When the concentration of A in the reaction A ..... B was changed from 1.20 M to 0.60 M, the half-life increased from 2.0 min to

4.0 min at 25°C. Calculate the order of the reaction and the rate constant.

Answer:

2

0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}

Explanation:

Half-life

{t_{1/2}}A=2\ \text{min}

{t_{1/2}}B=4\ \text{min}

Concentration

{[A]_0}_A=1.2\ \text{M}

{[A]_0}_B=0.6\ \text{M}

We have the relation

t_{1/2}\propto \dfrac{1}{[A]_0^{n-1}}

So

\dfrac{{t_{1/2}}_A}{{t_{1/2}}_B}=\left(\dfrac{{[A]_0}_B}{{[A]_0}_A}\right)^{n-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{4}=\left(\dfrac{0.6}{1.2}\right)^{n-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{n-1}

Comparing the exponents we get

1=n-1\\\Rightarrow n=2

The order of the reaction is 2.

t_{1/2}=\dfrac{1}{k[A]_0^{n-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{t_{1/2}[A]_0^{n-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{2\times 1.2^{2-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}

The rate constant is 0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}

Find the [h3o ] in a sauvignon blanc with a ph of 3.24.
KengaRu [80]
Hello!

The H₃O⁺ concentration can be found using the definition of pH and clearing the equation for [H₃O⁺]. The solution has a pH lower than 7, so the Sauvignon Blanc is acid. The calculation for [H₃O⁺] is shown below:

pH=-log [H_3O^{+}]

[H_3O^{+}]= 10^{-pH}=10^{-3,24}=0,00058M

So, the concentration of H₃O⁺ in a Sauvignon Blanc with a pH of 3,24 is 0,00058 M

Have a nice day!

When the valves are opened and the gases are allowed to mix at a constant temperature, what is the distribution of atoms in each
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Equal number of atoms of each gas in each container

Explanation:

When the valves opened, the two contaienrs become one and the gases beging to mix by diffusion. This phenomenom is produced by the differeces of concentration of a gas between two points of the container.

The gases will continue diffunding util their concentration in both containers are equal.

calcium reacts with fluorine to produce calcium fluoride. how does oxidation and reduction take place in this reaction?
Assoli18 [71]

The oxidation is occurring on Calcium ions as it release one electron and reduction will be occurring on fluorine ion as it accepts one electron.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An element will undergo oxidation and form a positive ion on releasing one or more electrons from its valence shell. While reduction is occurred in a chemical reaction, then the element will be forming a negative ion with the acceptance of one or more electrons in its valence shell.

So in the given process of calcium fluoride, the one electron from the valence shell of calcium will be released making it as c a^{+} ions and this is termed as oxidation process. This one electron will be getting accepted by the fluorine ion and thus it will convert to F^{-} ions. This process of acceptance of electrons is termed as reduction.

Mark the statement as true or false All of the proposed ideas by Dalton, Thompson, and Rutherford are still used in the modern t
kvv77 [185]

False

Although we use many of their ideas to describe atoms today, such as the existence of a tiny, dense nucleus in an atom (proposed by Rutherford), or the notion that all atoms of an element are identical (proposed by Dalton), some of their ideas have been rejected by the modern theory of the atom.

For example, Thompson came up with the plum pudding model to describe an atom, which resembled a sphere of positive charge with electrons embedded in it. We know now, however, that atoms are mostly empty space with a tiny, dense nucleus.

Another example is Dalton's atomic theory, which stated that atoms are indivisible particles. However, this was disproved by the discovery of subatomic particles.
