Answer:

Because the location of many of the earth's natural resources like fertile soils, ore deposits, fossil fuels, and geothermal energy can be explained by the theory of plate tectonics.

At divergent boundaries, plates separate, forming a narrow rift valley. Here, geysers spurt super-heated water, and magma, or molten rock, rises from the mantle and solidifies into basalt, forming new crust. Thus, at divergent boundaries, oceanic crust is created.

The reaction 2NO(g)+O2(g)−→−2NO2(g) is second order in NO and first order in O2. When [NO]=0.040M, and [O2]=0.035M, the observed

Answer:

(a) The rate of disappearance of $O_{2}$ is: $4.65*10^{-5}$ M/s

(b) The value of rate constant is: 0.83036 $M^{-2}s^{-1}$

(d) The rate will increase by a factor of 3.24

Explanation:

The rate of a reaction can be expressed in terms of the concentrations of the reactants and products in accordance with the balanced equation.

For the given reaction:

$2NO(g)+O_{2}->2NO_{2}$

rate = $-\frac{1}{2} \frac{d}{dt}[NO]$ = $-\frac{d}{dt}[O_{2}]$ = $\frac{1}{2}\frac{d}{dt}[NO_{2}]$ -----(1)

According to the question, the reaction is second order in NO and first order in $O_{2}$ .

Then we can say that, rate = k $[NO]^{2}[O_{2}]$ -----(2)

where k is the rate constant.

The rate of disappearance of NO is given:

$-\frac{d}{dt}[NO]$ = $9.3*10^{-5}$ M/s.

(a) From (1), we can get the rate of disappearance of $O_{2}$ .

Rate of disappearance of $O_{2}$ = $-\frac{d}{dt}[O_{2}]$ = (0.5)*( $9.3*10^{-5}$ ) M/s = $4.65*10^{-5}$ M/s.

(b) The rate of the reaction can be obtained from (1).

rate = $-\frac{1}{2} \frac{d}{dt}[NO]$ = (0.5)*( $9.3*10^{-5}$ )

rate = $4.65*10^{-5}$ M/s

The value of rate constant can be obtained by using (2).

rate constant = k = $\frac{rate}{[NO]^{2}[O_{2}]}$

k = $\frac{4.65*10^{-5}}{(0.040)^{2}(0.035)}$ = 0.83036 $M^{-2}s^{-1}$

k = $\frac{rate}{[NO]^{2}[O_{2}]}$

Substituting the units of rate as M/s and concentrations as M, we get:

$\frac{Ms^{-1} }{M^{3}}$ = $M^{-2}s^{-1}$

(d) The reaction is second order in NO. Rate is proportional to square of the concentration of NO.

$rate\alpha [NO]^{2}$

If the concentration of NO increases by a factor of 1.8, the rate will increase by a factor of $(1.8)^{2}$ = 3.24

Acetic acid and water react to form hydronium cation and acetate anion, like this:

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The answer is "Greater than zero, and greater than the rate of the reverse reaction".

Explanation:

It applies a rate of reaction to the balance, a forward response dominates until it reaches a constant. This process is balanced before 52 mmol of the reactant $HC H_{3} \ CO_2$ , to which 3 is added. In balance, that rate of the forward reaction was its rate with forwarding reaction, both of which are higher than 0 as the response has achieved balance so that both species get a level greater than 0.
