The rate constant of a reaction is measured at different temperatures. A plot of the natural log of the rate constant as a funct

ion of the inverse of the temperature (in kelvins) yields a straight line with a slope of −8.55×103 K−1. What is the activation energy (Ea) for the reaction?

Answer:

The activation energy is 7.11 × 10⁴ J/mol.

Explanation:

Let's consider the Arrhenius equation.

lnk=lnA-\frac{Ea}{R} .\frac{1}{T}

where,

k is the rate constant

A is a collision factor

Ea is the activation energy

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

The plot of ln k vs 1/T is a straight line with lnA as intercept and -Ea/R as slope. Then,

\frac{-Ea}{R} =-8.55 \times 10^{3} K^{-1} \\Ea= 8.55 \times 10^{3} K^{-1} \times 8.314 \frac{J}{K.mol} =7.11 \times 10^{4} J/mol

A solution is prepared by dissolving 8.75 grams of sodium chloride in enough volume of water to produce 112.0 grams of the NaCl
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer : The percent by mass of the solution is 7.81 %

Explanation : Given,

Mass of NaCl = 8.75 g

Mass of solution = 112.0 g

Now we have to determine the percent by mass of the solution.

\text{Mass percent}=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent}=\frac{8.75g}{112.0g}\times 100=7.81\%

Therefore, the percent by mass of the solution is 7.81 %

Calculate the mass in grams of 202 atoms of iron
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

To calculate the number of atoms in a sample, divide its weight in grams by the amu atomic mass from the periodic table, then multiply the result by Avogadro's number: 6.02 x 10^23. Set up Equation Express the relationship of the three pieces of information you need to calculate the number of atoms in the sample in the form of an equation.

A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 70 % that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: 2948

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.69}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{5730}=1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

t = age of sample  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = \frac{70}{100}\times 100=70

t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{70}

t=2948years

Thus the fossil is 2948 years old.
