Chemistry

Talja [164]3 years ago

Answer: The activation energy Ea for this reaction is 22689.8 J/mol

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation with change in temperature, the formula is as follows.

ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}} = \frac{-E_{a}}{R}[\frac{1}{T_{2}} - \frac{1}{T_{1}}]

k_1 = rate constant at temperature T_1 = 2.3\times 10^8

k_2 = rate constant at temperature T_2 = 4.8\times 10^8

E_a= activation energy = ?

R= gas constant = 8.314 J/kmol

T_1 = temperature = 280.0^0C=(273+280)=553K

T_2 = temperature = 376.0^0C=(273+376)=649K

Putting in the values ::

ln \frac{4.8\times 10^8}{2.3\times 10^8} = \frac{-E_{a}}{8.314}[\frac{1}{649} - \frac{1}{553}]

E_a=22689.8J/mol

The activation energy Ea for this reaction is 22689.8 J/mol

If we add a catalyst to the following equation, CO + H2O + heat CO2 + H2, which way will the equilibrium shift?
Igoryamba

Answer:

No effect.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the widely studied Le Chatelier's principle, we can realize that the factors affecting equilibrium are concentration, temperature and pressure and volume if the reaction is in gaseous phase and with non-zero change in the number of moles. In such a way, by adding a catalyst to given reaction will have no effect on the equilibrium direction.

Best regards.

Write and balance the chemical equation for the reaction associated with ΔHof of Li3N(s). What is the sum of all of the coeffici
ivann1987 [24]

Explanation:

In this reaction, the reactants are Li and N2. The product is Li3N

So we have;

Li + N2 → Li3N

Upon balancing, we have;

6Li + N2 → 2 Li3N

The sum of the coefficients is 6 + 1 + 2 = 9

Assuming complete dissociation, what is the ph of a 3.24 mg/l ba(oh)2 solution?
weqwewe [10]
We need to first find the molarity of Ba(OH₂) solution.
A mass of 3.24 mg is dissolved in 1 L solution.
Ba(OH)₂ moles dissolved - 3.24 x 10⁻³ g/171.3 g/mol = 1.90 x 10⁻⁵ mol
dissociaton of Ba(OH)₂ is as follows;
Ba(OH)₂ --> Ba²⁺ + 2OH⁻
1 mol of Ba(OH)₂ dissociates to form 2OH⁻ ions.
Therefore [OH⁻] = (1.90 x 10⁻⁵)x2  = 3.8 x 10⁻⁵ M
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
pOH = -log (3.8 x 10⁻⁵)
pOH = 4.42
pH + pOH = 14
therefore pH = 14 - 4.42 
pH = 9.58

In an experiment, hydrochloric acid reacted with different volumes of sodium thiosulfate in water. A yellow precipitate was form
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The time taken for the cross mark to disappear decreases steadily down the column.

Explanation:

Now if we look at the data provided, we will discover that the volume of the HCl was held constant while the volume of the thiosulphate was increased steadily and the volume of water decreased steadily.

Recall that a system is more concentrated when it contains less volume of water and more volume of reactants. Hence as the volume of water in the system is being reduced, the concentration of reactants is increased.

It has been established that an increase in the concentration of reactants lead to an increase in the rate of reaction. The disappearance of the cross shows the completion of the reaction between HCl and thiosulphate. The faster or slower the cross disappears, the faster or slower the rate of reaction.

Since increase in concentration of reactants increases the rate of reaction, it is observed that as the volume of the thiosulphate increases (reactant concentration increases) the cross disappears faster (rate of reactant increases). Hence as the volume of thiosulphate increases, it takes a shorter time for the cross to disappear. This implies that the time column in the table (refer to the question) will decrease steadily as the volume of thiosulphate increases.
