The answer is 290.66 mL

Explanation:

The density of any substance including styrofoam is determined by two main factors: mass (atoms in the substance) and volume (space occupied). Moreover, the volume or mass of the substance can be calculated by using the density as these variables are related. Below I show the process:

density = mass / volume

mass = density x volume

volume = mass / density

volume = 21.80 g / 0.075 g/mL

volume = 290.66 mL

Answer : The initial rate for a reaction will be $3.4\times 10^{-3}Ms^{-1}$

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:

$A+B+C\rightarrow D+E$

Rate law expression for the reaction:

$\text{Rate}=k[A]^a[B]^b[C]^c$

where,

a = order with respect to A

b = order with respect to B

c = order with respect to C

Expression for rate law for first observation:

$6.0\times 10^{-5}=k(0.20)^a(0.20)^b(0.20)^c$ ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

$1.8\times 10^{-4}=k(0.20)^a(0.20)^b(0.60)^c$ ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

$2.4\times 10^{-4}=k(0.40)^a(0.20)^b(0.20)^c$ ....(3)

Expression for rate law for fourth observation:

$2.4\times 10^{-4}=k(0.40)^a(0.40)^b(0.20)^c$ ....(4)

Dividing 1 from 2, we get:

$\frac{1.8\times 10^{-4}}{6.0\times 10^{-5}}=\frac{k(0.20)^a(0.20)^b(0.60)^c}{k(0.20)^a(0.20)^b(0.20)^c}\\\\3=3^c\\c=1$

Dividing 1 from 3, we get:

$\frac{2.4\times 10^{-4}}{6.0\times 10^{-5}}=\frac{k(0.40)^a(0.20)^b(0.20)^c}{k(0.20)^a(0.20)^b(0.20)^c}\\\\4=2^a\\a=2$

Dividing 3 from 4, we get:

$\frac{2.4\times 10^{-4}}{2.4\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{k(0.40)^a(0.40)^b(0.20)^c}{k(0.40)^a(0.20)^b(0.20)^c}\\\\1=2^b\\b=0$

Thus, the rate law becomes:

$\text{Rate}=k[A]^2[B]^0[C]^1$

Now, calculating the value of 'k' by using any expression.

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$6.0\times 10^{-5}=k(0.20)^2(0.20)^0(0.20)^1$

$k=7.5\times 10^{-3}M^{-2}s^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the initial rate for a reaction that starts with 0.75 M of reagent A and 0.90 M of reagents B and C.

$\text{Rate}=k[A]^2[B]^0[C]^1$

$\text{Rate}=(7.5\times 10^{-3})\times (0.75)^2(0.90)^0(0.90)^1$

$\text{Rate}=3.4\times 10^{-3}Ms^{-1}$

Therefore, the initial rate for a reaction will be $3.4\times 10^{-3}Ms^{-1}$

Flauer [41]

Answer:

6,78 mL of 12,0 wt% H₂SO₄

Explanation:

The equilibrium in water is:

H₂O (l) ⇄ H⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq)

The initial concentration of [H⁺] is 10⁻⁸ M and final desired concentration is [H⁺] = $10^{-7,20}$ , thus,
