1 answer:
Complete question:
Consider the hypothetical reaction 4A + 2B → C + 3D
Over an interval of 4.0 s the average rate of change of the concentration of B was measured to be -0.0760 M/s. What is the final concentration of A at the end of this same interval if its concentration was initially 1.600 M?
Answer:
the final concentration of A is 0.992 M.
Explanation:
Given;
time of reaction, t = 4.0 s
rate of change of the concentration of B = -0.0760 M/s
initial concentration of A = 1.600 M
⇒Determine the rate of change of the concentration of A.
From the given reaction: 4A + 2B → C + 3D
2 moles of B ---------------> 4 moles of A
-0.0760 M/s of B -----------> x
⇒Determine the change in concentration of A after 4s;
ΔA = -0.152 M/s x 4s
ΔA = -0.608 M
⇒ Determine the final concentration of A after 4s
A = A₀ + ΔA
A = 1.6 M + (-0.608 M)
A = 1.6 M - 0.608 M
A = 0.992 M
Therefore, the final concentration of A is 0.992 M.

A) initial volume
We can calculate the initial volume of the gas by using the ideal gas law:
where
is the initial pressure of the gas
is the initial volume of the gas
is the number of moles
is the gas constant
is the initial temperature of the gas
By re-arranging this equation, we can find:
2) Now the gas cools down to a temperature of
while the pressure is kept constant:
, so we can use again the ideal gas law to find the new volume of the gas
3) In a process at constant pressure, the work done by the gas is equal to the product between the pressure and the difference of volume:
by using the data we found at point 1) and 2), we find
where the negative sign means the work is done by the surrounding on the gas.
