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.

2. I believe it would be two but then again this is an incomplete answer so it is not two. It's probably going to be 3. Or 1. Because I took this test before a while back and I'm almost a 100% sure it's 1 or 3. Hope this helps slightly!

Drag each label to the correct location on the image.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

<em>Uses energy: Amoeba and clock both use energy</em>

<em>Contains cells: true for the amoeba.</em>

<em>Lacks genetic material: true for a clock.</em>

<em>Reproduces: True for amoeba</em>

<em>Has internal organization: True for amoeba and clock both</em>

<em> </em>

Amoeba can be described as a single-celled organism and hence is a living thing. It will show characteristics of a living thing. Whereas, a clock can be described as a device to watch time. It is a non- living thing.

Part 1 Designing an Investigation

Answer:

The experimental plan is to measure the values of the dependent variable, which is the temperature of the pizza after it is cooled in each of the heat (temperature) environments, which is the dependent variable, for a given equal period of time, which is the control

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The temperature of the pizza = 400°F

The temperature of the freezer = 0°F

The temperature of the refrigerator = 40°F

The temperature of the countertop = 78°F

Given that the independent variable = The heat to which the hot pizza is subjected

The dependent variable = The temperature to which the pizza cools down

The experiment plan includes;

1) Place the pizza which is at 400°F in each of the different heat environment, which are, the freezer, the fridge, and the counter top, for the same period of time and record the final temperature of the pizza

2) The option that gives the lowest final temperature within the same time frame is the option that will let the pizza cool down fastest.
