Answer:

The kinetic energy and the orientation of the molecules.

Explanation:

As per the <em>collision theory</em>, in order for the reactants yield the products, the molecules or particles must collide with a kinetic energy greater than or equal to the activation energy, and they must collide in the right orientation for the old bonds can be broken and the new ones formed.

The particles of reactants that collide either with less kinetic energy than the needed or in a different orientation will not drive to formation of new products but will "bounce" without producing any chemical change.

This theory is in agreement with the observations that increasing the concentration of reactants increases the rate of reaction, because more collisions will be occur, such as increasing the temperature also increases the rate of reaction, because the collisions will be more energetic.

During an experiment, 95 grams of calcium carbonate reacted with an excess amount of hydrochloric acid. If the percent yield of

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Actual yield: 86.5 grams.

Explanation:

How many moles of formula units in 95 grams of calcium carbonate $\rm CaCO_3$ ?

Refer to a modern periodic table for relative atomic mass data:

Ca: 40.078;
C: 12.011;
O: 15.999.

Formula mass of $\rm CaCO_3$ :

$M(\mathrm{CaCO_3}) = \underbrace{1\times 40.078}_{\rm Ca} + \underbrace{1\times 12.011}_{\rm C} + \underbrace{3\times 15.999}_{\rm O} = \rm 100.086\;g\cdot mol^{-1}$ .

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{CaCO_3}) = \frac{m(\mathrm{CaCO_3})}{M(\mathrm{CaCO_3})} = \rm \frac{95\;g}{100.086\;g\cdot mol^{-1}} = 0.949184\;mol$ .

How many moles of $\rm CaCl_2$ will be produced?

The coefficient in front of $\rm CaCO_3$ in the chemical equation is the same as that in front of $\rm CaCl_2$ . That is:

$\displaystyle \frac{n(\rm CaCl_2)}{n(\rm CaCO_3)} = 1$ .

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{CaCl_2}) = n(\mathrm{CaCO_3})\cdot \frac{n(\rm CaCl_2)}{n(\rm CaCO_3)} = n(\mathrm{CaCO_3}) = \rm 0.949184\;mol$ .

What's the theoretical yield of calcium chloride? In other words, what's the mass of $\rm 0.949184\;mol$ of $\rm CaCl_2$ ?

Again, refer to a periodic table for relative atomic data:

Ca: 40.078;
Cl: 35.45.

$M(\mathrm{CaCl_2}) = \underbrace{1\times 40.078}_{\rm Ca} + \underbrace{2\times 35.45}_{\rm Cl} = \rm 110.978\;g\cdot mol^{-1}$ .

$\begin{aligned}m(\mathrm{CaCl_2}) &= n(\mathrm{CaCl_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{CaCl_2})\\ &= \rm 0.949184\;mol\times 110.978\;g\cdot mol^{-1}\\ &= \rm 105.339\; g\end{aligned}$ .

What's the actual yield of calcium chloride?

$\displaystyle \text{Percentage Yield} = \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}}\times 100\%$ .

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Actual Yield} &= \text{Theoretical Yield}\cdot \frac{\text{Percentage Yield}}{100\%}\\ &=\rm 105.339\; g \times \frac{82.15\%}{100\%}\\&= \rm 86.5\;g \end{aligned}$ .

The decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5, to NO2 and O2 is a first-order reaction. At 60°C, the rate constant is 2.8 × 10

Sati [7]

Answer:

a. 113 min

Explanation:

Considering the equilibrium:-

2N₂O₅ ⇔ 4NO₂ + O₂

At t = 0 125 kPa

At t = teq 125 - 2x 4x x

Thus, total pressure = 125 - 2x + 4x + x = 125 - 3x

125 - 3x = 176 kPa

x = 17 kPa

Remaining pressure of N₂O₅ = 125 - 2*17 kPa = 91 kPa

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Given that:

The rate constant, k = $2.8\times 10^{-3}$ min⁻¹

Initial concentration $[A_0]$ = 125 kPa

Final concentration $[A_t]$ = 91 kPa

Time = ?

Applying in the above equation, we get that:-

$91=125e^{-2.8\times 10^{-3}\times t}$

$125e^{-2.8\times \:10^{-3}t}=91$

$-2.8\times \:10^{-3}t=\ln \left(\frac{91}{125}\right)$

$t=113\ min$

Answer:

Cells are extremely small.

Explanation:

As Mendel describes in this story, cells are so small they cannot normally be seen with the naked eye. ... The total organism remains the same throughout this process, and (usually) has a longer time on earth than any one of its cells.
