In another experiment, a 0.150 M BF4^-(aq) solution is prepared by dissolving NaBF4(s) in distilled water. The BF4^-(aq) ions in

the solution slowly react with H2O(l) in the reversible reaction represented below.
BF4-(aq) +H20(l) → BF3OH-(aq) + HF(aq)

[HF] reaches a constant value of 0.0174 M when the reaction reaches equilibrium. For the forward reaction, the rate law is rate = kf [BF4-]. The value of the rate constant kf was experimentally determined to be 9.00x10-4 min-1.

Required:
a. Calculate the rate of the forward reaction after 600 minutes.
b. A student claims that the initial rate of the reverse reaction is equal to zero. Do you agree or disagree with this claim?

Answer:

A) Forward rate = 1.1934 × 10^(-4) M/min

B) I disagree with the claim

Explanation:

A) We are told that [HF] reaches a constant value of 0.0174 M at equilibrium.

The reversible reaction given to us is;

BF4-(aq) +H20(l) → BF3OH-(aq) + HF(aq)

From this, we can see that the stoichiometric ratio is 1:1:1:1

Thus, concentration of [BF4-] is now;

[BF4-] = 0.150 - 0.0174

[BF4-] = 0.1326 M

From the rate law, we are told the forward rate is kf [BF4-].

We are given Kf = 9.00 × 10^(-4) /min

Thus;

Forward rate = 9.00 × 10^(-4) /min × (0.1326M)

Forward rate = 1.1934 × 10^(-4) M/min

(B) The student claims that the initial rate of the reverse reaction is equal to zero can't be true because at equilibrium, rates for the forward and reverse reactions are usually equal.

Thus, I disagree with the claim.

What is Alkaline and acid​
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Alkaline is a substance that is over the pH of 7. an acid is a substance that is lower than the pH of 7

When universal indicator is put into an alkaline substance it will turn blue/purple/black. If it is an acid the substance will turn red/orange/yellow

The same will happen if litmus paper is used instaed. If the paper turns blue/purple/black it means that the substance is an alkaline. If the paper turns red/orange/yellow it means that the substance is an acid

If the substance or the litmus paper turns green it means that it is neutral (It has the pH of 7)

Draw the structure of 2 methyl,but-3-ene
Maslowich

Answer:

Please find the structure attached as an image

Explanation:

Based on the characteristics ending name (-ene) of the organic compound above, it belongs to the ALKENE GROUP. Alkenes are characterized by the possession of a carbon to carbon double bond (C=C) in their structure.

- But-3-ene tells us that the organic compound has four straight carbon atoms with the C=C (double bond) located on the THIRD carbon depending on if we count from right to left or vice versa.

- 2 methyl indicates that the methyl group (-CH3) is located as an attachment on the second carbon (carbon 2).

N.B: In the structure attached below, the counting is from the left to right (→).
