Answer:

Choice D. Approximately 61.2 minutes.

Explanation:

The reaction rate of a second-order reaction is proportional to the square of one of its reactants.

  • Let y denote the concentration of that reactant (in \rm M.)
  • Let t denote time (in minutes.)

Let k denote the rate constant of this reaction. Assume that y_0 is the concentration of that reactant at the beginning of this reaction (when t = 0.) Because this reaction is of second order, it can be shown that:

\displaystyle y = \frac{1}{k\, t + (1/y_0)}.

The question states that the rate constant here is 0.06\; \rm M\cdot min^{-1}. Hence, k = 0.06. For simplicity, assume that t = 0 when the concentration is 0.13\; \rm M. Therefore, y_0 = 0.13. The equation for concentration y at time t would become:

\displaystyle y = \frac{1}{\underbrace{0.06}_{k}\, t + (1/\underbrace{0.13}_{y_0})}.

The goal is to find the time at which the concentration is 0.088. That's the same as solving this equation for t, given that y = 0.088:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{0.06\; t + (1/0.13)} = 0.088.

t \approx 61.2.

In other words, it would take approximately 61.2 minutes before the concentration of this second-order reactant becomes 0.088\; \rm M.

What is smaller than one cell
mr_godi [17]
The organelles and substances inside the organelles are smaller. On a molecular level a group that are smaller are hadrons, which are the group of particles that consist of protons and neutrons. Even smaller than hadrons are leptons, which consist of neutrinos, electons, and MANY others.

How did the pH level and the water components level change after adding water to the battery acid?
ololo11 [35]
The pH level changed to 1.34 and the combination of the both made the mixture less acidic
the pH is 1.84, mixture had less acid and there is alot more water molecules in the mixture
the pH level is 2.13 ,, again less acidic and the water molecules has increased to 3,28 x10(25)

What is the relationship between concentration and rate of reaction?
grigory [225]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Directly proportional

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Concentration is one of the factors that determine the rate of a reaction. Reaction rates increases with increase in the concentration of the reactants, which means they are directly proportional.</u></em>
  • An increase in the concentration of reactants produces more collisions and thus increasing the rate at which the reaction is taking place. Therefore, <u>Increasing the concentration of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions between reactants and will cause an increase in the rate of reaction.</u>

EXPLAIN how to identify the reducing agent in a reaction of magnesium with oxygen
Alina [70]

Explanation:

Mg+O>MgO

Here the mg loses it electron and is oxidised and oxygen gains and is reduced.

Mg(2+)and O(2-)

Mg is a reducing agent it makes oxygen to be reduced while itself being oxidised and vice versa.
