. the conce

lys-0071 [83]

The true statements are B, C, and D
-first ( A ) the concentrations of reactants and products are equal is false, As the concentrations of reactants and products may be different from each other.
- But (B) the concentrations of reactants and product remains constant is true, as the equilibrium remains when there is no change in the concentration of the reactants and products.
-(c) reactants are being converted to products (and vise verse) is true also, as there are reactions still happened at a constant rate so it looks like nothing is happening.
