What are the benefits and limitations to relative dating rock layer?

1 answer:

4 0

Relative dating can only determine the sequential order of events, not the exact date which something occurred. It is useful for being able to determine a timeline of events in an exact point, but won't give a full picture of events in the past nor account for the age of material.

What is the value of for this aqueous reaction at 298 K? A+B↽⇀C+D ΔG°=12.86 kJ/mol K=

agasfer [191]

Answer:

The equilbrium constant is 179.6

Explanation:

To solve this question we can use the equation:

ΔG = -RTlnK

Where ΔG is Gibbs free energy = 12.86kJ/mol

R is gas constant = 8.314x10⁻³kJ/molK

T is absolute temperature = 298K

And K is equilibrium constant.

Replacing:

12.86kJ/mol = -8.314x10⁻³kJ/molK*298K lnK

5.19 = lnK

e^5.19 = K

179.6 = K

<h3>The equilbrium constant is 179.6</h3>

Why is it important to write a lab report once the experiment is finished?

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Anyone should be able to read the lab report, repeat the experiment, and get the same results. This is important for scientists. ... They help the scientists know what has been done before and how it was performed. This can help them design experiments for their own research

Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid (the solute) in water (the solvent) with a solution density of 1010 g/L. If vinegar is 0.80

Damm [24]

Answer:

4.8 %

Explanation:

We are asked the concentration in % by mass, given the molarity of the solution and its density.

0.8 molar solution means that we have 0.80 moles of acetic acid in 1 liter of solution. If we convert the moles of acetic acid to grams, and the 1 liter solution to grams, since we are given the density of solution, we will have the values necessary to calculate the % by mass:

MW acetic acid = 60.0 g/mol

mass acetic acid (the solute) = 0.80 mol x 60 g / mol = 48.00 g

mass of solution = 1000 cm³ x 1.010 g/ cm³ (1l= 1000 cm³)

= 1010 g

% (by mass) = 48.00 g/ 1010 g x 100 = 4.8 %

What factors affect the dynamic state of equilibrium in a chemical reaction and how?

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Only changes in temperature will influence the equilibrium constant $K_c$ . The system will shift in response to certain external shocks. At the new equilibrium $Q$ will still be equal to $K_c$ , but the final concentrations will be different.

The question is asking for sources of the shocks that will influence the value of $Q$ . For most reversible reactions:

External changes in the relative concentration of the products and reactants.

For some reversible reactions that involve gases:

Changes in pressure due to volume changes.

Catalysts do not influence the value of $Q$ . See explanation.

Explanation:

$\displaystyle K_c = {e}^{\Delta G/(R\cdot T)}$ .

Similar to the rate constant, the equilibrium constant $K_c$ depends only on:

$\Delta G$ the standard Gibbs energy change of the reaction, and
$T$ the absolute temperature (in degrees Kelvins.)

The reversible reaction is in a dynamic equilibrium when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction. Reactants are constantly converted to products; products are constantly converted back to reactants. However, at equilibrium $Q = K_c$ the two processes balance each other. The concentration of each species will stay the same.

Factors that alter the rate of one reaction more than the other will disrupt the equilibrium. These factors shall change the rate of successful collisions and hence the reaction rate.

Changes in concentration influence the number of particles per unit space.
Changes in temperature influence both the rate of collision and the percentage of particles with sufficient energy of reaction.

For reactions that involve gases,

Changing the volume of the container will change the concentration of gases and change the reaction rate.

However, there are cases where the number of gases particles on the reactant side and the product side are equal. Rates of the forward and backward reaction will change by the same extent. In such cases, there will not be a change in the final concentrations. Similarly, catalysts change the two rates by the same extent and will not change the final concentrations. Adding noble gases will also change the pressure. However, concentrations stay the same and the equilibrium position will not change.
