Explain why thermal and electrical conductivity is so high with copper

Chemistry
1 answer:
lidiya [134]2 years ago
8 0

Copper is formed of copper atoms, which are closely clustered together. If observed closely, one could witness the movement of electrons between the atoms of the copper. Each copper atom turns into a positive ion by losing one electron. Thus, copper is a lattice of positive copper ions with the movement of free electrons among them.  

Due to movement of electrons freely through the metal, they are also known as conduction electrons. The presence of these conduction electrons makes the copper a good conductor of electricity and heat.

The following data were obtained in a kinetics study of the hypothetical reaction A + B + C → products. [A]0 (M) [B]0 (M) [C]0 (
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

B. First order, Order with respect to C = 1

Explanation:

The given kinetic data is as follows:

A + B + C → Products

     [A]₀     [B]₀    [C]₀       Initial Rate (10⁻³ M/s)

1.   0.4      0.4     0.2       160

2.  0.2      0.4      0.4       80

3.   0.6     0.1       0.2       15

4.   0.2     0.1       0.2        5

5.   0.2     0.2      0.4       20

The rate of the above reaction is given as:

Rate = k[A]^{x}[B]^{y}[C]^{z}

where x, y and z are the order with respect to A, B and C respectively.

k = rate constant

[A], [B], [C] are the concentrations

In the method of initial rates, the given reaction is run multiple times. The order with respect to a particular reactant is deduced by keeping the concentrations of the remaining reactants constant and measuring the rates. The ratio of the rates from the two runs gives the order relative to that reactant.

Order w.r.t A : Use trials 3 and 4

\frac{Rate3}{Rate4}= [\frac{[A(3)]}{[A(4)]}]^{x}

\frac{15}{5}= [\frac{[0.6]}{[0.2]}]^{x}

3 = 3^{x} \\\\x =1

Order w.r.t B : Use trials 2 and 5

\frac{Rate2}{Rate5}= [\frac{[B(2)]}{[B(5)]}]^{y}

\frac{80}{20}= [\frac{[0.4]}{[0.2]}]^{y}

4 = 2^{y} \\\\y =2

Order w.r.t C : Use trials 1 and 2

\frac{Rate1}{Rate2}= [\frac{[A(1)]}{[A(2)]}]^{x}[\frac{[B(1)]}{[B(2)]}]^{y}[\frac{[C(1)]}{[C(2)]}]^{z}

we know that x = 1 and y = 2, substituting the appropriate values in the above equation gives:

\frac{160}{80}= [\frac{[0.4]}{[0.2]}]^{1}[\frac{[0.4]}{[0.4]}]^{2}[\frac{[0.2]}{[0.4]}]^{z}

1 = (0.5)^{z}

z = 1

Therefore, order w.r.t C = 1
