Answer:

Yes, they are.

Explanation:

The United States is one of these nuclear superpowers, making the ethical issues associated with these weapons critical and relevant. ... Most research across disciplines unanimously agrees that it is immoral to detonate an atomic weapon due to both short and long-term catastrophic effects.

In fact, some scholars have concluded that it is therefore morally wrong to act in ways that produce these outcomes, which means it is morally wrong to engage in nuclear warfare.

Answer:

NO not at all.

Explanation:

After reading the accounts of people who survived the bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 during World War II, I was horrified just reading the testimonies. Almost every single survivor described the skinless and bloated bodies they had seen everywhere. Inosuke Hayasaki, a surivor of the bombing, noticed one of his classmates, among many other citizens, pleading for water. When he tried listening for his heartbeat, his "skin slipped right off". Bombs are used in war so the other side will surrender. Bombs are aimed at "enemies" as if every being is an object to destroy. So no, bombing----let alone nuclear bombing----is ethical.

The iodide ion reacts with hypochlorite ion (the active ingredient in chlorine bleaches) in the following way: OCl−+I−→OI−+Cl− T

motikmotik

Answer :

(a) The rate law for the reaction is:

$\text{Rate}=k[OCl^-]^1[I^-]^1$

(b) The value of rate constant is, $60.4M^{-1}s^{-1}$

(c) rate of the reaction is $6.52\times 10^{-5}Ms^{-1}$

Explanation :

Rate law : It is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$OCl^-+I^-\rightarrow OI^-+Cl^-$

Rate law expression for the reaction:

$\text{Rate}=k[OCl^-]^a[I^-]^b$

where,

a = order with respect to $OCl^-$

b = order with respect to $I^-$

Expression for rate law for first observation:

$1.36\times 10^{-4}=k(1.5\times 10^{-3})^a(1.5\times 10^{-3})^b$ ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

$2.72\times 10^{-4}=k(3.0\times 10^{-3})^a(1.5\times 10^{-3})^b$ ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

$2.72\times 10^{-4}=k(1.5\times 10^{-3})^a(3.0\times 10^{-3})^b$ ....(3)

Dividing 1 from 2, we get:

$\frac{2.72\times 10^{-4}}{1.36\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{k(3.0\times 10^{-3})^a(1.5\times 10^{-3})^b}{k(1.5\times 10^{-3})^a(1.5\times 10^{-3})^b}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1$

Dividing 1 from 3, we get:

$\frac{2.72\times 10^{-4}}{1.36\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{k(1.5\times 10^{-3})^a(1.5\times 10^{-3})^b}{k(1.5\times 10^{-3})^a(3.0\times 10^{-3})^b}\\\\2=2^b\\b=1$

Thus, the rate law becomes:

$\text{Rate}=k[OCl^-]^a[I^-]^b$

a = 1 and b = 1

$\text{Rate}=k[OCl^-]^1[I^-]^1$

Now, calculating the value of 'k' (rate constant) by using any expression.

$1.36\times 10^{-4}=k(1.5\times 10^{-3})(1.5\times 10^{-3})$

$k=60.4M^{-1}s^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the rate for a reaction when concentration of $OCl^-$ and $I^-$ is $1.8\times 10^{-3}M$ and $6.0\times 10^{-4}M$ respectively.
