Answer : The reaction rate will be, 1.9\times 10^{-4}M/s

Explanation :

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

2HgCl_2(aq)+C_2O_2^{4-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cl^-(aq)+2CO_2(g)+HgCl_2(s)

Rate law expression for the reaction:

\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^a[C_2O_2^{4-}]^b

where,

a = order with respect to HgCl_2

b = order with respect to C_2O_2^{4-}

Expression for rate law for first observation:

3.2\times 10^{-5}=k(0.164)^a(0.15)^b ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

2.9\times 10^{-4}=k(0.164)^a(0.45)^b ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

1.4\times 10^{-4}=k(0.082)^a(0.45)^b ....(3)

Expression for rate law for fourth observation:

4.8\times 10^{-5}=k(0.246)^a(0.15)^b ....(4)

Dividing 1 from 2, we get:

\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{3.2\times 10^{-5}}=\frac{k(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{k(0.164)^a(0.15)^b}\\\\9=3^b\\(3)^2=3^b\\b=2

Dividing 3 from 2, we get:

\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{1.4\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{k(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{k(0.082)^a(0.45)^b}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1

Thus, the rate law becomes:

\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^1[C_2O_2^{4-}]^2

Now, calculating the value of 'k' by using any expression.

Putting values in above rate law, we get:

3.2\times 10^{-5}=k(0.164)^1(0.15)^2

k=8.7\times 10^{-3}M^{-2}s^{-1}

Now we have to determine the reaction rate when the concentration of HgCl_2 is 0.135 M and that of C_2O_2^{-4} is 0.40 M.

\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^1[C_2O_2^{4-}]^2

\text{Rate}=(8.7\times 10^{-3})\times (0.135)^1\times (0.40)^2

\text{Rate}=1.9\times 10^{-4}M/s

Therefore, the reaction rate will be, 1.9\times 10^{-4}M/s

The heat of fusion for a substance is 122 joules per gram. How many joules of heat are need to melt 7.50 grams of this substance
daser333 [38]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

915 Joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The heat of fusion is the heat that is required to convert a given mass of a substance from solid state to liquid state without change in temperature.
  • In this case, we are given specific heat of a substance as 122 joules per gram
  • It means that amount of heat equivalent to 122 joules is required to change 1 gram of the substance from solid state to liquid state.
  • Therefore, we can determine the amount of heat needed to change 7.5 grams of the substance from solid to liquid state.

1 g = 122 Joules

7.5 g = ?

       = 122 × 7.5

      = 915 Joules

Thus, 7.5 g of the substance at its melting point will require 915 Joules of heat to melt.
