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

When iodine is added to foods with no starches it turns
Monica [59]

Answer:

Add Iodine-KI reagent to a solution or directly on a potato or other materials such as bread, crackers, or flour. A blue-black color results if starch is present. If starch amylose is not present, then the color will stay orange or yellow

Which carbon atom(s) of pyruvate is(are) first converted to carbon dioxide by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex?
lilavasa [31]

The carbon atom(s) of pyruvate is(are) first converted to carbon dioxide by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is the second number of carbon of pyruvate goes to oxidation and convert it to CO2 in Krebs cycle.

<h3>what is Krebs cycle ?</h3>

Krebs cycle is also known as citric acid cycle it is the conversion of sugar to the direct energy in the form of ATP which further goes to mitochondria as it is the power house of the human cell.

Pyruvate molecule release second number carbon from the chain and undergoes oxidation to form the CO2.

Therefore, second number carbon atom will converts to carbon dioxide.
