Answer:

The catalyzed reaction will take 2.85 seconds to occur.

Explanation:

The activation energy of a reaction is given by:                                                        

k = Ae^{-\frac{E_{a}}{RT}}

For the reaction without catalyst we have:

k_{1} = Ae^{-\frac{E_{a_{1}}}{RT}}   (1)

And for the reaction with the catalyst:

k_{2} = Ae^{-\frac{E_{a_{2}}}{RT}}   (2)

Assuming that frequency factor (A) and the temperature (T) are constant, by dividing equation (1) with equation (2) we have:                      

\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = \frac{Ae^{-\frac{E_{a_{1}}}{RT}}}{Ae^{-\frac{E_{a_{2}}}{RT}}}

\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = e^{\frac{E_{a_{2}} - E_{a_{1}}}{RT}    

\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = e^{\frac{59.0 \cdot 10^{3}J/mol - 184 \cdot 10^{3} J/mol}{8.314 J/Kmol*600 K} = 1.31 \cdot 10^{-11}    

Since the reaction rate is related to the time as follow:

k = \frac{\Delta [R]}{t}

And assuming that the initial concentrations ([R]) are the same, we have:

\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = \frac{\Delta [R]/t_{1}}{\Delta [R]/t_{2}}

\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = \frac{t_{2}}{t_{1}}

t_{2} = t_{1}\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = 6900 y*1.31 \cdot 10^{-11} = 9.04 \cdot 10^{-8} y*\frac{365 d}{1 y}*\frac{24 h}{1 d}*\frac{3600 s}{1 h} = 2.85 s

Therefore, the catalyzed reaction will take 2.85 seconds to occur.

I hope it helps you!

(THERMAL ENERGY ONE !)
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Key results in the Lab guide are results that justify the reasons to either accept or reject a hypothesis.

To summarize data related to findings in an experiments we make use of diagrams that shows the relationship between the different data.

Although the Lab guide in the question is missing a general answer within the scope of your question is provided above

Key results in an experiment are either milestone results leading to the final result of an experiment or results obtained that might not be part of the experiment but very important to the success of the experiments. therefore results that leads to the acceptance or rejection of a hypothesis in an experiment is a key result.   while

The best way to summarize data related to findings is the use of diagrams. ( graphical representation of the relationships between data contained in an experiment )

Hence we can conclude that use of diagrams is the best way to show the relationship between different data related to experimental findings while key results are results that justifies the acceptance of a hypothesis.

6. A 25.0-mL sample of 0.125 M pyridine is titrated with 0.100 M HCI. Calculate the pH
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

a) pH = 9.14

b) pH = 8.98

c) pH = 8.79

Explanation:

In this case we have an acid base titration. We have a weak base in this case the pyridine (C₅H₅N) and a strong acid which is the HCl.

Now, we want the know the pH of the resulting solution when we add the following volume of acid: 0, 10 and 20.

To know this, we first need to know the equivalence point of this titration. This can be known using the following expression:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂  (1)

Using this expression, we can calculate the volume of acid required to reach the equivalence point. Doing that we have:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

V₁ = M₂V₂ / M₁

V₁ = 0.125 * 25 / 0.1 = 31.25 mL

This means that the acid and base will reach the equivalence point at 31.25 mL of acid added. So, the volume of added acid of before, are all below this mark, so we can expect that the pH of this solution will be higher than 7, in other words, still basic.

To know the value of pH, we need to apply the following expression:

pH = 14 - pOH  (2)

the pOH can be calculated using this expression:

pOH = -log[OH⁻]  (3)

The [OH⁻] is a value that can be calculated when the pyridine is dissociated into it's ion. However, as this is a weak acid, the pyridine will not dissociate completely in solution, instead, only a part of it will be dissociated. Now, to know this, we need the Kb value of the pyridine.

The reported Kb value of the pyridine is 1.5x10⁻⁹ so, with this value we will do an ICE chart for each case, and then, calculate the value of the pH.

<u>a) 0 mL of acid added.</u>

In this case, the titration has not begun, so the concentration of the base will not be altered. Now, with the Kb value, let's write an ICE chart to calculate the [OH⁻], the pOH and then the pH:

       C₅H₅N + H₂O <-------> C₅H₅NH⁺ + OH⁻     Kb = 1.5x10⁻⁹

i)       0.125                                0             0

e)        -x                                   +x           +x

c)      0.125-x                              x             x

Writting the Kb expression:

Kb = [C₅H₅NH⁺] [OH⁻] / [C₅H₅N]    replacing the values of the chart:

1.5x10⁻⁹ = x² / 0.125-x --> Kb is really small, so we can assume that x will be very small too, and 0.125-x can be neglected to only 0.125, and then:

1.5x10⁻⁹ = x² / 0.125

1.5x10⁻⁹ * 0.125 = x²

x = [OH⁻] = 1.37x10⁻⁵ M

Now, we can calculate the pOH:

pOH = -log(1.37x10⁻⁵) = 4.86

Finally the pH:

pH = 14 - 4.86

<h2>pH = 9.14</h2>

<u>b) 10 mL of acid added</u>

In this case the titration has begun so the acid starts to react with the base, so we need to know how many moles of the base remains after the volume of added acid:

moles acid = 0.1 * (0.010) = 1x10⁻³ moles

moles base = 0.125 * 0.025 = 3.125x10⁻³

This means that the base is still in higher quantities, and the acid is the limiting reactant here, so the remaining moles will be:

remaining moles of pyridine = 3.125x10⁻³ - 1x10⁻³ = 2.125x10⁻³ moles

The concentration of pyridine in solution:

[C₅H₅N] = 2.125x10⁻³ / (0.025 + 0.010) = 0.0607 M

Now with this concentration, we will do the same procedure of before, with the ICE chart, but replacing this new value of the base, to get the [OH⁻] and then the pH:

        C₅H₅N + H₂O <-------> C₅H₅NH⁺ + OH⁻     Kb = 1.5x10⁻⁹

i)       0.0607                             0             0

e)        -x                                   +x           +x

c)      0.0607-x                           x             x

Writting the Kb expression:

Kb = [C₅H₅NH⁺] [OH⁻] / [C₅H₅N]    replacing the values of the chart:

1.5x10⁻⁹ = x² / 0.0607-x --> 0.0607

1.5x10⁻⁹ = x² / 0.0607

1.5x10⁻⁹ * 0.0607 = x²

x = [OH⁻] = 9.54x10⁻⁶ M

Now, we can calculate the pOH:

pOH = -log(9.54x10⁻⁶) = 5.02

Finally the pH:

pH = 14 - 5.02

<h2>pH = 8.98</h2>

<u>c) 20 mL of acid added:</u>

In this case the titration it's almost reaching the equivalence point and the acid is still reacting with the base, so we need to know how many moles of the base remains after the volume of added acid:

moles acid = 0.1 * (0.020) = 2x10⁻³ moles

moles base = 0.125 * 0.025 = 3.125x10⁻³

This means that the base is still in higher quantities, and the acid is the limiting reactant here, so the remaining moles will be:

remaining moles of pyridine = 3.125x10⁻³ - 2x10⁻³ = 1.125x10⁻³ moles

The concentration of pyridine in solution:

[C₅H₅N] = 1.125x10⁻³ / (0.025 + 0.020) = 0.025 M

Now with this concentration, we will do the same procedure of before, with the ICE chart, but replacing this new value of the base, to get the [OH⁻] and then the pH:

        C₅H₅N + H₂O <-------> C₅H₅NH⁺ + OH⁻     Kb = 1.5x10⁻⁹

i)       0.025                                0             0

e)        -x                                   +x           +x

c)      0.025-x                             x             x

Writting the Kb expression:

Kb = [C₅H₅NH⁺] [OH⁻] / [C₅H₅N]    replacing the values of the chart:

1.5x10⁻⁹ = x² / 0.025-x --> 0.025

1.5x10⁻⁹ = x² / 0.025

1.5x10⁻⁹ * 0.025 = x²

x = [OH⁻] = 6.12x10⁻⁶ M

Now, we can calculate the pOH:

pOH = -log(6.12x10⁻⁶) = 5.21

Finally the pH:

pH = 14 - 5.21

<h2>pH = 8.79</h2>

What is the molecular geometry if you have 3 single bonds and 1 lone pair around the central atom?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

There are 2 double bond units and 1 lone pair, which will try to get as far apart as possible - taking up a trigonal planar arrangement. Because the lone pair isn't counted when you describe the shape, SO2 is described as bent or V-shaped.
