Which one of the following statements is FALSE? a In a neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with base to produce a salt and H
1 answer:
Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
HF is a weak acid and not a strong acid. This is because fluorine is a highly electronegative atom and when it combines with a hydrogen atom then it will attract the valence electron of hydrogen atom more towards itself.
As a result, it will not dissociates easily to give hydrogen ion. Hence, it acts as a weak acid.
A neutralization reaction is defined as a reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to give salt and water. For example,
It is true that, spectator ions "appear in the total ionic equation for a reaction, but not in the net ionic equation".
Titration is defined as a process in which concentration of an unknown solution is determined using a solution of known concentration.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement HF, HCl, and HNO3 are all examples of strong acids, is false.

Rate law for the given 2nd order reaction is:
Rate = k[a]2
Given data:
rate constant k = 0.150 m-1s-1
initial concentration, [a] = 0.250 M
reaction time, t = 5.00 min = 5.00 min * 60 s/s = 300 s
To determine:
Concentration at time t = 300 s i.e.
Calculations:
The second order rate equation is:
substituting for k,t and [a] we get:
1/[a]t = 0.150 M-1s-1 * 300 s + 1/[0.250]M
1/[a]t = 49 M-1
[a]t = 1/49 M-1 = 0.0204 M
Hence the concentration of 'a' after t = 5min is 0.020 M
