Answer:
(a) rate = 4.82 x 10⁻³s⁻¹ [N2O5]
(b) rate = 1.16 x 10⁻⁴ M/s
(c) rate = 2.32 x 10⁻⁴ M/s
(d) rate = 5.80 x 10⁻⁵ M/s
Explanation:
We are told the rate law is first order in N₂O₅, and its rate constant is 4.82 x 10⁻³s⁻¹ . This means the rate is proportional to the molar concentration of N₂O₅, so
(a) rate = k [N2O5] = 4.82 x 10⁻³s⁻¹ x [N2O5]
(b) rate = 4.82×10⁻³s⁻¹ x 0.0240 M = 1.16 x 10⁻⁴ M/s
(c) Since the reaction is first order if the concentration of N₂O₅ is double the rate will double too: 2 x 1.16 x 10⁻⁴ M/s = 2.32 x 10⁻⁴ M/s
(d) Again since the reaction is halved to 0.0120 M, the rate will be halved to
1.16 x 10⁻⁴ M/s / 2 = 5.80 x 10⁻⁵ M/s
The answer is atomic radii; the size or radii of an atom increases from left to right, versus the ionization energies and electronegativities of atoms which increase from right to left.
The unit is the Kelvin, but most of the time 273 is subtracted from the Kelvin temperature and the new number is called "degrees Celsius".
