Answer:

A. How the concentration of the reactants affects the rate of a reaction

Explanation:

Let's consider a generic reaction.

A + B ⇒ Products

The generic rate law is:

rate = k × [A]ᵃ × [B]ᵇ

where,

rate: rate of the reaction

[A] and [B]: molar concentrations of the reactants

k: rate constant

a and b: reaction orders

As we can see, the rate law shows how the concentration of the reactants affects the rate of a reaction.

Chemistry what is stoichiometry and the different formulas

USPshnik [31]

Stoichiometry is the relationship between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction or forming a compound, typically a ratio of whole integers. Hoped this helped!!!!. Also if you are trying to look for the formulas it should be online just type in stoichometry formulas.

Write ionic equations for any three of the following:

worty [1.4K]

The ionic equation is:

H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)

HNO₃(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaNO₃(aq) + H2O(l)

The required dissociations are

HNO₃(aq) → H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

NaOH(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

NaNO₃(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

So, the ionic equation is

H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)

The ionic equation is

H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) + K⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → K⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) → KCl(aq) + H2O(l)

The required dissociations are

HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

KOH(aq) → K⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

KCl(aq) → K⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

So, the ionic equation is

H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) + K⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → K⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)

The ionic equation is

2H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + Mg²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)

+ 2H₂O(l)

H₂SO₄(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + 2H2O(l)

The required dissociations are

H₂SO₄(aq) → 2H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)

Mg(OH)₂(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

MgSO₄(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)

So, the ionic equation is

2H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + Mg²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)

+ 2H₂O(l)

8.7 Two products are formed in the following reaction in a 50:50 mixture. Would the resulting solution be optically active

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Yes. The solution would be optically active.

Explanation:

Diastereomer are defined as the image that is non mirror and non -identical. It is made up of two stereoisomers. They are formed when the two stereoisomers or more than two stereoisomers of the compound have the same configuration at the equivalent stereocenters.

In the given context, as the product given is a diastereomeric mixture, the product would have an optical activity in total.

So the answer is Yes.

________________ is 'The movement of a liquid up a narrow tube due to adhesive affects.'

jolli1 [7]

Answer: capillary action

Explanation: it occurs when the adhesion forces (attraction between two surfaces or substances) in the liquid are stronger than the cohesion forces (attraction between the same molecule)

Group the following electron configurations in pairs that would represent similar chemical properties at their atoms;

marishachu [46]

Answer: Pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

Explanation:

In a periodic table, elements are arranged in 18 vertical columns known as groups and 7 horizontal rows known as periods.

Elements arranged in a group show similar chemical properties because of the presence of same number of valence electrons.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given options:

For a:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

For b:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^3$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

For c:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

For d:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^2$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

For e:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^6$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

For f:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

Electronic configuration of (a) and (d) will form a pair, (b) and (f) will form a pair, (c) and (e) will form a pair and will have similar chemical properties.

Hence, the pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)
