A chemical breaks down in a flow-balanced, steady-state CFMR according to first-order reaction kinetics. At steady state, the up

stream and downstream concentration of the chemical are 15 mg/L and 5 g/m3. Water is being treated at a rate of 0.42 m3/sec. The volume of the tank is 500,000 liters. Assuming a first-order reaction, what is the rate constant

Answer:

k =0.101 \ min^{-1}

Explanation:

From the given information:

The initial concentration of a chemical C_{AO} = 15 \ mg/L

The final concentration is C_A = 5 \ g/m^3 = 5 mg/L

Volume flow rate V_o = 0.42 \ m^3/sec

Volume of the tank V = 500 000 L = 500 m³

The time t is determined by using the formula:

t= \dfrac{V}{V_o}

t= \dfrac{500 \ m^3}{0.42 \ m^3/sec}

t = 1190.47 sec

t ≅ 19.8 min

∴

The rate of the decay constant is:

kt= \dfrac{C_{AO}-C_{A}}{C_A} \\ \\ k = \dfrac{1}{19.8}( \dfrac{15-5}{5})

k =0.101 \ min^{-1}

A solution may contain Ag+, Pb2+, and/or Hg22+. A white precipitate forms when 6 M HCl is added. The precipitate is partially so
omeli [17]

Answer:

All three are present

Explanation:

Addition of 6 M HCl would form precipitates of all the three cations, since the chlorides of these cations are insoluble: AgCl (s), PbCl_2 (s), Hg_2Cl_2 (s).

  • Firstly, the solid produced is partially soluble in hot water. Remember that out of all the three solids, lead(II) choride is the most soluble. It would easily completely dissolve in hot water. This is how we separate it from the remaining precipitate. Therefore, we know that we have lead(II) cations present, as the two remaining chlorides are insoluble even at high temperatures.
  • Secondly, addition of liquid ammonia would form a precipitate with silver: AgCl (s) + 2 NH_3 (aq) + H_2O (l)\rightarrow [Ag(NH_3)_2]OH (s) + HCl (aq); Silver hydroxide at higher temperatures decomposes into black silver oxide: 2 [Ag(NH_3)_2]OH (s)\rightarrow Ag_2O (s) + H_2O (l) + 4 NH_3 (g).
  • Thirdly, we also know we have Hg_2^{2+} in the mixture, since addition of potassium chromate produces a yellow precipitate: Hg_2^{2+} (aq) + CrO_4^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow Hg_2CrO_4 (s). The latter precipitate is yellow.

How many moles of solute are contained in a 250.0-milliliter solution that has a concentration of 0.85 M?
adoni [48]

Answer : The correct option is, 0.21 moles

Solution : Given,

Molarity of the solution = 0.85 M = 0.85 mole/L

Volume of solution = 250 ml = 0.25 L     (1L=1000ml)

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of the solution.

Formula used :

Molarity=\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the moles of solute of the solution.

0.85mole/L=\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{0.25L}

\text{moles of solute}=0.2125=0.21moles

Therefore, the moles of solute is, 0.21 moles

A 9.03 g sample of magnesium reacts completely with 3.48 g of nitrogen to form a compound of
hjlf

Answer:

12.5 g

Explanation:

<em>12.5 g of the compound would be formed.</em>

First, let us look at the balanced equation of reaction.

3 Mg(s) + N_2(g) --> Mg_3N_2(s)

3 moles of Mg is required to react with 1 mole of N2 to produce 1 mole of product.

<em>Recall that: mole = mass/molar mass</em>

9.03 g of Mg = 9.03/24.3 = 0.3716 mole

3.48 g of N2 = 3.48/28 = 0.1243 mole

Mole ratio of Mg/N2 = 3:1

<em>Hence, there is no limiting reactant.</em>

3 moles of Mg is required for 1 mole of product.

0.3716 mole of Mg will therefore require:

       0.3716 x 1/3 = 0.1239 moles of product.

Molar mass of product Mg_3N_2 = 100.9 g/mol

Mass of 0.1239 mole Mg_3N_2 = mole x molar mass

                      = 0.1239 x 100.9 = 12.5 g
