Answer:

C₂H₃O

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Carbon (C) = 48.8383%

Hydrogen (H) = 8.1636%

Oxygen (O) = 43.1981%

Empirical formula =?

The empirical formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:

C = 48.8383%

H = 8.1636%

O = 43.1981%

Divide by their molar mass

C = 48.8383 / 12 = 4.07

H = 8.1636 / 1 = 8.1636

O = 43.1981 / 16 = 2.7

Divide by the smallest

C = 4.07 / 2.7 = 2

H = 8.1636 / 2.7 = 3

O = 2.7 /2.7 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is C₂H₃O

Many double-displacement reactions are enzyme-catalyzed via the "ping pong" mechanism, so called because the reactants appear to
zhenek [66]

Answer:

<u>D. It will decrease by a factor of 4</u>

Explanation:

According to the question , the equation follows :

A+B\rightarrow C+D

Rate law : This states the rate of reaction is directly proportional to concentration of reactants with each reactant raised to some power which may or may not be equal to the stoichiometeric coefficient.

Rate\ \alpha [A]^{a}[B]^{b}

r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}.................(1)

STEP": First, find out the power "a" and "b"

a+b = 3 (because it is given that the reaction follow 3rd order-kinetics)

According to question, <u><em>doubling the concentration of the first reactant causes the rate to increase by a factor of 2 means,</em></u>

r' = 2r if [A'] = 2[A]

Here [B] is uneffected means [B']=[B]

hence new rate =

r'=[A']^{a}[B']^{b}

Put the value of [A'] , [B'] and r' in the above equation:

2r=[2A]^{a}[B]^{b}...........(2)

Divide equation (1) by (2) we , get

\frac{2r}{r}=\frac{[2A]^{2}[B]^{b}}{[A]^{a}[B]^{b}}

2= 2(\frac{A}{A})^{a}\times (\frac{B}{B})^{b}

Here A and A cancel each other

B and B cancel each other

We get,

2= 2^{a}\times 1^{b}

1^b = 1 ( power of 1 = 1)

2= 2^{a}

This is possible only when a = 1

We know that : a + b = 3

1 + b = 3

b =3 -1  = 2

b = 2

Hence the rate law becomes :

r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}

<u>r=[A]^{1}[B]^{2}.............(3)</u>

Look in the question now, it is asked to calculate the concentration of [B],if  cut in half

Hence

[B']=1/2[B]

Insert the value of [B'] in equation (3)

r'=[A]^{1}[B']^{2}

r'=[A]^{1}(\frac{1}{2}[B])^{2}

r'=\frac{1}{4}[A]^{1}[B]^{2}............(a)

But

r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}..............(b)

Compare equation (a) and (b) , we get

new rate r' =

<u>r' = 1/4 r</u>
